Dear Rep. Pelosi,

I have been very disturbed by two items in the news which I would like you to address to us, your direct constituents.

To wit:

1) Is it true that you are considering sending the president a no-strings-attached war budget that gives him everything and holds him to nothing?

If so, will you please do us all a favor in the future and not pretend that you will stand by your beliefs and your mandate?

At least just tell us up front that you intend to give the president everything he asks for without so much as a fight.

Not that any of us believe anything else at this point, but it's just hurtful and humiliating when you insult us by pretending otherwise.

2) Were you briefed on illegal torture in 2003? We need to know what you knew and when you knew it.
