Thank you.
I was very pleased to see that one Republican has the integrity to say "wrong is wrong". I was saddened to see that only one Republican has that integrity.
I'm sorry that you are already being, and will continue to be, attacked and insulted for standing for justice. I'm saddened that the people that rallied behind your candidacy in 2012 have now gone so far astray that they can no longer even see you as a member of the party.
Any political party that is loyal to a person instead of an ideology rooted in pluralism is a danger to this country.
Your vote, taken at an unpredictably high cost to yourself, will be remembered as a stand for justice, fairness, and democracy.
Stay strong. "Do what is right, let the consequence follow."
