I’m writing to my fellow Cecil Countians to tell you why I think we all ought to vote against Andy Harris for congressman.
You and I probably disagree about a lot of stuff. That’s fine—we’re Americans, that’s what we do. But I’ve had a home in Cecil County for most of my life, and I like living here for the same reason I bet you do: ‘cause I like being left alone. Republicans claim to be the party of leaving people alone, of individual rights and freedom—except I notice they also want to put you in jail for smoking a joint and tell you who you are and aren’t allowed to marry, and they say elections are fake whenever they don’t win them.
Andy Harris still thinks, like your square grandparents, that marijuana is a dangerous gateway drug that should be illegal. He also wants to ban same-sex marriage again. If you’ve spent the last couple decades living in the 21st century like I have, you’ve probably noticed that pot makes people a lot less crazy and dangerous than booze and that gay couples are just as boring as straight ones, and that neither issue ever affects your life in any way.
