A Disgusted Citizen Addresses the Senate

Dear Source:

I would like to thank you four gentlemen for your vote to at least give Dr. Spampinato a try. True, no one knows what would have happened, but we do know now that the present system has to change. Her approved nomination would have at least broken up our educational logjam and got some different energy flowing, for good or bad, but at least we'd be moving…
I thank you for your efforts in your constituents' behalf.
On the other hand, to the 11 others: to our anything-but "representatives" in our supposedly democratic system, shame on you. I at least hope you weren't 'voting your conscience!' You certainly weren't voting what the majority of your constituents wanted. Perhaps you were following someone else's orders? A disgusted Judith Kane.
Judith Kane
St. John
