hcshannon:

Mitch McConnell (my senator) sent me a letter today, because I signed the #StopCombatingMe petition (which I totally forgot I did).

My mom opened it by mistake, she’s starting to suspicious about my online activity, because a human rights group also called for me today!

Anyway, I got an important business letter from a United States Senator! How many people can say that!

Better luck than I had.

Years and years ago, back when the parents had first decided to march on Washington in the Hear Their Silence rally, which was as offensive as it sounded… 

I sent a letter to my senator expressing my lack of support for the rally and explained why.  It was a short, one-paragraph letter but it made very clear where I stood.

I got a letter back from my senator saying “Thank you for supporting the Hear Their Silence rally,” blah blah blah.

I was so furious.
