I often write to my U.S. Congressman, the terrible Marlin Stutzman of Indiana. I want to record what I write to compare it to his response. Here is what I wrote today. I'll certainly keep folks updated. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov @sanders.senate.gov

I live in Indiana's 2nd congressional district, represented by Marlin Stutzman. He and his team sent an email survey regarding the government shutdown and what voters in Indiana want. The screenshot below shows the options given in the survey.

This is a piece about VA counseling in open air cubicles and other spaces, clearly violating ethical and legal standards. But it speaks to a broader issue within civil service.

If there are any lawyers that advocate for veterans and/or mental health out there, is there anything you can do?

The waffling and on-again-off-again policies, ideas, and concepts of ideas are brazen maneuvers designed for buying low and selling high. It's clearly unethical and we all just let it happen. The rich get richer, the poor stay poor. And the fabric of our entire country has become threadbare.

Recently, my partner and I sent out letters to the Democrats, some of whom I've tagged here. We are pleading for something to be done to stop the country and society from unraveling.

Here is a response I received from Jim Banks, regarding a message I left for him. There's so much outright bullshit. There are 3 lies, in succession, concerning the border, the economy, and helping veterans. None of this has been accomplished and two of the three have taken several steps backwards.

Consolidation of power is nearly at hand.

I just called each of my 3 representatives in Congress and it took no time at all. There's even a script for you to read from to make your point a little more clear.

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it.

Elon and his loyalist army have locked career civil servants out of crucial databases. With no oversight, they are running rampant through this system collecting data, like home addresses, social security numbers, income and tax information.

This is terrorism, plain. And it's being carried out by maga lawmakers.

The Office of Personnel Management is under a hostile takeover. All federal employees are at risk.

Representative Andy Ogles, Republican of Tennessee, has filed a resolution to amend the constitutional term limit for presidents from two terms to three, though only if a president’s first two terms were non-consecutive.

Although this just says "template," this is the actual email federal employees received concerning DEIA practices and programs within their departments. If they don't rat out their colleagues, they will face "adverse consequences." Sounds a lot like another regime.
