Constituent demanding Gov Cox change 'obscene' last name
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) has gone viral over his response to a constituent who demanded that he change his last name, which they called "obscene." The governor shared a letter from someone who identified themselves as "a very concerned citizen” who told Cox that “when people say your surname it sounds like the word c---.”
“Really grateful for the criticism and constructive feedback I get from constituents that demand I … change my name?” Cox tweeted late last week, including a facepalming emoji.
“I will not stand for it,” the person wrote, while threatening to protest until the governor changed his name. “Because of your reluctance to change your foul, dirty and obscene surname myself and thousands of other Utahns will be sitting in protest, not standing, until you change your heinous surname to something less offensive,” the person added. The constituent threatened to recall Cox if his name isn’t changed, stating this is “not a communist dictatorship.” The letter demanded a response, saying Utah does not “accept sick jokes to run rampant in our civil institutions.”
After some Twitter users speculated that the letter may be satire, Cox responded by saying his constituent affairs director “thinks it’s serious.”

My response would be, "then fork out the money I will need to change my birth certificate, all legal papers regarding Car, home, and other ownerships, Social Security and Medicare, Passport, etc. Do you have thousands of dollars lying around for me to do that? GOD gave me my name!"
It has to be trolling. "Your filthy surname!" 
Seriously, nobody is that deranged.
I think he should play along with it and write back to tell the man he has decided to change his name. To Dix.
