This letter is addressed to state Sen. Steven Heffernan regarding his “no” vote on the recently passed Senate Resolution 13. As two of your constituents, we would like you to explain why you think it is OK for masked, armed, unidentifiable men to sweep up legal residents and put them in jail? Our whole society is based on the Rule of Law, and the Constitution, to protect you and I, and all residents of this country. Please tell us why you don’t support the Rule of Law.
