An Open Letter to Republican Senators
Today, Trent Lott announced that he is stepping down from his expected post of Senate Majority leader, due to the flap over his perceived-to-be-racist comments at Sen. Strom Thurmond's birthday bash. Sen. Bill Frist is so far the only declared candidate to replace him.
I have a request to all those that will be voting for the new Majority leader soon. Pleaes, please, please, do not just vote for Frist just because he is a "close ally" of George W Bush. The one thing this administration, and this world, does not need is another Bush yes-man. What we could use is an independent thinker.
Note that I am not asking you not to vote for Frist. So far, I don't know anything about the man. I am merely asking that you think about what we as a country need from the Senate Majority Leader, and do the job you were elected to do: to help lead the country in the best interest of its citizens. So please, vote accordingly!
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Christine Wolak
