I sent this to Chris Stewart after he openly criticized the America First 20 for being "egotistical."

Dear Rep. Stewart,

You claim it is "egotistical" to hold up the House Speaker vote. I believe it is egotistical to move into the Speaker office with the attitude that the vote is a mere nuisance formality.

"Unity" has become a code word for hiding your political processes from the light of day. The current turmoil, which so many of you abhor, bring sunlight and transparency. Citizens need to see and hear it, and I applaud the 20 who are bringing the problems with Kevin McCarthy to light. McCarthy does not put Americans First, he puts deals with the Democrats first. I don't care who has endorsed him.

I am a precinct chair. During the 2022 election season, I explained to the GOP voters in my precinct, sir, why they should vote for you. Your campaign sign was in my yard. I am disgusted by the positions of you and the other 3 Utah US representatives. Instead of attacking the 20 who are making us aware of the problems with McCarthy, you should be pledging to work constructively on the problems these 20 have raised.

If I were to do it again I would reword:

" I believe it is egotistical to move into the Speaker office with the attitude that the vote is a mere nuisance formality. What does your vote mean, actually? Is it a rubberstamp of some preordained selection?"
