Dear Senator Vitter:

On more than one occasion, I have sung your praises as a true friend of conservatism. I have even equated your often heroic efforts to those of Superman as you have stood on the floor of the United States Senate providing a conservative voice on bills too numerous to count.

I want to tell you that although my heart breaks for you and Wendy in light of your public admission of infidelity, my exalted opinion of you remains unchanged, and has not been deflated in the least.

I am especially thankful that you have handled the situation from a Biblical perspective. You have not tried to justify your actions, nor have you tried to diminish their effects.

Instead, you have called your actions what God calls them - sin. You have sought forgiveness first from God, then from your wife, then from others. Allow neither your adversaries nor those from within the Christian community to deny you the truth of I John 1:9 - “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

As you will soon discover, far too often, it is the “religious” who are quick to condemn, and it is likely those “religious” from whom you will receive the harshest criticism. Yet, there are multitudes of people who sit in our church pews every Sunday who are not only involved in moral sin, but are even addicted to pornography. No one, not even a conservative Christian U.S. Senator is immune. That is why the Bible tells us, “Be careful how you stand, lest you fall.”

My prayer is that through your example, scores of men and women trapped in moral sin, will realize that God will not throw them under the bus because of their failure. Just like you, if they are willing to admit their sin before a Holy God, they too can receive His forgiveness and mercy - and move on with their lives.

And for those who are haunted by sins of the past, my prayer is that these men and women can once and for all realize that they have have the power to tell the ghosts of past failures that because they are forgiven, they will be haunted no longer.

Yes, your private sin has been made public, and you cannot change that fact. My prayer for you and your family is that God would use this to not only strengthen your marriage, but to cause people from all walks of life to examine their own lives - and with God’s help - make things right.

In Hebrew, your name means, “Beloved”. Trust me, God still loves you.

And I still respect you, and am proud to call you my Senator.

Sincerely,

Evodna Springer

During yesterday’s U.S. Senate debate over the cloture motion on the zombie Amnesty Immigration Bill, Louisiana Senator David Vitter spoke poignantly about the Senate being out of touch with American citizens - these are the same citizens who made so many phone calls, emails and faxes to capitol hill opposing the Amnesty bill that the entire phone system crashed. Must see 1minute 47 second Video HERE.

Vitter is correct and not just on a national level. His adjectives describe perfectly the attitudes of Baton Rouge lawmakers, both Republican and Democrat.

It is arrogant and out of touch for Baton Rouge lawmakers to think that they know better than we how to spend OUR tax dollars.

By voting to bust the spending cap, Baton Rouge lawmakers arrogantly told us that the best use of OUR tax dollars was in support of every pork project in the state - as long as their own pork in their own districts was also approved.

It is arrogant and out of touch to think that they can buy our votes in the next election cycle with a few locally well placed contributions to everything from churches to civic groups - with a scattering of other projects thrown in for good measure.

It does not take a PhD in Economics to realize that their votes for busting the spending cap and spending every cent to which they had access, mortgages our future and set us up for future tax hikes.

Yesterday’s defeat of the Immigration Shamnesty Bill proved that when the people rise up against “arrogant, out of touch” career politicians - bad bills, and the politicians in Washington who support them CAN be defeated.

Louisiana citizens must understand that WE have the power at the voting booth this fall to tell Baton Rouge lawmakers from both sides of the aisles that WE are not stupid, and THEY can take their arrogant, out of touch attitudes straight down the marbled capitol steps - because come October, they’re fired.

Video HERE. Under intense pressure from the President of the United States, the Republican National Committee, nearly every Democrat in the U.S. Senate, and scores of special interest business groups, Louisiana Senator David Vitter has remained steadfast in his determination to see that the ‘Shamnesty’ Immigration Bill is defeated in Washington.

What is most impressive about Vitter’s role as champion of “We The People” is that from Day 1, he has sided with the overwhelming majority of Americans who want to see our borders secured, and who do not want to see {10% of the population of Mexico} millions of ILLEGAL aliens given amnesty.

Although Mary Landrieu’s cloture votes were the right votes, (thanks in large part to the relentless phone calls, emails, and faxes from her constituents) it seems that she was dragged kicking and screaming all the way to the correct vote.

David Vitter, by contrast, did not put his finger up in the air to see which way the wind was blowing before he took a stand. Vitter did not need thousands of phone calls, emails, and faxes to decide where he stood. Weeks ago, Vitter’s office was clear on where he stood -

1. NO AMNESTY
2. SECURE THE BORDER.

With regard to the amnesty bill, David Vitter came early and he’s staying late. His stand for the people, and against some of the most powerful forces in Washington are nothing short of heroic. See a video “Thank You” HERE
