As such they were the only Republicans with firsthand knowledge of the range of evidence against him. In their letter they announced their intention to vote for Gingrich and said they knew of "no reason now, nor do we foresee any in the normal course of events in the future, why Newt Gingrich would be ineligible to serve...

So twice a year, I shred a letter and mail it back to Captain Sullivan with a polite request to be taken off his mailing list.
