I just wrote the following letter and sent it to all of my state legislators. For me that's Senator Kyrillos, Assemblywoman Handlin, and Assemblyman Thompson. They are all Republicans. Obviously I know they themselves won't be reading this, but I can't help but wonder if a Republican would find my love of country refreshing or think my "lofty ideals" theme is intellectually elitist Read More...
