Re: A week ago today:

me mistaken for someone else. I've never met you, nor supported you.
But I will tell you as you slip into your new US Senate robes, Senator
Jones, your actions will speak for you. You do not need to send me
these sorts of BS. Joe Biden may be a fine fellow, but as a defender
of the American Working Class, he has missed the mark more often than
he has hit it. I have a friend, too. He is a 43 year old blind man
with a family to worry about. He has a Masters degree from the
University of Washington and prior to becoming totally blind, had a
good job as a community college instructor. Lately our federal
government has turned on higher education...indeed, if Donald Trump is
any example our government has turned on all education, and between
shortage of funding for teacher positions and a lack of understanding
regarding the abilities of someone who happens to be blind, my
friend's prospects of work are slim and none. So many of our hard
won social services are being gobbled up by greed possessed
Billionaires. And our once great Democratic Party has crawled under
the back stairs to whimper that they are really trying.
Very trying!
Senator Jones, there are good Senators in congress just waiting for
leadership. Can you promise me that you will step up and take that
role before the Democratic Party dries up and blows away? The Working
Class needs strong leadership if America is going to truly care for
the needs of All its People.
Can you say without reservation that you will keep our backs?
