6/Our safety officers (police, fire, EMS, coroners, and first responders) work long hours for little pay and run toward the dangers most of us run from, yet they are paid far less than their sacrifices are worth.

6/Our public school teachers are tasked with educating future generations, yet their paychecks don’t reflect the important role they play – this newest tax bill even takes away their ability to even write off personal expenses for classroom supplies.

7/Yet, our representative in Congress, Rob Wittman, does not wish to INVEST in those who give so much to all of us. There is no war on Christmas, Virginia, but there is a war that is being waged, and it is using apathy and ignorance.

8/Your representative in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, Rob Wittman, is more concerned about whether or not we say “Merry Christmas” than he is about your health, your pocketbook, or your future.

9/ He runs from those who try to talk to him. He hides behind closed doors and refuses to share his opinions on issues of substance.

10/In this great nation of ours, men like Rob Wittman go to Washington to represent us in Congress but don’t really pay much attention to the people who elect them.

11/Our representative in Congress speaks out saying he’s going to protect the “symbols and traditions of Christmas”, and misquotes the number of the House Resolution that he co-wrote.

12/Sadly, Virginia, Rep. Wittman confuses “Saving the symbols and traditions of Christmas” (H. Res 637) with a resolution (H. Res 647) which supports a bill to alter the way small businesses change hands (H.R. 477).
