To: Rep. Golden, Sen. King, Sen. Collins

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

February 3

DOES LIFE MATTER? You are overseeing a regime of contempt for law and life. This Congress's vote for the big bad funding bill enabled that. More money for ICE than any other US law enforcement, than many nation's entire military spend. BUT nothing to fund ACA subsidies. RFK Jr wants the CDC not to publicise tuberculosis or bird flu statistics. The EPA has declared it will make decisions according to corporate profit not human health, and will drop some protections on drinking water. Measles has broken out in Dilley and we have heard nothing about strategies to protect detainees. And it has been reported that 1800 people who were detained at Alligator have vanished from records and cannot be traced. Those who love them do not know if they are dead or alive, do not know where they or their bodies are. I ask you to claw money back from the obscenely inflated billions allocated to ICE. Dismantle the current ICE. Do oversight and investigations to find out where the Alligator Alcatraz disappeared now are. Speak out publicly against the contempt for life shown in Trump/MAGA policies. PUBLICLY pledge to undertake repair, issue by issue. REIN IN ICE. IMPEACH RFK JR. LEGISLATE FOR CLEAN AIR AND WATER PROTECTION. DON'T PUT CORPORATE PROFITS before human health and thriving.
