Mudslinging

I was recently accused of have having a drug and alcohol abuse and addiction problem. I have never used tobacco, crack, cocaine, marijuana, etc. Nor do I drink wine, beer, tequila, margaritas etc.; even in civilized amounts. I feel betrayed and disrespected that I was accused of doing these things that I did not. I think that people should not be making these assumptions without having proof. If people don't like me politically then they should confront me about it politically rather than in deceitful ways behind my back. If you have a problem with me, perhaps in the future you can handle this in a more productive way than spreading these malicious rumors. Thank you for your time, and I hope these misunderstandings have been resolved. ~Bethany Hoff
