In the Arizona Republic, 12/4/09:

I had considered a personal letter to Gov. Jan Brewer on her apparent support of payday-loan legislation but have chosen an open letter as, hopefully, more effective.

Gov. Brewer, last year, 1.2 million Arizonans said “no” to payday loans beyond sunset expiration in July 2010.

If you choose to support legislation that would continue such loans beyond next July, my firm belief is that the voters will say “no” to any re-election bid you may choose to make.

In my view, this single issue will dictate your political future – simple as that.
