So I sent her the response below which enbodies my concerns that the "old guard" republicans will not be able to be bold enough to really effect the change we need....
I would encourage you to communicate to your congressmen/women in a simular manner. They have to hear it from us...we have to set our expectations so we will not be disappointed again!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you old time, traditional Republicans do not take BOLD action after this next election (rather than playing the safe game as you have in the past) you will not be given another chance to represent us. As you will see this time many old time traditional politicians will be defeated because they have gotten complacent and not acted with boldness to support the will of the American People. The American people are fed up with politicians both Republican and Democrat, but the Democrats' inexcusable performance over the past 21 months makes you as Republicans the best choice. But with Tea Party enthusiasm and the American People tuned into what is going on in Washington, don't expect a free lunch in the future just because you are Republican. Americans want drastically smaller government...drastically reduced spending...greater national security and defense...No Earmarks....a Department of Justice that is not corrupt and influenced by political considerations....the reestablishment of Constitutional Freedoms, Capitalism, and Free Trade.....Lower Taxes.....the Repeal of Obamacare and the move away from the Welfare State and the Socialism that Obama is trying to put into place.
Anything other than boldness will be seen as weakness....As a Republican Leader of long standing YOU need to take a bold position along with the rest of the leadership of the party. If you don't ....YOU WILL BE GONE when you come up for reelection.
Once again in a time where our deficits are out of control we CAN'T afford to be using taxpayer money to support Radio and TV.....!!! And if you can't see that easy opportunity then I worry how you will ever see the challenges that Social Security and Medicare funding will present.
I am a life long Republican, but I am concerned that you "fat cats" with years in Washington Politics will not be up to the bold actions that will be required after these midterms. Courtesy and Decorum need to be out the door....It's time to get Tough, Bold and get the People's work done!
Republicans have my vote again this time.....but if you screw it up, you will not have it the next time and there might be a national Tea Party political party!
Respectfully,
Steve Kendziera
Your Constituent

Dear Friend:
Thank you for contacting me regarding funding for public broadcasting. I welcome your thoughts and comments on this issue.
Public television and radio deliver important educational services for Americans of all ages and cultures, which is why I have supported funding in the past. However, every funding priority, including public radio and television, must be reviewed by Congress as we work to control federal spending. Increasing private support to preserve public broadcasting's quality programming is essential so the taxpayer's burden is not onerous. You may be sure I will keep your comments in mind as we endeavor to formulate a federal budget during this era of heightened security.
I appreciate hearing from you and hope you will not hesitate to keep in touch on any issue of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
United States Senator
