I don’t follow politicians. I’m on record for regularly stating that no one should trust politicians even if they call themselves progressives. I’ve also been following your career since the middle of last year because I saw the Hinduphobia you were subjected to as a Samoan Hindu woman and how that reflected on the wider Hindu-American community, particularly Hindu youth.

I address this letter to you because I have a strange feeling that you might want to hear what I have to say.
