An Open Letter

To: Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Schumer

From: A verified voter in Amsterdam, NY

February 18

There is no compromise on standing against Republicans and their wicked agenda to strip people of the right to vote. You cannot bend, you cannot capitulate, you cannot decide a few Democrats need to save their seats and vote against the country. There is only one reason they want to impose restrictions on voting. One. Suppress the vote. If you allow the fascists any leeway they will continue to cement their power. You must stop with your misguided liberal nonsense; these people are not your friends. These people are not thinking about what is best for the United States of America. These are fascists. Each and every Republican is in the fascist party. If you do not protect access to voting, if you do not stand against the evil with unwavering courage, your liberal half measures will end democracy. I implore you to understand there is no bargaining left. Republicans have shown us who they are and only fools and cowards would try to negotiate with them. We already fought a war to secure the ideal that all men are created equal. Countless casualties secured this one truth; we did not qualify we did not capitulate. Equal. Those ignorant and cruel people who would defy equality were met with the collective force of righteousness. I am asking you today to set your resolve in stone. Do not vote for any voting reform. None. Set your eyes to the midterms. Should democracy prevail and Democrats secure a majority in the House and Senate it is your sworn duty to wield the power to crush authoritarianism. Impeach Trump. Impeach and prosecute his criminal underlings. Do not continue to be the feckless liberal losers who led to the rise of Donald Trump. Be bold. Crush the rich. Anger your donors. Make a new deal for the American people to secure the American dream for everyone. For now, though, the people need you to recognize there is no difference between "Republican" and "MAGA". No difference between "MAGA" and "Nazi". Stand against them because they will continue to destroy us all. No compromise. No surrender.
