Dear Governor Baker

Dear Governor Baker,

I called your office at around 10:06 am on Wednesday, November 18 to leave a message for you. When I asked the young woman to read my first sentence back to me, I was cut off. This leaves me with no choice but to publicly make my statement in the hopes that it somehow gets to you.

My statement:

Your position to refuse Syrian refugees is nothing but shameful pandering to small minded people. It reinforces the stereotype that the Republican party is racist at its core. I ask that you reconsider your position and publicly "evolve" on this issue in a manner consistent with basic human decency.

Thank you.
