I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS

.....really, self? (Well I guess that sentence edited itself out lmao)

Jared Polis, I am contacting you as a concerned citizen and educator of the state of Colorado in regards to the recent action against refugees and immigrants. I would like to know what your stance is and if you plan to resist this damaging action to the integrity of our Nation. Nothing good can come from acting out of fear, as the new presidential office seems to have adopted as its modus operandi. I am concerned by the profiling and labeling, and where it will stop. It is unethical and, quite frankly, ignorant to shut ourselves off from the world when we are becoming a global community. Our history and the very beginnings of our nation is founded on the concept of open doors and a melting pot of cultures and beliefs. We are, or were, a safe haven for those fleeing persecution. And though we are guilty of our own transgressions in colonizing this land from its original inhabitants, I believed we might make ground in coming together as one people out of many, one nation out of many stories. TO close our doors on those that need us now, when we are a leading world power, is against the spirit of our country. President Trump promised to make our country great again. This is not great; it is cowardice and hypocritical to everything I believed we stood for. I would like to know how you plan on resisting this measure.
