Senator Kerry:
I recently saw a portion of the debate on the Senate stimulus bill, in which you criticized tax cuts since they allow individuals freedom to invest anywhere they want, or not to invest at all. You believe that only government has the ability to make those decisions.
Based on this, it is evident that your faith in your own intelligence, compassion, and virtue as a government official exceeds your faith in mine as an individual. In this belief, you may be justified. But if you believe that your faith bestows upon you the right to compel my actions, then you have no faith in freedom.
When you reflect upon that fact that the state you represent contains the towns of Lexington and Concord, gave birth to John Adams and John Kennedy, and kindled the movements for slavery abolition and civil rights, you should be ashamed of your lack of faith in liberty.
Please reconsider your position.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
