Very good letter Joseph Albrecht, I would add that there are some honest democrats, but there are enough corrupted ones to side with the Repuublicans. Bill. Clinton lied about sex and got impeached. Hillary Clinton is being investigated for Benghazi where 4 Americans died,but after the Republican Congress refused to fund requested security measures. George Bush and Dick Cheney lied to get us to invade Iraq who refused to give the oil companies any oil contracts,  where now they do. Trillions sent overseas, 5,000 dead Americans,  hundred of thousands of dead Iraqi's, and thousands of dead American owned mercenaries. Still no calls for investigations. Bush's family made millions, Cheney made millions, and no calls for investigations, on these 2 profiteers.
Brian Harten wrote a good letter too. Reminds off the times cities shut down kids lemonade stands because of no paperwork
