Let us begin in clarity

Finding a genuine-feeling register in which to address one's fellow citizens is one of the great challenges facing the good-willed congressional candidate.  When I first encounter a heretofore-stranger in the political arena, I extend the hand of friendship--and to no one moreso than to my Republican friends:  You are the heirs to one of America's noblest historical legacies.  I pray during the present campaign not one of you will perceive any of my statements unmindful of your movement's underlying honorable core.

Very best wishes,
