As life-long Democrats, we are writing this letter to call attention to the circumstances of a friend and neighbor who has endured with considerable grace multiple episodes of harassment and petty vandalism in our community, solely because she is a supporter of Donald Trump. We believe that the founding fathers of our nation envisioned a society where minority views were protected against “the tyranny of the majority.” We also believe that while our nation as a whole has yet to fully realize that lofty goal, communities like ours can be leaders in that effort.
We envision a Port Townsend where all voices are welcomed respectfully, and listening and civil discourse take priority over bullying and self-righteous monologues.
May it be so.
Tom Chambers and Dorothy Hollenbeck
Port Townsend
