“Dear Friend:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the conflict in northern Uganda. I welcome your thoughts and comments on this issue.

The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has fought the Ugandan government since 1988, waging a brutal campaign while displacing more than 1.4 million people. Should legislation concerning the conflict in northern Uganda come before the Senate, you may be certain I will keep your views in mind.

I appreciate hearing from you and hope you will not hesitate to keep in touch on any issue of concern to you.

Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
United States Senator”

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather see our government make a real effort to rescuing those who’ve been displaced than spending $9 trillion to extend credit to those who otherwise would be bankrupt. It’d be hard and it would suck, but I’d rather see redemption for the truly oppressed than continuing to feed the illusion of redemption here in USA.
