Letter to the editor

[Greg in LA]

I'm writing a letter to the editor of the Santa Clarita Signal. The local news paper of the area I live in. It's aimed to get a response from our Congressmen, to start holding meetings during the August recess.
Please be my editor and see if you can improve this letter before I submit it on Monday.

Thanks.

Congressmen McKeon, afraid to meet with his constituents?


With hugely controversial legislation on immigration and amnesty for millions of illegal aliens having passed the Senate in June, Attention has now shifted to the US House of Representatives, as immigration legislation is reportedly being introduced shortly after the August recess.

It’s important for our Congressmen to hear the views of constituents during the August recess. August recess is the traditional time Congressmen return to their districts and meet with their constituents. Yet it seems Congressmen McKeon is missing in action.

I am sorry to say that since the Senate’s amnesty and immigration surge bill S744 passed the Senate, I have contacted Congressmen McKeon’s offices no less than eight times, in writing, phone and in person, and none of my letters or calls, have been responded to. McKeon’s offices are also unwilling to disclose the Congressmen’s current positions on amnesty for illegal aliens and immigration.

One can only wonder why the unwillingness to meet and hear the views of those the Congressmen is suppose to represent, and inform his constituency of his own thoughts regarding legalization of illegal immigrants as well as the Senates proposed vast increase in immigration rates?

Is Congressmen McKeon going soft on amnesty?

Is Congressmen McKeon working behind the scenes to depress the wages of millions of Americans by flooding the labor markets with millions of new work visas?

Why is Congressmen McKeon so afraid to meet with his constituents this August recess?

One can only wonder why?

Sincerely,
Greg
