Openly putting an (R) after my name, in June, had me fearful of losing some friends.

Ray - thanks for your considerate letter. Quddus will be surprised that I have sometimes had an R after my name too, as does my brother in law, the winner of the Purple Heart. He is still an R, and refers to our current President as "Corporal Bone-Spurs." Fair, because our current President has referred to him as a "Sucker" and a "Loser" for burning in that helicopter crash in Vietnam, and spending six months in a hospital in Japan.

You're right Ray, vote for the right person.
