By Aaron Weatherford | 02/25/09

I would like to introduce you all to a piece written by my eldest sibling. It is a letter to no one and yet a letter to every one.  It is not a debate nor a bash on liberalism. It is my brother's way of speaking his mind in an intelligent and precise manner. I encourage you to share this as he wants his voice heard and it desperately needs to be heard.
