Assumptions on act

To Rep. Steve Womack re the Limit, Save, Grow Act: I make these assumptions: 1. You are intelligent. 2. You are honest. 3. You have at least a fifth-grade education in math. 4. You understand the definition of “debt.” 5. You understand the definition of “default.” 6. You understand the definition of “budget.” 7. You understand the definition of “negotiation.” 8. You understand the definition of “extortion.” 9. You understand the definition of “representation.” 10. You understand the definition of “public interest.” 11. You understand the definition of “legislation.” 12. You understand the definition of “responsibility.” 13. You understand what is contained in the “Limit, Save, Grow Act.”

If I am wrong in any of the assumptions, it is your obligation to correct your error.

If you support the “Limit, Save, Grow Act,” it is your obligation to correct your error.

If you believe the “Limit, Save, Grow Act” is a budget proposal, it is your obligation to correct your error.

I believe you know all of this, which leads me to the conclusion that in supporting the “Limit, Save, Grow Act,” you are putting the interest of the most extreme members of the Republican Party over the interests of the citizens of Arkansas’ 3rd District, the citizens of Arkansas, the state of Arkansas; over the interests of the citizens of the United States, the United States, the inhabitants of Earth, the Earth; over the interests of Republicans, the Republican Party; over my personal interests and over those of yourself.

If you do not reverse your position and persuade enough of your colleagues in the House to withdraw this travesty, pass a clean bill to raise or eliminate the “debt ceiling” and negotiate on the U.S. budget in good faith, at the appropriate time and in the appropriate debate venues, I will personally do everything within my power to see that you are removed from office.

I am watching.
