Grow a backbone and be a GOP leader

To: Rep. Feenstra

From: A verified voter in Ames, IA

April 24

Hi Randy, I've written you countless times over the years, and you never reply. Oh, wait, you once passively aggressively replied to let me know that I'd accidentally included you in a letter opposing a cabinet nominee. The only kind thing about that reply was that it informed me that you do, in fact, get my letters. You don't do town halls, you don't reply to letters. I've sent letters by post and through your contact us form on your website. I checkmark that I want a reply, I give you my phone number, email and address; you still don't have the decency to reply. How exactly are you accepting feedback from your constituents? It sure seems like you couldn't care less about what your voters have to say. I'm a registered Republican, and I don't relate to you at all. I voted for a representative of my district in Iowa, and a member of the GOP. Do you remember what the GOP stands for, or have you sold your sole to the billionaire MAGA Project 2025 agenda? It's extra frustrating to see our neighbor Don Bacon being right there, next door, doing the right thing. He's a true republican and you're just a coward. Lisa Murkowski AND Don Bacon have made it clear they're not actually alone, but everyone is afraid. I actually hope you're just a coward and not just evil. Your chance to change my mind about you is becoming less likely by the day. Take a look at polling, Americans want a president who doesn't defy court orders, who doesn't cut cancer and alzheimer research, and doesn't cut taxes for the millionaires. We're told that American debt is the #1 threat we face. How stupid do you think we are to try and justify tax cuts for the wealthiest when our deficit is so threatening? Give us some credit. Deporting hard-working immigrants (without due process) and revoking work visas, while ALSO complaining about labor shortages. Again, we aren't stupid. Your party actions are the opposite of fixing our problems. Declaring a non-existent war? Allowing tariffs to be instituted illegally without YOUR approval, while everyone is complaining about prices. Those tariffs have already been in place long enough that the effects are unavoidable. You can bail out farmers, but what are you going to do for the rest of us when the tariffs make small businesses close and families start losing their homes? You are completely out of touch and stoking the fire. You're just allowing things to get worse for your average voter. And come future elections the only party to blame is yours since you control everything, especially in Iowa. Anyway, this letter is pointless, you'll just ignore it again. But hopefully, the staff that gets this let's you know you've lost a republican voter. I hope you get primaried.
