Apparently (link here), congressmen cannot wish their constituents "Merry Christmas" in tax payer funded mailings to their districts.
I say, SO WHAT? They shouldn't have franking privileges to begin with.
It's a massive waste of money. It's a way to keep their name ID up and help with their reelections.
There is no need for this in the age of emails/internet/facebook/twitter/etc....
My Representative just sent a post card telling us he supports the 2nd amendment. Um....that's his job! He took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the right to bear arms was the 2nd amendment to this Constitution.
Complete waste of tax money. It doesn't matter what party one affiliates himself with....Wilson did this and now Johnson is,.....it's a waste of money.
