I was saddened to read in The Tribune about the bill (HB88) proposed by Rep. Trevor Lee from Layton to strip public services from undocumented people, including vaccines, homeless services, nutrition assistance and communicable disease treatment. I sent him an email, only one sentence, quoting Luke 6:31 from the Bible: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
As a citizen in Utah and registered Republican, I was quite taken aback to receive his angry, threatening reply: “What’s your address? I’ll start sending everyone to your house. And if you say no, you’re not Christlike.”
In all my years communicating with our senators, my representatives, and our governor I have never been so rudely treated.
