Dear Congress,
You are truly a disappointment to those of us who elected you to
represent our interests. Your continued support of individuals who are using
the presidential office to progress their own personal agendas to the detriment
of the American people is offensive on many levels. With your silence, your
dismissive attitudes, or your grandiose partisan participation, you are committing
a litany of sins that you will not be able to come back from.
We are watching your actions closely. How you proceed forward
with a budget that harms the poor, the elderly, and the disenfranchised, will
not be taken lightly. How you reply to allegations of external involvement in
our judicial system will be critiqued. How you answer the blatant racism and
bigotry from your peers, and your response to issues that affect women and
children and those who you are supposed to be speaking for won’t be forgotten. If
you ignore the continued and habitual lies that our elected officials spew, we
will take note.
How you answer our calls and messages and if you show up to
our town meetings will be taken into consideration. Everything you do, or don’t
do, will be quantified and questioned and will be fodder for our decisions as
we go forward. Because elections will come again. And that comfortable seat you
currently occupy may no longer be a privilege you will continue to enjoy. Because
we will vote. Again. But we will not vote for you.
Sincerely,
Your Constituents
