Yes... and I sent them BOTH nasty, "take nothing for granted" letters immediately after the election. 

I got a "no apologies here" letter today from "Bring-Home-the-Bacon" Shelby.  Early in the letter he wrote:

"It is important to note that earmarks make up less than 1 percent of our federal budget.  This funding will be spent, and I believe that elected officials, not unelected bureaucrats, should decide how to spend your hard earned dollars."

How arrogant of him to say that HE should decide how to spend our tax dollars!

It is my opinion that the one percent is a good start on decreasing the deficit.  It isn't money in the bank.  It is money borrowed from our children and grandchildren.  If I was deep in debt... beyond my means... I would not borrow another one percent.
