Rep. Dana
Rohrabacher,
101 Main
Street #380
Huntington
Beach, CA 92648
Dear
Congressman,
It has
been a while since you heard from me. As I mentioned in my last letter, I have been traveling—to New
York City and Washington DC—and celebrating the various holidays of the season
with family and friends. I have read, listened to, and watched less news. It
has been a good time.
I hope it
has been a good time for you, too, and your family. I bear you personally no
ill will, but my New Year’s resolution is to do everything in my power to
support the effort to unseat you this November. I make this resolve because I
believe that Republicans, and everything that Republicanism has come to mean,
have brought great harm to this country, and threaten greater harm if they
remain in power. In particular, the surrender of all their purported principles
in support of a “president” who daily shows himself to be not merely deranged,
but dangerous to a democratic republic, betrays a cynicism that I find indefensible.
This is,
by the way, my 204th letter to you since the Trump inauguration. Lacking
access to a printer, I will be unable to mail a hard copy as I usually do.
Instead, I will post it on my blog, The Rohrabacher Letters. I nursed an
apparently vain hope that I might receive something personal—even a Christmas
card!—in response to the plea in my 200th letter of December 15. But
no. Nothing but silence from your end. As your “president” might say: Sad!
With kind
thoughts for all of us for 2018,
Peter
Clothier, Ph.D.
