It is, frankly, appalling; especially when I read that you and your staff proclaim publicly that you work with the \u2018gay &amp; lesbian\u2019 community. And, even boast about having hired them on the DNC staff. I have nothing against the homosexual community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would, strongly, suggest that you consider our community. We, successfully, lobbied the OMB. And, now that we are being officially counted, 6.8 million households strong, we intend on letting our voices be heard and our votes be counted, in a huge way. And, to be a vibrant and well-connected part of American Democracy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very truly yours,<br>Valerie A.
