Dear Editor:
As a Missouri citizen and voter, I have a right to correspond with elected officials and voice my opinion about actions they are taking. I recently wrote to Rep. Jay Houghton, urging him to oppose SB113 and HB131, legislation that overturns each core provision of Prop. B and strips away the vote of the people. Should I be offended and appalled to receive a response such as this from one of those elected representatives whose purported role is to serve the public interest?
"Ruth, I feel sorry for you and the way you have interpreted SB113... Also Prop. B failed in 125 of 163 districts, I know because I personally looked it up.
I wish that you and others like you would verify the propaganda you receive before you spread more misinformation. This is just a shame!
Best regards,
Jay"
I wonder if this state representative has studied SB113, compared it to current ACFA regulations and the language within Proposition B as I did?
It seems to me that the facts I submitted hit a nerve.
I wonder if this is truly the type of unprofessional representation the voters of House District 10 intended to elect? And I wonder where this representative found his information? My sources show that Proposition B passed in a majority of state House districts (88 of 163) as well as a majority of state Senate districts (18 of 34).
Fuzzy math? Misinformed representation? Apparently so. This representative would do well to follow his own advice and "verify the propaganda" before he spreads it, as I did.
