I spent maybe 15 minutes sending e-mails to my Congressman, Dick Nugent, my Senators, Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson, as well as to Speaker Boehner, Eric Cantor and President Barack Obama. There were slightly different wordings depending on the recipient, but here's the message I sent all of them. I would encourage all of you to spend just a few minutes to do the same.

Dear _________

I am absolutely enraged at the absolute absence of action or meaningful thinking or proposals by either the White House or the Congress with regard to the federal budget and actions to reduce spending and begin to seek a balanced budget.

Any dummy who can do arithmetic can see that significant cuts in defense spending, Social Security and Medicare will be needed in order to accomplish fiscal reform. There will probably be a need for significant tax increases, as well.

Are we hearing any meaningful proposals from those who ran and were elected espousing responsibility and conservative fiscal values? NO!

As a country we are headed for fiscal ruin and those we elected to govern seem only interested in their own re-election, fund-raising and partisan politics.

I'm telling you up front that if meaningful fiscal reform isn't accomplished by you and your colleagues in the Senate as well as in the House of Representatives during this Congress and the next, no Congressional incumbent or holder of federal office will get my vote for re-election in 2012. It's that simple!
