An Open Letter

To: Rep. Bynum, Sen. Wyden, Sen. Merkley

From: A verified voter in Portland, OR

February 6

It's time to say enough of letting this regime stomp all over our constitution, enough letting them deport lawful citizens, enough election tampering - we know that they have done these things. There's proof. You've got to say this isn't ok and shut this down finally. It's time to rally and protect citizens for real finally. There's a boot on the throat of this country during this fight for the people's inalienable rights under our constitution. Citizens are dying, others are being very seriously injured - a young man lost an eye from being shot point black with non-lethal rounds being fired in a way that's against their acceptable use for example. You can't just let them run wild. Because whatever this is? Is not fighting for your citizens, it's not protecting your country, it's not doing your jobs serving the people. Its platitudes and polite rhetoric, and letting us slide further and further into a hellscape that will take many years to recover from... with how much irreparable damage along the way? How many people are you willing to personally sacrifice for the sake of being polite? Fight! Stand up for the people who can't! Or you will personally be helping us slide fully into this obviously fascist dictatorship while those of us who can, do fight and risk our lives without the ability to ever make the change you can... and if you're ok with that, I hope you never get elected for anything else ever again and you accept the punishments that come along with propping up a dictator when that dictator finally falls. Please... please choose to be on the right side of history before it's too late instead.
