A Letter to a Republican Woman

Below a letter I sent to Kathleen Parker, a Republican journalist.

APRIL 3, 2014

Dear Kathleen,  How can you a woman live with your present party? Once in the past, it was a solid party.  But now? A party that voted 47 times to cancel Obamacare!!! One of the most important laws passed in the last 60 years. Think of this. Millions of people, especially children with preconditions now covered. Think of the number of children who will suffer because of 9 billion cut from food stamps, let alone poor adults. Have you ever been poor?

I remember when my Mom wept because she had only ten cents in her purse. Think of the children when so many families lost unemployment compensation. Are you married? Do you have children? Can you imagine them suffering for lack of food and medical care. Let me be blunt. Your party leaders lack empathy, the capacity to see suffering of others. In the Senate, Caterpiller Co was challenged because they ship in effect two and a half billion  dollars in taxes we need here to Switzerland. How many other companies do this, in the billions? The democrat leading the committee pointed out that such monies would enormously help strengthen our education and also infrastructure, all people needs. Senator McCann instead responded: these companies are already paying top taxes. Your guy responds with number. Our guy with concern for human needs. How can you a woman stand being in such a party? 

Sincerely, John Giannini
