I was hoping to get
closure on a very delicate and sensitive situation involving the
hold-up of a military promotion, a well deserved promotion for a Lt.
General Herbert J. Carlisle, placed on hold for unrelated reasons by
Alaska's U.S. Senator Mark Begich - closure I wanted before this day
that honors our men & women in uniform. Closure herein was upon
my complaint against Mr. Begich for using tactics unbecoming a U.S.
Senator. Look, for a sitting U.S. Senator to use this type of creepy
blackmail against the United States Air Force, against an individual
with nothing too do with Mr. Begich's hardon over the closing of
Eielson Air Force base without reason that meets his criteria, is
there not a law against it – the “blackmail” to deliver or
else? I thought so, and filed a complaint with the Senate Select
Committee on Ethics to “censure” Mr. Begich. What a mistake and a
waste of my time, as the response from Barbara Boxer's office left me
spellbound and adamant that soldiers nowadays continue to face the
sad fact that this country has not learned from our mistakes, in the
way we treated the troops following the end of the Vietnam war. I am
starting to get sick and tired my party affiliation! If every vote
counts, Obama may be in for a struggle. Just for spite over this
careless disregard promoted by Begich, I might just vote for the
other side this time around. And if there are any legal wits out
there that can discipher this message from the Committee Chair's
office, as too why my complaint has no merit, please help out this
citizen in need of a legitimate answer. According to the Committee's
Chief Counsel & Staff Director:
This will respond to your
letter of complaint against Senator Mark Begich. In the absence of
evidence of improper conduct or violation of rule or law, it is each
Member's prerogative to determine how these responsibilities will be
conducted. A member's votes, legislative action, views, opinions,
public statements, associations, or choice of appearances are the
kinds of matters which the Committee has previously considered to be
within the discretion of each Member and which will generally not be
reviewed or commented upon by the Committee...the final judgment with
respect to such matters is reserved for a Member's constituents and
voters. Based upon a review of the information which you have
provided, and in view of the Committee's decision respecting such
matters, the Committee has concluded that no further action is
appropriate with respect to your complaint and the matter is
dismissed.
Sad it may appear, here
it is in a nutshell. There is not a single individual out there from
sea to shining sea that would argue against the fact that Mr.
Begich's tactics are borderline “Treason” like. But for this
committee under a democrat, if they had the balls to open up an
investigation, that could only lead to evidence enough that Begich
should be put away, incarcerated for “Treason”. Am I the only
“AMERICAN” that finds Mr. Begich's holding hostage the Air Force
and promotions out-of-touch reality? There existed more than enough
evidence to pursue “censure” against Begich. The Congress is
afraid to act, not only on important issues facing our nation, but
cannot find the guts for “Old Glory”, to fix what is broken. So
that is why we see this pathetic correspondence. It is indeed a “Do
Nothing Congress”, even on issues important to the citizens. The
way I read this lame excuse to do nothing, well it appears that each
member of Congress gets to police his or her own actions, or
inactions. Isn't self incrimination against the U.S. Constitution?
This law and no order seems to fit the perfect “Mobius Strip”
pattern. How do these things get passed? Simple, we are not looking,
or too busy tending our own hen house while the Constitution gets
ripped apart, shat on, spat on by botex babes. The bottom line, how
can this Memorial Day be honorable when we see demeaning things going
down, like Mr. Begich's blackmailing! If I were Mr. Carlisle, I would
sue Mr. Begich personally. Anyway, I used to honor this day, but
today I refrain, as when a Congress does not give a rat's ass about
our troops, then we have before us a doomed democracy! Please help,
sign a petition to “censure” Mr. Begich:
