I can understand how there can be different viewpoints on the issues of the day, but there is so much of this letter that is distorted, one-sided, and factually untrue that there is no point in even trying to rebut what has been written. What is undeniable though is just how negative, mean spirited, and classless this letter is. I have respect for what used to be called "the loyal opposition", it's an important component of democracy, but I have no respect for petty letters of this kind nor the people who write them.
