Ditched by my friend

I have looked forward to hearing from my good friend Tom Cotton on an almost-daily basis for many years now. I thought we had something special. Tom “personally” reached out to me on many occasions. He “humbly” asked me for donations so we could stop Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the “godless Democrats.” When there was a “major mid-month” fundraising deadline and we were short of money, I agonized right along with Tom.

I often shared some of the missives my friend’s campaign sent to me here on these pages. Sometime shortly after my last letter discussing some of my friend Tom’s campaign material, I apparently was removed from their email list. I hoped it was a glitch and might be restored, but alas, here we are months later, and no Tom for me.

So I hope that Tom is reading today. I’m feeling despair, Tom. You don’t write, you don’t call. I’m beside myself now because I’m wondering if maybe we weren’t as close of friends as I thought. I thought I was helping to spread the word, Tom; did I do something wrong?

I was part of “Team Cotton.” Tom, you told me personally that you were “humbled by the trust it signifies.” Now I don’t know what to think. Come back, Tom! I want to make myself worthy and leave you humbled again. Please, Tom, tell your staff to put me back on your email list.
