Senator Hatch:

I will donate generously to the Republican Party when I see a serious commitment on the part of the party to deflate the federal government. You can start here:

1.I am a teacher, have taught for 46 years, but I want the department of education eliminated. It is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars.
2.I want to see the department of energy dissolved completely. They have done nothing but get in the way of our energy independence.
3.Get a commitment from all Republicans to be real servants of the people. Show us your willingness to sacrifice. Demonstrate that they are willing to cut their staffs by half and cut their benefit packages by half.
4.Vow that you will no longer allow FEMA or federal insurance to pay people to rebuild homes over and over again that are built in vulnerable places. I read the other day about a $69,000 home that had been rebuild 14 times since 1974 at a cost to the American tax payer of $685,000. And it happens over and over again. Are you guys STUPID?

And then you write me a letter on the part of the party and show me what else you are committed to doing to downsize Washington.

If what I see shows a real commitment to getting the federal government under control, I will send you a very generous donation.
