Comment: Mark, this letter has a resentful and defensive tone. You had to turn your answering machine off because you attacked the Americans of all faiths who elected you to represent them in this district.  In a time when the vast majority of Americans feel their government doesn't work for them, you chose the absolute worst time to turn on them, as so many came together in mutual support of each other.  You just don't get it, or them.  This letter just dug your hole deeper.  An apology to your constituents would have been a lot more more appropriate.  BTW, "Mr. Federal Way" is not an elected representative.
