A Letter to Our Congress
I have been appalled at the blatant disregard the Trump Administration has shown for this country and its laws, rules, and regulations. It is bad enough that he is appointing totally unqualified individuals to lead the nation's most important agencies, but he also is acting illegally in purging government officials whose only fault is carrying out the duties to which they were assigned.
It is unfortunate that 49% of America chose
this man to lead the nation. It is unfortunate that many people stayed home and
did not vote so that he could squeak into the Whitehouse. It is unfortunate
that many people did not understand the depth of his depravity or the span of
his ignorance. Nevertheless, it is left to the United States Congress to
deal with this situation. While many Republicans likely do not see eye-to-eye with me on many
social and political issues, I believe that some of you have the best interest of the
United States at heart. The fact that an unelected individual such as Elon Musk
has been given a free hand to destroy this nation's foundation must be as
disturbing to some Republicans as it is to me. The threat of what he will do with
information to which he is not entitled is unbelievable.
I know that this administration is formidable and that it is difficult for Republican legislators to buck the system. However, I beseech you, to gird yourself for this battle. Use your power to be a bulwark against the criminality of this administration.
As your constituents, we ask you to speak
truth to power. Trump has unleashed a water hose full of lies, deceit, and
malfeasance that, if left unchallenged, will destroy America. I ask that our elected representatives stand up to him. Vote against those nominees to lead
government agencies who are clearly unqualified. Stop Elon Musk from accessing
sensitive government data. Save our
democracy. Only Congress
can. Be bigger than the office you hold. Be an AMERICAN.

Unfortunately, many people knew exactly what would happen in this country as a result of this new administration. Their thinking was perhaps "that won't affect me!" But when someone tells you who they are, what they stand for and are willing to do, we only need to listen and know that they're not going to change...it's who they are!!! We can only hope and pray that are nation's most under-served and and disenfranchised souls are no worse for wear. Now is the perfect time to help others, help you help somebody else! There is a trickle down effect heading our way that is about to hit our economy like a ton of bricks. I pray we'll all be ready...
You are absolutely right. We are where we are. Now we need to figure out how to get this country back on track. I hope that people on both sides of the aisle understand the assignment. If not, we all fail. America will fail.
