The blog post I was writing can wait.  Events of the past two weeks make it imperative that Americans who love our democratic republic contact their representatives in Congress to demand that they take action to stop President Trump and Elon Musk from destroying everything that makes the United States of America a great nation and leader of the free world.

It is easy to find a way on the internet to email or phone your congresspersons, both Democrats and Republicans.  A call to a local office is the best way to get your message across but an email will also help.  My representatives are all Democrats but I have contacted them in hopes they will fight harder to protect our democratic institutions.

You may change my suggested email if you prefer, but I believe a shorter communication is more effective and engaging in personal attacks and/or the use of strong profanity will be detrimental to your message.  Contacting Republican representatives is very important, even if they are strong Trump supporters.

The last paragraph of the following draft email must be altered depending on if your representative is a Democrat or a Republican. 

Dear Senator or Rep.

President Trump and Elon Musk are engaged in a coup of the U.S. Government and one of their main targets is the separation of powers.  They want to emasculate Congress and wrench the power of the purse from the U.S. House.  If they get their way, the Constitution will be abrogated and even if you survive the next election, your voice will be meaningless.

The ongoing purge of FBI agents, who were simply doing their job by investigating the criminals that attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, is not only illegal, it will create a serious national security weakness that could result in another 9/11-like attack.  Firing FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors that worked on those cases strikes at the heart of the rule of law and our precious system of justice.

These are but a few of the dozens of illegal and unconstitutional attacks on our democratic institutions by Trump and Musk.  When people die as a result, every member of Congress will be blamed.  And I am deeply upset and angry with what they are doing.

If rep. is a Democrat:

You and the Democrats must do something dramatic to stop this attack on our democratic republic or it will become a failing Trump, right-wing autocracy.  Demand that your leadership take strong action and fight, damn-it, fight!!

If rep. is a Republican:

You should join with the Democrats and do something dramatic to stop this attack on our democratic republic or it will become a failing Trump autocracy.  Obey your oath of office and fight for your constituents, damn-it, fight!!

Sincerely,

Please take the time to email or call your representatives ASAP.  Time is of the essence.  Trump and Musk are quickly hollowing out the government agencies that protect us.  And once they have completed this process, it will be too late to reverse it.
