Dear
Congressman,
Re:
Eritrea? Really?
You do
come up with some odd ideas. I read just now, in Newsweek, that you introduced
an amendment to the US Department of Defense budget calling for the US to
“re-establish military ties with Eritrea, an international pariah that has been
accused of sponsoring Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Somalia.”
The
amendment was rejected by your colleagues, of course, but it seems you are
intent on “not giving up the cause.” You plan, it seems, “to pursue it as a
future amendment or standalone bill.”
I’m wondering
why you choose these strangest of friends—Vladimir Putin’s Russia? And now
Eritrea, “a mutant copy of North Korea”? A notorious human rights abuser and
purchaser of military equipment from Kim Jong-Un? And you, an Orange County
right-wing conservative? A self-proclaimed patriot?
I wonder,
do you share this kind of information openly with your constituents? Or do they
have to ferret it out from other news sources, as I did this morning? I think
you’ll find most voters disagree both with your choice of friends, and with
your abuse of your/our congressional time with such wild-eyed absurdities. They
deserve to be kept informed.
Not so
respectfully today, I fear,
Peter
Clothier, Ph.D.
