I am writing you today as a constituent who wants to protect the reputation of our country and the Constitution of our country. I want to share with you Timothy Snyder's (the Richard C. Levin Professor of History and Global Affairs at Yale University) words about the impact of Matt Gaetz's nomination to the position of ATTORNEY GENERAL of the United States on the RULE OF LAW in our country. "A modern democratic state depends upon the rule of law. Before anything else is possible, we have to endorse the principle that we are all governed by law, and that our institutions are grounded in law. This enables a functional government of a specific sort, in which leaders can be regularly replaced by elections. It allows us to live as free individuals, within a set of rules that we can alter together. The rule of law depends on people who believe in the spirit of law. Matt Gaetz, the proposed attorney general, is the opposite of such a person. It is not just that he flouts law himself, spectacularly and disgustingly. It is that he embodies lawlessness, and can be counted upon to abuse law to pursue Trump's political opponents. The end of the rule of law is an essential component of a regime change." If you still stand by your OATH to support our Constitution, please DEMAND Advise and Consent for this nomination and VOTE AGAINST Gaetz as Attorney General. Thank you for your attention.
