The logic of this letter escapes me.  Mr. Johnson freely chooses where and when to give money to candidates and causes.  There is no indication that he is being forced to do so or influenced to do so.  There is no thug in the room forcing him to sign checks a certain way.  It would seem that he is among the totally independent.  Not dependent on anybody.  It would seem that he is the true independent, not the other way round.
