But this is nothing new! Perry supports Dunbar’s agenda, which is the same as McLeroy’s, which is the same as the rest of the social conservative bloc on the SBOE. The Senate’s rejection of McLeroy had only symbolic value. To improve the SBOE, we need to start replacing some members, starting with Dunbar.

Fortunately, the demographics of SBOE10 are quite favorable. I should know, as I’m running for that seat. So are Judy Jennings and Rebecca Osborne. Learn more about us on our websites LorenzoSadun.com, RebeccaOsborne.com, and voteJudyJennings.com, and support — generously — the sensible candidate of your choice (preferably me).

My conclusion is the majority of letter-writers would support Ms. Dunbar.

At least the press understands her danger.

I do not agree fully with her religious beliefs. She should quit trying to use the authority of government to impose her religious beliefs on people who are not of the same persuasion. However, she has the constitutional right to believe whatever she wishes. Heck, if her rights to religious freedom were ever seriously and truly threatened, I might possibly consider hiring or renting someone to go to war for her in my place—just like the draft dodgers did during the Civil War.

Are you guys are laughing your butts off? I am.
