Just read that the shooter of Charlie Kirk held "radical leftist" ideas because he supported someone who is trans-gender. I remember when supporting others was a not a radical idea it was simply human.

Dear Senator Tillis,
There was a large and vocal protest against the policies of the current administration. I am sure that your president was golfing so that he could ignore that people are growing increasingly unhappy with his policies. I am sure the lies about the left will be following tonight.

I appear to have better luck with Senator Tillis and received this response about the abduction by ICE of Columbia protestor Mahmoud Khalil.

Dear Senator Tillis,
As a member of the Senate Judiciary committee please demand a response about from your president about the deportation of Rasha Alawieh. Deportations against judges orders must stop. We are county with laws and even your party must acknowledge and obey them.

Dear Senator XX,
Your president does not seem to feel that the law applies to him This is evidenced by the illegal deportation of Venezuelan' s today that went against a direct court order. This is a blatantly illegal act that was met with "Oopsie... too late".

A democracy that cannot be criticized is no longer a democracy. Your president's speech to the Department of Justice and the expulsion of the South African ambassador are just the latest two examples of how your president is attempting to turn this into a single party totalitarian state.

Not to my Senator today, but to NY's:
Very disappointed by Schumer's decision to support the GOP's funding bill. Democrats need to fight fire with fire and this is the best leverage that they have. The Republicans tell them that the shutdown would be on them and they cave.

Recently, I have begun writing to my state's senators a few times a week to comment on our current governmental policies.
Mostly I have focused on Ukraine, but I want to also push in other areas. I am posting my messages here to both share my outrage and to get comments on improving the messages.
