In an effort to expand the viewpoint of this blog, I asked several friends to write their own open letters regarding the election. I recieved several entries, which will be posted below. I’m still working on my own letter about the election–I’m thinking of it as therapy. Once I clear my chest of all election bullshit, I’ll be back on my way to stupid funny. In the interim, please enjoy the following letters. Additionally, if you’d like to write one, please e-mail it to me at projectopenletter@gmail.com. I’m always up for submissions.
Without further ado:
Dear Husband,
Stop watching Fox News, its over, seriously I don’t want to hear your whimpering and whining, HELLO! We knew all along McCain didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. Turn off the TV, take the damn sticker off your car so we don’t look like one of those dumb people with Kerry stickers on our car 4 years later and get over it.
Your Loving Wife

Dear Crazy ex Church (and the co-worker who represents them),
Thanks for filling me with unnecessary fear for years. I am glad I found a church in adulthood that doesn’t look at every political event as the end of times. These were used to scare me into submission for far too long. I am thankful that I can look at this event with hope and not fear. Jesus doesn’t want us to know when he’s coming back and I am cool with just waiting and not predicting. I would appreciate it if you stopped making predictions about the upcoming presidency and just pray for our leaders to have wisdom and understanding after all he is our president. It would really help our country and Christians heal.
Thanks,
Annelle
PS. I think it’s really cocky to assume the anti-christ will automatically come from the USA.

Dear America,

Dear Bigoted Fucks in CA,
You can take Prop 8 and stick it up your ass. I might like more things in my ass than you do, but government isn’t one of them.
