Representative Gordon,
I do not believe I am a crackpot or alarmist. I am an educator in your district. Please do not follow the destructive path that those cowardly greedy senators have set for America. Oppose the immigration bill passed today out of that formally great body in Washington.
Your Tennesseans and America demand that you step up and become a visual and vocal opponent of this destructive anti-American legislation.
Please use the platform and forum that your supporters presented to you during the last election. This issue is not racial, not a matter of verbal semantics, not a republican or democrat party issue. This is about the America you love and want to represent. The cost of this senate legislation is not just a monetary calculation. The true cost is the loss of America.
Please deviate from the politically safe course you have taken. I'm not asking that you forget the issues that you campaigned on, but to grasp the most important issue of your career.
You have the opportunities and access to the press, to fellow representatives, and to the public (the voters that placed you in Washington). Become vocal! Become a political activitist from inside the House. Do not limit yourself to ineffectual mailings and photo-opt smiles. Be the voice of the Tennesseans that count on you to represent them.
Please Mr. Gordon do what is right for your people. Perhaps there is a political price in becoming an American Hero. Has there ever been an American Hero that did not pay a price, but emerged as a hero?
Please help America and Tennessee.
Thank you.
David A. Bess
