Enough if Enough!

To: Asm. Avila Farias, Gov. Newsom, Sen. Grayson

From: A constituent in Concord, CA

February 25

I am disgusted by the blatant corruption, inequality, and erosion of democracy in this country. I paid over $50,000 in federal taxes last year—why did Elon Musk pay none? Why do billionaires keep getting tax breaks while working Americans foot the bill? This system is rigged for the ultra-wealthy, not the people you were elected to serve. Meanwhile, white Christian nationalists brutally attacked Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl in Idaho, yet few in Congress have spoken out. Your silence is complicity. This extremism is not just growing—it is being enabled. Where is the leadership to stop it? Why is my personal information being shared with DOGE or any other entity without my consent? Who does this serve? Certainly not the American people. Privacy, democracy, and basic fairness are under attack, and Congress is doing nothing to stop it. I refuse to contribute to an economy that rewards greed and punishes fairness. I will only spend on essentials, removing my $15,000 raise from circulation. I will not support Amazon, Target, or any business undermining diversity, equity, and inclusion. My three children deserve a better future, and I will not be silenced like Dr. Borrenpohl. Women in this country are disgusted. We are watching. We are organizing. And we will rise. The only leaders I see truly fighting for democracy are Senator Chris Murphy, Governor Janet Mills, and Governor J.B. Pritzker. Where are the rest of you? I demand action. I demand accountability. I will vote accordingly.
