I don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re a Republican or a Democrat. <\/p>\n<p>Unless you go back to work, I will vote against you in all future primaries and general elections.  I will never donate another dime to your campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care what your party leadership says.  I don&#8217;t care who is holding the gavel. <\/p>\n<p>You must go to work and vote to resume the people&#8217;s business.  If you have to sit there all by yourself, waiting, do that. <\/p>\n<p>Prove once and for all that your loyalties are with your constituents, not with the clowns of Albany.<\/p>\n<p>Politicians like to believe that voters have short memories.  But if you remain complicit in this shameful soap opera, I&#8217;m one voter who will remember.<\/p>\n<p>I will be going to work on Wednesday morning to earn my paycheck.  If you don&#8217;t do the same, I&#8217;ll do my best to make sure that you&#8217;re fired.<\/p>\n<p>You have years of work ahead restoring our trust and your own dignity.  That effort must begin tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>XXXXXX.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>-From Brian in Westport<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a form letter that I encourage you to copy, share, sign, and then send [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
