Dear Hillary

Dear Hilary:

I can’t imagine  that  you are not aware of the overwhelming evidence that the death penalty is not in any way a deterrent to murder or any other crime. Your being in favor of the death penalty puts you out of sync with 61% or more of your fellow citizens, (a majority of that 61% is more than likely women) who would choose a punishment other than the death penalty for murder. 2010 poll by Lake Research Partners

However, my concern here is not with the data concerning the death penalty. It is about the feminine principle, the heart, compassion, and love. I do not want to belabor the obvious ancient, (eye for an eye) barbaric cruelty of the death penalty, but surely you can see that a State Execution is simply the  murder of a helpless individual. Such executions are more a matter of revenge, of “payback” than anything that approaches Justice.  Execution or calling it what it is, murder, is certainly not choice the heart would make, or a practice that the Feminine Principle would consider.

This position highlights your major problem with a very large sector of the voting population, including me. You consistently prove to us that you are a match for any man. As I pointed out earlier, we do not need a strong male president. We need a woman with a heart.

Your deep connections with the traditional male engendered and dominate power structures of the nation which utterly lack any kind of heart energy or understanding of the feminine Principle are truly a problem for you. This is clear to anyone who is thinking with the heart, and more and more of the people are doing so.

I think you can win a national election. And you do possess all of the skills the nation needs to navigate our way through the present maelstrom of retrogression. It will be sad indeed if those skills are not directed by an open heart.

I must say that I will not be voting for you in the California primary unless I see a demonstration of such a heart, and  you can begin by being in favor of Life rather than murder.

Lots of love and hope
