Hello, just some quick feedback about the recent newsletter, and the call I just received this morning. In the newsletter, the quotes selected were from unknown, Associate Justices that have not had a remarkable effect on history. Perhaps there is someone out there doing a dissertation on any or all of those quoted, but generally, selecting a quote from the unknown is not one's best decision. Secondly, it is remarkable to me that the choices given on that survey call from Rep. Marchant were so colored that there was not even the opportunity to select, "Other" or "None of the Above", or be allowed to record my interest. This is especially poignant when he asked, "Which of the following 3 social issues is most important to you?" And the choices were: Pro-Life Issues, 1. Protection of Marriage Issues, 2. 2nd Amendment Issues, 3. Listen, it was an offense that a politician cannot even frame a question without expressing outrageous bias! Regarding 'Pro-Life Issues', I feel that women own the sovereignty of their bodies, and as such, know what is best regarding their pregnancies--in all cases, though such sovereignty may go in a gray area in cases of underage persons. Regarding 'Protection of Marriage Issues', it is a shameful thought to deny a sovereign person the right to love whomever they please, and this prejudice is underlying every single utterance of "protect marriage," shame on you! The real issue could be resolved if civil unions are granted, through the State, allowing for equal protection under the law. If you choose to believe it, such persons will NOT be protected by your conception of G*d's law, but in America, Church & State are, and should remain, separate. Make our laws accordingly, and leave the mortal justice to Your G*d. And lastly, I do believe the 2nd Amendment is a valuable part of our privilege & responsiblity as Americans, but if I'd selected #3, it would have been like writing you a blank check. The right to bear arms should never have handed our country over to gun manufacturers who sell the most sadistic weaponry ever conceived, for the purpose of killing people--such rampant disrespect for others as is repeatedly espoused by people of the Republican Party and the so-called Right, such as yourself, is what makes our country weak.
