An Open Letter

To: Sen. King, Sen. Collins

From: A constituent in South Portland, ME

October 8

I am deeply upset about Trump’s deploying the National Guard in our cities. Deploying military forces to American cities absent a real emergency is a gross misuse of power. It undermines civilian control, weakens democracy, and places both communities and service members in harm’s way. The Guard is meant to serve neighbors in times of disaster, not to patrol streets for political theater. Why is Congress - dems, republicans and independents alike - not doing more to stop him?
