And it is happening with increasing frequency and intensifying hostility.

These people have taken the time to study the administration’s agenda; in many cases they are more familiar with the details of the Stimulus Package, the Cap & Trade bill and the Obamacare proposal than most members of Congress and a great many of them took the time and effort to communicate to you in excruciating detail why each of these things is utterly toxic to this nation.
