Sample Letter
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed name change of Kelseyville. While I understand the desire to distance our town from the unfortunate history of some early settlers, changing the name is not the right solution.
The name Kelseyville has been a part of our community for generations, and many residents hold it dear. The name does not solely represent the actions of the past but embodies the values and beliefs of the present. Changing the name to Konocti would not only erase our town's history but also disregard the positive traits that make Kelseyville unique.
I urge you to discard the proposed name change.
We aim to work together to build a more inclusive and welcoming community rather than trying to erase our history.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
