A person writing a letter denying a core principle of his party is very much evidence that he can change. I believe he already has and saying he was a staunch republican was only to alert others like himself that you could not believe Fox news and republicans. Every republican that reads this will be saying one of our own is saying this, we need to think more and listen to republican talking points on Fox news less.
It is not often pointed out except for individuals what a financial lifesaver Obamacare is but it is also a structural improvement in the country as a whole. I will create new companies and new products and help many better participate in the democratic process as well. Thank President Obama.
But Obama will not be around forever and like the republicans prior to 2010, we must plan ahead and seize our opportunities if we are going to advance the strength of our party. It is very likely, that here in Ohio, the die is already cast by the monstrous Gerrymandering already accomplished by Republicans. So we probably already know there will be 12 Republicans and only 4 Democrats in the US House of Representative even though the vote will be likely 50/50. But we must work now to ensure this Gerrymandering beast is destroyed with an independent redistricting commission who institute competition in congressional districts.
Please go on moveon .org and pledge to work to kill Gerrymandering in Ohio. Doesn't the Democrat we elect in 2016 deserve a congress who will work with him or her. Pledge to stand with democracy .
