Governor Gavin Newsom

Sacramento, CA 95814

 

Dear Governor Newsom,

 

I am writing to express my relief and gratitude for the leadership you have shown on behalf of your fellow Californians as well as Democrats across the country for the past several weeks. The current political climate is driven by greed, injustice, deceit, and fear. You have demonstrated great courage, integrity, and clarity in your efforts to counteract this blight on our democracy. I hope you have your sights set on a presidential campaign in 2028.

 

To be brief, however, I would like to suggest that you consider tempering the humor you have employed to mock and even mimic our current president’s rhetoric and buffoonery. While your satire and mockery are clever and engaging (please don’t stop), the issues at stake are grave. As such, I believe they deserve to be presented with utmost dignity and sincerity. You do not have to stoop to the inferior standards of conduct employed by your Republican colleagues to make this point. A little parody goes a long way. This is serious stuff.

 

As an aside, speaking as a physician, if you have not already done so, I would suggest you have your vocal cords checked. You sound a bit hoarse which could be caused by a polyp, which is an easy fix. I’m concerned because America needs to hear what you have to say in a clear, loud voice.

 

Thank you for your attention. Again, you have my deepest respect and hopeful anticipation for our country’s future as a democracy.

 

Yours truly,
