I sent this letter to my 70 some book buyers. It prompted four of them to request refunds. <\/p>\n

To 75 people I am deeply indebted to,<\/p>\n
You donated to my recent unsuccessful campaign for the Duluth School Board. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.<\/p>\n
I promised all of you a book that I am in the process of writing. I underestimated how much campaigning would pull me away from writing. Now my writing plans have changed. The book I planned to write was exclusively about my experience with education. That made sense to me as I was running for a school board seat again. But I will not be serving on the School Board now. Perhaps that was for the best, however, that leaves nothing to distract me from fretting about our President. I you hadn\u2019t deduced it, I\u2019m not a fan. At the present time 40% of the public has shrugged off the Constitutional separation of powers. <\/p>\n
This compels me to write about how the Republican Party ended up in its current state from my Grandfather\u2019s lifetime to mine. I was there to witness the change. <\/p>\n
I consider anything that you donated over the $15 for the book to have been meant to help elect me. But since I\u2019m reneging on the original book offer, I have a new proposal for you. If you want your money back I will gladly repay the $15 portion that was intended to buy original book. However, if you are willing to take whatever I write as a substitute for a book I will send that book to you instead when it is completed.<\/p>\n
If you are OK with a substitute book you need do nothing. I will send this new book to you when I get it published. If, however, you simply want a refund then return the smaller enclosed envelope to me with a note expressing your wish for a refund. I will mail you a check for both the book and the first class stamp you put on the envelope. I think that is $15.54
\nAgain, I thank you for your moral support during my campaign.<\/p>\nSincerely, Harry\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Three of the four folks who contributed and preferred getting their money back suggested that they supported Trump and didn’t want a book that took issue with him.<\/p>\n
I sent them all a genuine thank you for supporting my school board campaign along with a check for $15.55.00. The forever stamps were a cent more expensive than I remembered. I wonder if Trump University reimbursed any tuition?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
