Maintain funding to counter domestic terrorism, lone wolves, radicalisation
To: Sen. Collins, Sen. King, Rep. Golden
From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME
January 2
I'm alarmed by the attitude of the incoming Trump administration to Law Enforcement.
What kind of message does it send to the nation when we hear that one of Trump's first intended acts is to pardon the January 6th insurrectionists? They put your lives and risk and put our democracy at risk. I hope you remember.
I am also alarmed by the rise in lone wolf terrorism and terrorists acts by radicalised persons including domestic right wing I f radicalisation.
The Soufan center has predicted that Trump will try to defund efforts against right wing extremism and perhaps domestic terrorism more generally. Trump may also seek to publicise and make examples of violent acts that appear to oppose the maga agenda.
Please prevent such defunding.
Do not allow the investigation and prosecution of domestic terrorism especially lone wolf acts and right wing radicalisation to be de-prioritised and de-funded.
Speak out against such measures and refuse to vote for them.
Please reply to let me know you will resist the politicisation of law enforcement, you will not allow dangerous partisan appointments like Kash Patel, and you will not condone the dismantling of the FBI and CIA.
