A woman claiming to be on the same flight as House Speaker Paul Ryan over the weekend took the opportunity to share with him her feelings about the direction of the country, particularly in light of Donald Trump’s controversial immigration ban.

So, she apparently passed Ryan — or, rather, one of his staffers — a note urging him to stand up and do what’s right, not only for his political party, but also for the entire country.

“I grew up in NJ in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty,” she wrote. “I was taught to be kind and to accept and welcome all people, no matter their origin.”

The letter was posted on Reddit and quickly went viral on the back of hundreds of comments, one of which read: “If we could all disagree with class like this note exhibits, we just might be able to find common ground and solve some of our differences.”
