Here's a letter I emailed, faxed, and submitted via her website this morning.  I urge everyone to send their opinions to your own representation as soon as possible!!

----------------
Senator Mikulski,
Can you please explain to me why you voted for the healthcare bill?
First of all, did you READ it?  I doubt it; it was just released.  There is NO WAY you had time to find out what new taxes you have exposed us to, or what freedoms of choice you have taken away from us.
Second, if you (or the party) was so proud of this bill, WHY did you have to schedule a middle of the night vote on it?  What are you trying to hide?  What are you trying to force through before anyone has the time to read it?
WHY do you think it is worth MY TAX MONEY to subsidize the BRIBES of anyone who dares to vote against it?  BUYING THEIR VOTES?  If this thing can’t pass on it’s own, then it deserves to fail.  Instead, you effectively have endorsed PAYOFF BRIBES for Nebraska, Louisiana, Michigan, Connecticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Oregon, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Iowa.
You can’t even claim that you didn’t know about it, since you were quoted as saying "I know I'm not as important as Senator Nelson. I didn't get the money for my state. I was too stupid."  Now, I’m not calling you STUPID, those were YOUR words, but if I had any reason to agree, it would be because you STILL VOTED FOR THE BILL, even though you KNEW YOUR CONSTITUANTS were going to be stuck with the cost of all those bribes, let alone the HORRIBLE effects of the legislation.  Not taking the bribes was probably the ONLY thing ethical about ANY of this!
I do NOT intend for this letter to be rhetorical.  I WANT ANSWERS, and I WANT YOU TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS, and I want PROMISES that you will NOT VOTE FOR THIS AGAIN, or I promise you that I will do EVERYTHING I CAN to make sure you, and every other incumbent, Democratic or Republican, who voted for this bill.  I have already begun donating to political campaigns for candidates who oppose big government, and I have attended one rally;  Things that I’d rather not have to do, but you have awakened the giant which is the American People, and you will DEFINITELY BE HELD accountable.
If you would be so kind as to explain your actions, I can be reached any way you find convenient:
Respectfully, Steve Jones
