DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ANGER, FRUSTRATION

Dear Congressman Neil Abercrombie:

Tuesday it was shown to us, in graphic detail, that the U.S.
government is no longer able to protect its citizens. The
responsibility for the protection of the citizens is in the Preamble
of the Constitution. The Preamble is only one sentence and not
difficult to understand. Why can't we get it right? At this moment I
feel my government has abdicated its responsibility.

I have heard that we should have a terrorist czar and a war on
terrorism. Would that be similar to the drug czar and the war on
drugs? I hope not as those have been largely ineffective.

I submit to you that the people we have elected to represent us are
losing credibility at an alarming rate and they (yourself included)
had better shape up and do something to get control of this kind of
situation. There is a lot of anger and frustration out here.

Fred R. Boll
