After reading and actually hearing what Rep. Virginia Foxx said about Matthew Shephard’s death, I decided to email her because she was TOTALLY INCORRECT! Here’s what I wrote:
“Rep. Foxx,
Your dishonoring of Matthew Shepard’s death by LYING today on the House floor is un-excusable! Your facts were WRONG! Check the New York Times from 10/12/1998. I am ASHAMED that you represent part of the state in which I reside. You should publicly apologize for this mis-informed quote. You have enraged the gay community and for good reason. I hope you understand that.
Respectfully,
Jonathan Britton
A Disgusted North Carolinian”
I also tried to call but couldn’t leave a voicemail as her mailbox is full…
