I just emailed my entire address book with the following. Perhaps more should do the same.

Regardless of your political affiliation this is 40 minutes you need watch. I am sure this will make some of you angry but in that, perhaps, you can understand why many of us feel the anger and betrayal we do.

 

Everyone has a right to his or her opinion, at least for now.

 

This is not about Republicans or Democrats. It IS about honor, duty to country and personal character. We must have our legitimate political debates over policy and issues. That is the foundation our country was built upon. We cannot afford to shift our foundation to the shifting sands of political expedience and popular opinion polls.

 

In my twelve year service in the United States House of Representatives I can tell you there are plenty of ‘good’ guys and ‘bad’ guys in both political parties. The real work gets done by those of character, integrity, honesty to their word and loyalty to country from both political parties. That’s as it should be and must not change.
