[00:04.40]Dear Mr President
[00:09.24]I address you today in an open
[00:10.89]Letter in the Washington post
[00:14.97]For seven years I have served you
[00:17.86]With the most humble affection
[00:20.37]And unshadowed devotion
[00:23.79]So it is no small sacrifice for
[00:26.31]Me now to sever our political relationship
[00:33.21]But I think it is high time that
[00:36.42]Men of this generation
[00:39.88]At some cost to ourselves
[00:42.43]Stood up in support of the women
[00:45.55]Of the country
[00:49.22]For if men had been peacefully
[00:51.50]Demanding our right to vote
[00:53.79]For over half a century
[00:56.78]If men had been repeatedly
[00:58.78]Ignored or met with evasion by
[01:01.91]Congress as have the women
[01:04.47]You Mr President as a lover of liberty
[01:08.22]Would be the first to understand
[01:10.86]And forgive their natural impatience
[01:15.99]And righteous indignation I took
[01:21.21]A vow to defend the Constitution
[01:25.73]And I may not be a great man but
[01:29.35]I am a man who upholds his vows
[01:34.72]So I hereby resign to take effect
[01:40.19]At once or at your earliest convenience
[01:45.83]I'd also like to make known
[01:48.57]My esteem for the woman
[01:52.78]For the women who opened
[01:56.43]My eyes to this inequality
[02:01.62]Respectfully yours
[02:07.21]Deadly Malone
