Why I started this podcast, and why there’s a credibility gap between our leaders and me. 

SAMPLE LETTER


Dear________,


You, and your colleagues in Congress have lost credibility with me. 


Maybe you don’t realize it, but most Americans are scared. Republicans are scared of different stuff than Democrats, but the anxiety out here is crackling. And I don’t think you’re doing enough to help us. 


Have you read Project 2025? It clearly states what is happening, and is going to happen, to our government. The President said before the election that Americans would never have to vote again after 2024.  It may sound alarmist, but I believe him. There won’t be any midterm elections, I fear, so waiting for them is futile. Stick your neck out now!


I believe that risking one’s congressional seat to fight for one’s constituents is a part of that job. Please take extraordinary risks for us, and do it now. Stand up to your colleagues, to the White House, and the oligarchs. Help Congress keep and get back its power, and vehemently defend the judiciary every time it’s disparaged. Publicly encourage universities and law firms caving to Trump’s retaliation for perceived injustices, to risk standing up to him, and taking him to court. 


Quit waiting on the midterms. Help us now. Earn back your credibility with us. We’re depending on you! 


Sincerely,





CONTACT CONGRESS
