Secretary Clinton

Dear Secretary Clinton,

Let me begin by stating I have been a fan of yours. I believe that any politician who can say words like same-sex marriage is no big deal, women are not second class citizens, this nation must be fair to all immigrants, and black lives matter has integrity and a conscience. Secretary Clinton you have grown in your world view understanding that the war in Iraq was and is a terrible mistake and a Dick Cheney grab for power as well as a Dick Cheney grab for dollars. You were able to say you made a mistake supporting that war and I am very glad you are a big enough person to admit so. I also believe that often times the press enjoys picking and choosing the latest villain and too often times they have found you an easy target. But suddenly Secretary Clinton your inactions and silence or in some cases excuses have given me reason for pause in my cheers and compliments toward you.

I have always considered you a person who knows the long road ahead. I admired your skill in setting goals and understanding that to attain those goals you must plan, be precise, and rid yourself of any mistakes that might cause a detour. I do not understand why you who are surrounded by the best talking heads, political propagandists or operatives (choice of words and definition), and the Clinton machine actually thought using a private email service would not be singled out and severely ridiculed? I have considered you, Secretary Clinton, a wise person albeit a politician, who is too smart to let the dumb direct you? But here we are and whether or not you actually hid, or purposely omitted the facts your emails you are now being called into question and you accused of being dishonest and someone hard to believe. I want so much to believe you and have believed you, but Secretary Clinton you are responding to this email fiasco by using excuses, denial and silly, silly statements. What I expect from you Secretary Clinton is directness and honesty. 

You are much better then any of the T-Bagging Republican candidates but your responses to this whole email stupidity is to sound like all of them. Now I know you have six figure pompous people directing your campaign but none of them seem to understand what the common man or woman wants from you. Call a news conference, (God knows the idiots on the right have called news conferences to talk about you) and speak directly to the viewing public and say honestly why either you were stupid enough to use a private email server, naive enough (which you are not) to use the private server, and how you now realize that doing so may jeopardize your status in the presidential primaries. How refreshing it would be Secretary Clinton to watch a candidate not run away from the truth but address it, understanding that the consequences of telling the truth outweigh the innuendos, assumptions and lies of not being honest. I want to believe in you again Secretary Clinton, and only you can make that happen.
