In the letter, he has urged the President to accept the results of the no-confidence motions in parliament, in accordance with the Sri Lankan constitution and the rule of law.

If no law in the country, no regulations... tomorrow this will be the same treatment for all of us from these governing bodies. Why just defending somebody who doesn't bother about u and ur country. Pretty shame on u.

Obsolete senator who is clueless of the political outfit trying to influence. It is like one of our cheap minister trying his influence in a foreign country.

Guys, According to "Wiki" he is only a junior democratic senator, who appears to be a poodle of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. More interestingly he was in SL as a young teenager when his dad was the ambassador and mum the CIA agent!! From the contents of the letter it appears his "long-time friendship" is for an agenda rather than genuine. President should reply, if he bothers, "Thank you ..but no thanks"
