Letter: People who elected Rep. Klippert not set on demonizing people

The people who elected Brad Klippert are not, we believe, a constituency set on demonizing people.

Rather, this group of people is concerned that in meeting a small minority’s demands, commonsense safeguards within freedom are being upended, i.e. the demand that public restroom use be based on preference rather than anatomy, and demanding that a vendor — beyond selling a product — must also help prepare for a ritual with which they disagree.

Thank you, Rep. Klippert for addressing these issues.

Jim and Karen McLarnin, Richland
