A few years ago, I wrote letter after letter to Senator Boxer.  And, look you, I shared them.

Wow. Really. Wow. Pretty impressive this whole Rice activism you’ve been doing in the Senate. It’s really too bad that your names both lend themselves to puns. Some of the headlines have been pretty painful. And that “shrill” word. So sorry. Talk about misogynistic. When was the last time you hear a man referred to [...]

Well, I’ll be damned. You might not answer constituent letters but this is even better: Take Action: HOLD CONDOLEEZZA RICE ACCOUNTABLE!. Sure, I wrote my 36 letters asking that you do this to the President. But Rice, this opportunity, is an excellent one. I’m happy to have had the chance to vote for you. Thank [...]

And by “we” I mean progressive, liberal democrats. The people calling immigration offices and asking questions about Canada and New Zealand. We need to let it go. I [...]
