Greetings. I am a voting constituent in rural west Texas.
Today, January 6, I am breaking my vow to never write to my elected officials again. This day deserves comment. And a reminder that just because you don't hear from constituents, doesn't mean we approve of what we see.
The sentiment below, voiced by Liz Cheney, is what we still hold in our hearts as we look ahead into another four years of god knows what.
When accused by the incoming president of being a 'vicious thug' for her part in the January 6 investigation, Cheney responded:
"Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can’t change the truth and you cannot silence us. Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened? Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you. Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember. And now, as you take office again, the American people need to reject your latest malicious falsehoods and stand as the guardrails of our Constitutional Republic—to protect the America we love from you.”
You should think long and hard about her words and your part in whatever happens going forward.
And always remember, just because you don't hear from us, doesn't mean we're not paying attention. We haven't forgotten anything.
