Dear Mr. President,
I truly have believed in you over the past years. In fact, I’ve believed in you so much that I went what I consider above and beyond the call of duty during your campaigns. I traveled out of state, away from my family, to make sure that I campaigned as much as I could. I stood in rain and cold to pass out "Support the President" stickers at ballgames. I’ve sent many, many emails rallying support. I’ve put up an untold number of yard signs. I’ve taken ridicule from family and some so called friends for backing you up over the years. Spent my own money on postage and campaign buttons in support of you. There are still very many things I agree with you on. But Mr. President, you’ve hurt me, the party and our nation with your stance on immmigration. I’ve tried desperately to understand your thinking and I simply cannot make my mind think in the direction your thoughts are going. I’m concerned. I’m terrified that your stance will not only cause problems now, but in years to come. You’ve always been one who has looked to the past and seen the mistakes and learned from them. Can you not see the mistakes of our beloved President Reagan on this issue? Instead of trying to make us understand your stance, you’ve ridiculed those of us in the party who disagree with you. Why Mr. President? Help us understand or please, by all means, let us help you understand.
Sincerely,
Kelley Smith-Limestone Co. Alabama
