This is a draft of my letter to our dear retiring senator. Any suggested improvements?

------------- Honorable Senator Exon,

Although in all likelyhood you will never read this memorandum, I wish to express my sincere regret at your retirement and thanks for your many years of ignoble service to our nation misrepresenting the wishes of your constituents.

You have served as a stallwart against change as did those who resisted the telephone, automobile, radio, television and computer (to name but a few) before you. You are a champion of politically correct thinking and behaviour, perhaps the most dangerous manifestation of an American trend to intolerence and obedience to social rules.

It is a shame we will not have your carcass to kick around in the halls of Congress come next term. All the luck you're due.
