Thanks for your reply, but frankly this appalls me! The senator is using a document written in the 18th century to guide government budgets in 2011? I am typing this email on an iPad, you refer me to a Facebook page, and guess what, there is no more slavery ... Our world has changed dramatically!
By the way, the constitution doesn't call for a two party system, and Jefferson had some pretty abhorrent morals. But let's not take the argument of how strong the federal government should be so far back in the past. Let us wake up and look at what will make or country most successful in the 21st century.
It is incredibly irresponsible for the senator to deliver such strong rhetoric calling for tax revenue reductions and enormous cuts in our federal spending without a single idea about what programs or spending the government should cut. Please discuss my disappointment with him.
Sincerely,
Brynja Kohler

Hi Brynja,
Our office is currently looking into all the agencies, programs, and organizations funded by the federal government. Senator Lee has not specifically compiled a list of wasteful areas at this time, but wants to first look at every aspect and analyze how changes would affect those involved. The guiding document in deciding what the federal government should and shouldn't be involved in is the United States Constitution. Please feel free to follow Senator Lee's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/senatormikelee and Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/SenMikeLee for information on the latest items he is working on.
Thanks again for writing and please don't hesitate to contact our office if we can be of assistance in the future.
Best,
Jonathan

What government programs and services does Senator Lee want to cut, eliminate, and/or defund? I want to better understand his priorities.
Thank you,
Brynja Kohler
