Ladies and Gentlemen:
It appears that my Inaugural Pamphlet, poor as it may have been, has solicited some small measure of Enthusiasm on the part of its few readers and has, indeed, inspired one of them to put pen to paper. As a result, I am in receipt of a letter from one Sal Magundi who, on the occasion of the President’s cabinet selection, found it proper and fitting to communicate with me, your own Humble Author, his questions and observations.
Although I look forward to sharing my own thoughts with you very soon, I believe it will provide some opportunity for healthy discussion to offer Mr. Magundi’s letter for public consideration.
I sincerely hope it as its intended consequences. Read on.
Sincerely,
Humble Author.
Dear Humble,
I was told by the news people on TV that the Republican Party is too old, too white, and too male. They also told me that they are all too rich to connect with me. Then the other day they told me that there were no women in the President’s Cabinet, and no African Americans from the Democrat Party in the Senate.
I think that they might be confused. Do you know any of the people who do the news on TV? They say Republican but I think they mean Democrat. If you do know them, could you share the list I made below? I think it might help them understand.
Confused,
-Sal Magundi.
