Rep. Neugebauer (TX) on Syria and Texas Insurance Companies

Open Email to. Rep. Neugebauer (TX):

Dear Rep. Neugebauer,
    I have read your this week's Newsletter. Congratulations! We appear to be on the same team for a change.
    On Syria, you said you would vote against any military action. You don’t believe the President has given us any clear objectives for what military action should achieve, and you can’t commit our men and women in uniform to a foreign conflict without a clear mission or end in sight.
While you have the right answer now, your statement is a little weasel-worded in that it implies the President could convince you otherwise. May I remind you that war is not a sporting event to be engaged in merely because you don't like someone or how that someone might be performing his duties in a foreign country. You engage in war when someone is trying to kill you and then you try to kill them first. Neither the Syrian regime nor the Syrian rebels are trying to kill you or me, in which case it is not of our business what they do.
You said you would continue listening and gathering information on Syria. You don't need to do that. The war mongers will be screaming at you if and when there is a an imminent threat to US citizens.
    On Texas insurance companies, you want to expand opportunities for them to operate in other states. Good idea. I only wonder why they previously had the limitation of operating only in Texas. Seems to me that was restraint of trade. Well, better to correct the situation than to let it continue in its incorrect form.
