Dear
Congressman,
You may be surprised to hear from me. It has been
some time since I last wrote. Having written over 250 letters to you since the
Trump inauguration in 2017, and having received not one single response, even
as a matter of courtesy, I concluded that it was time for me to take a
different tack and turn instead to support for a Democratic candidate. I trust
that he will survive the jungle primary and go on to take your seat in Congress
later this year.
I am writing now because I am deeply alarmed by the
behavior of the man who occupies the Oval Office. As is now evident to anyone
who is not willfully blind to reality, the most powerful position in the world
is held by a man who is bent on remaking this country in his own image—a man
who has shown himself before all the world to be intemperate, small-minded,
vindictive, self-interested, lacking in human compassion, easily corrupted,
incompetent, and in every way unfit for the office that he holds. His petty
personal likes and dislikes dominate world affairs. He acts on the world stage
like a spoiled child in a temper tantrum. His public behavior is crass and
unmannerly. His only skill is in creating chaos everywhere around him.
To continue to support this man and enable his
irrational and dangerous actions is to betray the interests of this country, its people, every other nation, and the very planet we live on. We are at a moment of extreme and imminent danger, subject only to the whims of a petulant child. It is past time for those who hold positions of power and authority,
like yourself, to stop simply hoping for the best and instead to acknowledge loudly,
boldly, and without prevarication that we have collectively made a grave
mistake. It is time for us to release ourselves from the pervasive, devious and malevolent power of
this sociopathic pretender to the office of the president.
Speak out! Tell the truth! As you constituent, I demand
it.
