Dear Rep. Peters:
It is with deep concern about the upcoming votes on health care and carbon dioxide limitation legislation that I call upon you to remember that, although you are a member of the Democratic Party and have a strong personal allegiance to President Obama and his agenda, you are... first and foremost... a representative for the people of your district.
The people of your district have made their position known... not by your election which was on the coattails of President Obama, but through their continuing public assemblies. The majority of the people of your district are well-educated and a large portion are self-employed. They know the profoundly negative impact that these bills will have upon them personally and professionally.
As these bills work through Congress, I want to remind you that your duty is to represent your constituents, not the Democratic Party. If you cannot make the distinction in these cases, you will be reminded again at the next election.
