Letter: Powerful words from Kinzinger

Posted

Dear editor,

Our former Congressional Rep. Adam Kinzinger spoke on the fourth night of the Democratic National Convention. I want to thank him for his words – they were powerful:

“Whatever policies we disagree on pale in comparison with those fundamental matters of principle, of decency, and of fidelity to this nation.”

“To my fellow conservatives: if you still pledge allegiance to those principles… I suspect you belong here, too.”

“How can a party claim to be patriotic – if it idolizes a man who tried to overthrow a free and fair election?”

Thank you Rep. Kinzinger for your integrity, your bravery and your patriotism!
