US Senate Election?!?!

I sent the following letter to Smitty Pignatelli (our MA state representative) and Ben Downing (our MA state senator):

Dear Mr. [Pignatelli][Downing]:
Changing the law on electing a U.S. senator would constitute politics stripped of even a modicum of principle, and the most egregious example of hypocrisy I have seen in my lifetime.

Elected representatives must sometimes take principled positions regardless of politics or political gain. Now is one of those times. Come election time, citizens will not forget or forgive those who demonstrate that they have no regard for principles.

Sincerely,
Richard M. Allen
