Rep. Scott Tipton, please vote to restore net neutrality.

Equal access to all (both providers of content and users) is the backbone of the internet as we’ve known it since its inception. An overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens support the concept of net neutrality!

Your voters are watching, and, honestly, many of us are not impressed.

Voting to allow concealed weapons to cross state lines means that the state with the least restrictive gun laws will run roughshod over states with more stringent gun laws. Bad vote.

Voting against the BLM rule to curb methane emissions (when your district is dead center in the middle of the largest methane plume in the U.S.!) is another really bad vote! As was your vote to delay enforcement of ozone regulations.

The tax giveaway to the extremely wealthy and to corporate donors which exploded the U.S. deficit (which Republicans used to worry about, but only when it’s a Democratic administration apparently – blatantly hypocritical!). We voters noticed! That was another terrible vote, bigly.

Where is your infrastructure plan? Why have you been silent while the U.S. leadership role in the world has been extinguished by your party? Why are you silent about the slaughter of our students at their school desks? What have you done but acquiesce to the destruction of the health care system? Will you blame Obama or Clinton when the cost of health insurance premiums skyrocket as a result of your party’s actions?

Try thinking of your constituents once in a while – if only to confuse your opponents.
