TEXT:
Hello, When last I sat down at my personal home computer I received an electronic message or "E-Mail" which requested that I, Mr. Saul, participate in an opinion poll regarding the performance of our duly elected government. Of course I declined to participate since, as you know, there is no need to question the good will of our chosen representatives. Since our electoral process ensures that candidates are the best people for the job and will always do the right thing for their constituents, doubt is unthinkable. My role as a citizen is to trust the fellow for whom I checked the name beside at the voting booth and to not question either him or democracy.
Thank you.
