My Open Letter to Jonathan Narcisse

Dear Jonathan:

I would have made this reply to the email you sent me but since everybody was hidden on that email except for the main recipient, Bob Vander Plaats, I will use this method instead because “reply all” was not an option.

I received your Open Letter to Bob Vander Plaats email with who know how many others as I gathered with family the night before Thanksgiving.  When your name came up to the sender and I saw Bob Vander Plaats as the recipient I thought I received it by mistake and perhaps I did, although I doubt it.

First of all, I have never given you my email address in any way, shape, or form.  I didn’t sign up on your website you are plugging nor have I signed up on anything that had to do with you.  There is no reason you should be sending me a direct email.  The only way I can think of that you got my address is from another email list.  I can only think of one time when both of our names was on the same email recipient list and I really hope this is not where you got it from.

Also, the subject line of the email was Open Letter to Bob Vander Plaats:  I Decline!  After reading your open letter I see that the “I decline” part came at the end when you told Bob that you would not be involved in his campaign or administration in any way.  While you have every right to express your doubts about Bob, your problems you have with his stances, and request a debate from him, do you really think this part added to your argument?  If you have ever gotten an email where someone replied something to the sender and then hit “reply all” and it had nothing to do with anyone else, you will know what I mean.  I don’t know how much more eloquently to put it except for “grow up.”

As I stated before, I have not problem with your right to express concerns but once again, I have no idea why I was on your email list.  I emailed you back requesting that you tell me but have heard no response.  I heard from another source that you went bat crazy in that meeting with Terry Branstad that was held awhile back.  I defended you.  I am now wondering if I was wrong to do that.  It seems in a mind of great ideas you are lacking the judgement on how to proceed.

P.S. Kent Sorenson DOES have my email address and I did not get attached on his open letter to Senator Grassley.  Take some pointers.
