Subject: Best Response to a Draft Letter by a Congressman

When some anonymous congressmen sent around a draft letter addressed to Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) to see if they could get some co-signers to protest the immigration reform bill, a high school teacher decided to make it a teachable moment. Said teacher, now-Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.), unleashed his markup pen on the letter to grade the accuracy of the work. This write-up avoids most of the partisanship we see these days and goes straight for the fact-checking.

That...is truly amazing. It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on; exaggeration, hyperbole, accusations, and lack of evidence are never the keys to an effective argument. But, sadly, they do seem to be the keys to getting elected these days.

I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks |

I vote that every politician be required to pass a simple scantron test to be put on the ballot 
Maybe after having such a rotten experience they'll stop subjecting all the kids to it
