Democracy is Disappearing

To: Rep. Cline, Sen. Warner, Sen. Kaine

From: A constituent in Salem, VA

October 3, 2025

I don't recognize my country anymore . . . More than 70 years living here but this administration is destroying it and our Constitution!! More than 55 years since I protested the Vietnam War, as was my right under the Constitution . . . More than 45 years since I protested the damage being caused to our environment by the fossil fuel industry and Three Mile Island as was my right under the Constitution . . . More than 35 years of public government legal service because I love the Constitution . . . And I'm not done by a long shot!! NO KINGS DAY October 18 will just be my latest protest because I love the Constitution . . . What has happened this week from the invasion of a Chicago apartment complex to the illegal, deadly and immoral military action in the Caribbean, and to the make-up'd hairspray mansplaining of Hegseth and Trump to military flag officers who are 2000% (to use Trump's math) more patriotic than them has shaken me to my core!! The redlines are stacking up. Congress must exercise its co-equal powers and stop this insanity. NOW! NOW!! NOW!!! Got it? If not, plan on being voted out because otherwise you aren't serving We the People or earning your government pay and benefits.
