Open Letter to Senator Lisa Murkowski

Dear Senator Murkowski,

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Why do you think we have elections?

Last I looked, Senate seats aren't hereditary. The people have spoken--LISTEN TO THEM!!!

I hope you come in a distant third, with an embarrassingly low number of votes, like, maybe, you and your immediate family (with perhaps a couple of those voting for one of the other candidates).

Most sincerely,
ExRat
