Letter to the editor: GOP, remember what you represent

To Republican candidates targeted as having failed to convince:

Remember who you are … how much you have accomplished. Our culture has become so secular that there is a need to crush opponents who oppose popular thinking. 

The government’s role is to serve “We the People.” “We the People” have a right to exercise freedom of speech … stating understanding and solutions contrary to popular thinking.

Although the candidates failed to convince one person, to be insulted as having displayed a frightful range of ignorance, fear-mongering and conspiracy theories was a harsh statement.
