<p>It's about a somewhat "controversial" topic, but I don't think I handled it too offensively. It's 594 words, so I would appreciate advice on anything that could be trimmed down (speaking of that - will going over the limit to that extent hurt my chances?). </p>
<p>I would appreciate a quick response and will read yours if you want me to.</p>
<p>I’ll read and give feedback. However, you definitely DO need to cut it down.
I can’t promise anything with the cutting down bit (because that ultimately IS upto you), but I can tell you about anything that seems unnecessary. </p>
