Ben, I sent the following email to six US Senators today. Our representatives need to be reminded daily that Americans are not happy. I know that the MM will respond to Congress and let them feel the heat… and if MTN can get the journalistic talent to spread the word and fight the MAGA disinformation then all the better

Senator, have you completely forgotten your oath of office? Have you thoroughly abandoned the former core values of the Republican Party? What about basic American values that your parents taught you? Vladimir Putin is a cold blooded killer, a ruthless dictator that has been deemed a war criminal by world authorities and the one that started an unprovoked war with a sovereign democratic Ukraine three years ago. Our president recently called President Zelenskyy a dictator, accused him of starting the war and then compounded the fabrication by attempting to extort future mineral rights from Ukraine. Today the USA sided with RUSSIA & NORTH KOREA in a U.N. vote! What in the HELL is wrong with you and your REPUBLICAN colleagues? For every day of my 73 years I’ve been confident and secure in the belief that America was one of the good guys. Ever since TRUMP took office, I’m certain we are not. The current path will only lead to an evil outcome, injustice and certain failure. Your continued silence and inaction make you complicit in the subversion of this great nation. As a citizen I demand you speak out against this criminal reversal of our fundamental American values and the complete destruction of our once solid reputation. DONALD TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED.
Fabulous! I am 89 and regularly leave phone calls with similar comments, including to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer telling them to get a spine. Dems have totally failed us. Just let republicans roll over them with only harsh words. Few actions, yet Mitch McConnell knew how to obstruct, delay and fight. Even Tommy Tuberville stopped nominations almost a year.
Dems are too weak. They should have been prepared for this onslaught against democracy. They had Project 2025 almost 2 years, yet seemed totally unprepared. I say no more money to national Dems until they fight for us. Even my senators—Kaine and Warner. Are Dems complicit? Many voted for some of the horrible, unqualified Trump nominees. Why? Are they being paid off, too?
Jeffries said recently on X (Why don’t they all leave and go to Blue Sky?), “God is still on the throne.” If so, he ain’t here, bro! Jeffries is on the Dem House throne and not fighting hard enough.
Thank you! I'll be 77 tomorrow. Everyday I call or send a message. I am profoundly disappointed in Jeffries. I read he was irritated by all our calls, so I'm leaving more. We're not all religious and that consescending "God is still on the throne" makes me angry. He's weak.
Actually, we have 2. AOC and Crockett. Both of these women take no crap from anyone and have the brains and charisma to out smart all of these stupid Republicans, including Trump and Musk. Please Jeffries , let them start taking some of democratic ways to the public
Pelosi though ousted AOC for heading Oversight Committee and put in a 70 yr old white guy with cancer. Meanwhile, reports had come in that MANY Rump voters this time voted for AOC in the down ballet. AOC has far reach. Pelosi took her out of the game. We do not need a young Pelosi. We have that already in Jeffries and look at him. Not a spine or spark for this fight.
Please, let's not use derogatory language. We can get our points across without doing it, using a better choice of words. Plus it makes us look ignorant when we do communicate like that. We need to hang together decently to make this country work!
But, who is behind AI? Or does it have a mind of its own? Surely a human set it up to do this. I'm on the technically-challenged side, so excuse my ignorance of the subject. Thanks!
How is calling me, or anyone, a 'stupid asshole' helpful? Can we not get beyond this and simply share our opinions? Can we not do better? When we do this, we are mirrors of maga response to everything: name-calling. Does it make you feel good to do so? If so, I hope you find a way to better channel that energy. I am not your enemy. No one here is. On the contrary, most of us here want all good things for humanity. Best of everything to you. May you be kind. May we all just be even a little bit kinder.
That is what I have also told the democrats emailing for more money. They ask in the email, What are you doing today?. I replied with, Really? The better question is what are YOU doing today? From where I'm standing it looks like a lot of nothing!!! Until Democrats organize, give a status to their supporters, have a plan, and put it all into action to fight, don't ask me for another dime.
Great letter...i may have to use it as a template (using different wording) to write to our Senator the Ever-So-Concerned Susan Collins. She pretends to be a moderate but really she isn't--even her votes against the GOP are crafted to be cast only when there is no chance her vote would sway the GOP's preferred outcome.
Please do! I send to Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, Joni Ernst, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Tammy Duckworth, Adam Schiff & Mazie Hirono. I send to the Dems just to let them know what their colleagues are seeing. Trying for 7 days a week. Trying not to threaten but just shame them. Thanks and good luck
IMHO, taking the time NOW to open the eyes of those who are following blindly KRASNOFfelon4547 to SHOW them how disadvantaged THEY are to be following his "rules"...they ARE waking up, it's slow but, imho, this ball will roll faster as it starts down the hill...simple GRAVITY will do the work...but right now we all need to PUSH to get us to the top of the mount and over the summit.
Rusty, your letter is perfect. I have saved it, as I'm in a blue dot in the red state of Missouri. You can imagine how uncomfortable this place is these days. All I can do is try, and your words, so exact, will help me get there. Peace be with us all - again - someday.
You and me both! I’ve watched those town halls where actual Republican voters have had enough. Not sure why it took so long for them to see the truth but I’m sure willing to keep that ball rolling and keep the focus on our representatives supporting a full blown fascist interested only in himself.

Beautiful letter! I’ve saved it and I will pass it on to CA Republican Representatives!
me too!
Sent a copy with modifications to my GOP Senators
Same!! Thanks!
Reported!

I absolutely detest these spam-bot-human-actors!
DITTO!
me too!
Reported and blocked.
How do you report these?
Click on the three dots ... to the right.

Happy Birthday Rita! Yes, we have to keep up the fight (apparently those in charge don't know how to fight bullies!)
Thank you, Cathy! Didn't think I would be in this fight at my age but here we are, and I'm ready.
Seems like Bernie is the only one fighting!
Makes me wish that we had a (younger) Pelosi waiting in the wings. That lady knew strategy and how to fight and get in Trump's head.

Agreed 💯‼️ Have been telling my 27 year old daughter about them!
Fool Moron Idiot
My bet is on AOC!

If Pete-bot is not real, who or what is causing these disgusting comments???

Who the fuck are you ...Mr Rogers..?. Fuck you and kinder shit... You think that bullshit works with Trump people?
Agreed and yet even Dems bash her!

Beautifully written…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great sentiments--thanks for sharing--pretty much sums it up!

Respect to all.
What a wonderful letter! I hope that it will be effective. Thank you for writing it and for sharing it with us
I have copied this letter to send to Representatives in Michigan.
Rusty, your letter is perfect. I have saved it, as I'm in a blue dot in the red state of Missouri. You can imagine how uncomfortable this place is these days. All I can do is try, and your words, so exact, will help me get there. Peace be with us all - again - someday.
I'm not on social media (Facebook, Instagram, X), but I sure would love to see this letter go viral.
You and me both! I’ve watched those town halls where actual Republican voters have had enough. Not sure why it took so long for them to see the truth but I’m sure willing to keep that ball rolling and keep the focus on our representatives supporting a full blown fascist interested only in himself.
Very well written. Sending to my loser Missouri Republican Senators!
So far all of them fit that ‘loser’ mold… if we can just get a few to show just an ounce of courage I’m betting that most of the rest will follow.
Adapted and sent to my Republican representative.
Brilliante letter 👊
I like this I my copy and paste this
