My Mail From Mitt

I found the letter refreshing, an expression of patriotism without all the partisan bashing typical of most political mail.

On the 7-inch-by-10-inch reply there is a black-and-white photograph of the informally dressed Romneys walking hand in hand, smiling into the camera. I would have made the photo a 4-inch-by-6-inch or 5-inch-by-7-inch snapshot insert with a handwritten note from Mrs. Romney on the back to amp up the personal nature of the package. Maybe something about hoping to meet me out on the campaign trail and share a moment to speak with me in person … but until then, hoping the RNC can count on my support, reinforcing the ask.
