Open letter to the Republican Party

Please distance yourselves from those who would demonize a portion of our population, no matter what that portion is. Please distance yourselves from the idea that when a woman is pregnant that the fetus has more rights than the mother. Please distance yourselves from the idea that "One nation under God" means the Christian/Jewish/Muslim god.

Please embrace the fact that people of all sexual orientations should have the same legal protections. Please embrace the idea that women deserve equal pay for equal work and that staying home to care for a young child by yourself IS work. Please embrace the idea that we should be in-sourcing instead of out-sourcing things like call centers and manufacturing. Please embrace the idea that we should be spending money on our own infrastructure instead building infrastructure in other countries because we have attacked them. And finally PLEASE stop being the party of the rich and return to true conservatism in the vein of Eisenhower instead of the Randian policies started under Ronald Reagan.
