This Miss Firecracker just had to do something...
here's my letter re: 09.09.09 Presidential Address

Dear Rep. Wilson,

I find myself moved to this immediate form of communication to voice the disappointment and embarrassment felt for you, fellow U.S. citizens , myself, and particularly YOUR constituents after your inappropriate outburst during President Obama's speech last night.

Obviously as exhibited by your conduct you feel the luxury and privilege of being a U.S. citizen and U.S. representative affords you the option of free speech - at anytime & manner. It made me wonder what would be next from you? Throwing your shoe?

Anyone who's taken a basic U.S. civics class or watches CSPAN knows that you are entitled to take the podium and speak ON record about any subject, so why did you seemingly choose to shout a rather anonymous single word heckle? Did you forget cameras are everywhere these days?
It makes me wonder about your character, and what you are capable of doing when there are NO cameras, when our country is simply trusting you to do the right thing...
We are watching Mr. Wilson,
so, I ask you out of respect for those of us who ARE citizens of the U.S., aspire to be citizens of this great country, to exhibit the pride and respect towards our country's president and the institution of the office of the U.S. President. Observing this basic level of decorum during public addresses is not only due, but expected of you while your hold the seat as one of our country’s elected officials.
I am looking forward to your redemption in our country’s eyes, not from your apologetic statement issued, but from your future exhibitions of self control.
Sincerely,
Karin D. Turner
United States Citizen
