I used to think that it was useless to write letters,<br>
but Bob has proven me wrong. Getting this ridiculous response<br>
from Davis in actual black and white seems to make it worthwhile.<br>
<br>
It's a classic. National Lampoon could not<br>
have done better than Davis's own copy writers.<br>
<br>
Hey, Rod, I got this little problem with the Executive Branch,<br>
the NSA, the CIA... Are those still Federal agencies?<br>

It's all the more regrettable that he replaced a congressman who,
whatever his faults, consistently voted against money for war in the
Mideast, from the Bush administration on. (I take some pride - but no
credit - from the fact that, when I ran against him ten years ago, I
told him to do that...)

<div>Worse, neither neoliberal party will present a candidate in 2014
with former Congressman Johnson's views on the war. Voters in the 13th
Illinois CD are effectively disfranchised on this issue (and others). </div>

<div>Of course, it's worthwhile to force the awful Davis from office,
but there's no reason to expect the last case to be better than than
the first. So it's certainly reasonable not to vote - or to hope for a
'third' party. </div>

Nothing short of the theoretical equivalent <br>
of a stout oak 2x4 up the side of the head<br>
is going to faze this slimy neocon f-----r.<br>
<br>
His gall and hypocrisy in addressing human rights<br>
reflects a lack of understanding that would make<br>
Belshazzar and Haman shudder.<br>

There is no reason to fear foreign threats as long<br>
as this domestic one is so close at hand.<br>

He deserves our total opposition and calumny.<br>

Mr. Robert R. Naiman<br>
802 E California Ave<br>
Urbana, IL 61801-4342<br>
<br>
Dear Mr. Naiman,<br>
<br>
Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for a letter written
by Congressman Dent and Congressman Price highlighting the need for
diplomacy with Iran. I appreciate hearing from constituents in my
district and the time you took to share your thoughts. <br>
<br>
On June 15, 2013, Hassan Rouhani was elected as the new President of
Iran. Rouhani was one of eight candidates approved to run for President
by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has been in power as
Iran's top official for 24 years. <br>
<br>
I support diplomacy and in order to be successful, the Administration
needs all the leverage possible to maintain pressure economically and
politically. That being said, few things concern me more on a national
and world security front than a nuclear-armed Iran. I am a co-sponsor
of H.R. 850, the Nuclear Iran Prevention Act which would strengthen
enforcement of current U.S. sanctions on Iran, expand sanctions
targeting Iran's human rights violations, and authorize the President
to impose sanctions on any entity that maintains significant commercial
ties to Iran. While I did not sign this particular letter, I did want
to share my support for diplomacy. I will keep your thoughts in mind as
Congress considers future legislation dealing with the reduction of
nuclear threats and human rights. <br>
<br>
Please let me know if my office can be of assistance to you in the
future. If you are facing a challenge with a federal agency or are
planning a trip to our nation's capital and would like a tour, please
call my office or visit my website. In addition, if you would like to
stay informed on what is happening in Washington, DC and around the
13th District, please sign up to receive my e-newsletter by visiting <a
