Open advocacy to Dr. Will Boyd

Dear Dr. Boyd,

As you proceed in your campaign against Katie Britt to become United States Senator from Alabama, please allow me this open letter of advocacy to you for your consideration (which letter I will do in a piecemeal fashion).

First, I am an Independent who considers himself in the middle between two extremes that are in control of our politics and that sideline a substantial majority (including myself), which middle desires that the two sides talk to each other and reach compromises and agreements to try to solve the country's large problems. See https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2018/02/can-two-sides-talk.html.

Now that SCOTUS has pronounced an individual right to carry handgun outside home for self-defense, ideas are needed for how to fully accommodate that individual right & at same time achieve gun violence reduction. My idea for that is athttps://t.co/O5LmxgZFEK#alpolitics #alsen

One failure of political discussion & debate in the primary elections was how heath care was ignored. https://t.co/A5hkVBeEa6
