Operation Epic Fury: Cease This Reckless War and Stop the Distraction

I am writing to you today not just as a constituent, but as a terrified American citizen. My family is scared to death, and you—my representative—are standing by while this country "casually stumbles" into the opening salvos of World War III. Operation Epic Fury is not a "surgical" operation; it is a catastrophic escalation that has already cost American lives and sent our economy into a tailspin. In a matter of days, gas prices have skyrocketed, and the national average is surging toward multi-year highs. This isn't just "market volatility"—it is a direct consequence of a reckless, unprovoked offensive that has choked the Strait of Hormuz and threatened the stability of the entire globe. Let’s be brutally honest about the timing: This administration is beating the drums of war to drown out the sound of the Department of Justice’s latest Epstein file releases. It is transparent, it is cynical, and it is a betrayal of the American people to use our sons and daughters as a human shield against personal scandal and uncorroborated—yet devastating—allegations of abuse. We are being asked to sacrifice our safety, our financial security, and the peace of the world so that the President can pivot the news cycle away from his own history. I demand that you: - Immediately call for an end to Operation Epic Fury and exercise your Congressional oversight to halt further unbudgeted military spending. - Launch a full investigation into the timing of these strikes relative to the DOJ’s withholding and subsequent release of the Trump-Epstein documents. - Address the energy crisis by prioritizing de-escalation rather than "risk insurance" for shippers that only treats the symptoms of a war you are allowing to happen. Your silence is complicity. If you cannot find the courage to stand against this march toward global conflict, the voters of this district will find someone who will.
