Dear 112th Congress of the United States,
Congratulations on your recent election or re-election, for those of you in the House, and for some of you in the Senate.
Now get to work.
This open letter is to all of you generally, and to the recently elected, “new” Republican members of your august body specifically.
I’ve tried really hard to not do too much baby talk in this space but it’s been really hard because I have lots of stories to share. Since this is my first pregnancy, it’s been interesting.
For the first few months, I was really sick, every single day. I became an expert in throwing up and Allen became an expert in what not to do when your pregnant wife has her head in the toilet.

Letter to the Editor:
Since the early 1900s the position of governments throughout the United States have been to play Robin Hood to the citizens of the nation. The governments take from one group of individuals and transfer the monies or property to another group. Generally the transfer has taken place by extracting more from the wealthier citizens and transferring it to the poor or less fortunate citizens.
