Dear Dot Calm:

Rick Perry, the Republican governor of Texas, has been indicted by a grand jury for coercion and abuse of power.

We worry a lot about the elections the GOP is planning to win--and we should be worried about those. But let's take a second to remember what these Republicans are doing while in office. A second investigation is under way on Wisconsin's Scott Walker over illegal campaign coordination, in New Jersey, Chris Christie is still doing his best to make the Bridgegate scandal go away, and in Georgia, Nathan Deal spent millions in taxpayer money settling lawsuits with former employees of the state ethics commission.

You and I know what these guys do when they are given the chance to "govern"--we can only imagine what happens if we let more folks like them get elected.
