Jan 2012

My point is, there is no good reason to abridge his right for saying this, for trying to punish him for exercising his rights, even if he uses his rights to send hateful messages, and the people of Kansas have the right to vote him in or out, according to their own opinion. If they did not want him, they have the right to vote him out. Not everyone is a Liberal, a Progressive, not everyone agrees with you. If the people in Kansas agree with him, they have the right to keep him in office, if you disagree with him, then you are more than welcomed to do so. I disagree with him, but I do not think he should lose his job over spreading this e-mail, and I do not think he should be punished for exercising his liberty.
