Your country may well never recognize what you are doing here, but I do. The fact that our somnabulant countrymen have watched idly over the past six years as our Executive Branch has so flagrantly abused its powers is beyond my comprehension. Yet you fight on- and I can only hope that your fight is not in vain. (Both for the country my children will live in, and for the security we were promised some two hundred and forty years ago...)
May you sleep well at night secure in the knowledge that you have done your country proud, and that many of us are proud of you. Your country has abused your common sense and your wisdom with abandon and little or no remorse, yet you remain an eloquent and passionate defender of same. I only wish I were capable of such magnanimity and otherwise unworldy patience.
Safe Travels,
