Dear Amarillo Globe-Republican,

Thank you for the anonymous editorial in this morning's edition, "Frist gives fair warning Democrats should heed". Your tough talk was undoubtedly meant to be intimidating to Democrats, but within your argument lies the very reason Democratic Senators, who seem to have regrown their spines over the past several months, should keep up their work opposing Bush appointees. You state, "There's a critical principle at stake that has nothing to do with which party is obstructing. It's called the "will of the majority."" Indeed, it is the will of the majority at work here. You see, those Democratic Senators were elected by the majority in their home states, and I'm sure those voters expect them to do more than just rubber stamp everything the Republicans put in front of them.

Once again, thank you for helping to clarify this issue.

Love,
