May our children not behave like our president

REMEMBER: The recipient of your letter may or may not read it. But SOMEONE will, especially if it is hand-written. And that person can surely think for herself, or himself. That same person converses with colleagues, friends, family members, fellow parishioners, etc. 

Mr. President,

Stop this war before it is your ruin.

Sincerely,

X

Dear Secretary Rubio,

The only thing sadder than Donald Trump is all those who had his number years ago, yet now are eager to do his bidding.

Sincerely,

X

Dear Senators Thune, Murkowski, Tillis, McConnell, Paul, Collins, and Cassidy,  

By now it must be clear that Donald Trump’s loyalty is not to his Party or his Country, but only to himself, and his deluded pursuit of power and glory.

This is a slow motion trainwreck. The sooner five of you decide you will need to vote with the loyal opposition to end it, the better for everyone. 

Sincerely,

X

Senator Graham,

You were once a playmaker in a functional Senate. You once had Donald Trump’s number. But now, on this 250th year of our experiment in democracy, your only ambition is to please that same man, who is hell-bent on ending that experiment.

 As a member of the Judiciary Committee, are you not appalled by his attacks on the third branch of government (not to mention his disregard for and attacks on Congress)? 

How sad for your Party. How sad for your Country. How sad for you.

Sincerely,

X

President Trump, The Whte House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20500

Dear Citizen:

President Trump is not well.

You who are reading this may not feel free to agree with the statement above, but I am sure you can see the truth in it.

Donald Trump behaves as though he never learned to lose anything with grace. He is the kid who always had to change the rules of the game so as to “win”. As president of the most powerful country on earth, he believes he “wins” if he can manage, by hook or by crook, to avoid the peaceful transfer of power to a Democrat.

Having appointed loyalists to head the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who in turn have purged those departments of individuals whose loyalty to Trump over the Constitution is in doubt, he has transformed those agencies into arms of his vengeance.

Donald Trump doesn’t know what to do with himself. He does not seem happy unless he is disrupting lives, communities, or whole economies, with all the human costs that shake out. Recently he launched a war in the absence of an imminent threat and without authorization by Congress. It is clear this war was poorly planned, and was done at the behest of Israel, which enjoys undue influence in Washington.

His attacks on political opponents and on the Judicial branch seem unprecedented and are intended to intimidate. Chief Justice John Roberts has felt it necessary to rebut such attacks. Most recently, the president has talked of laws to “crack down” on “criminal, rogue judges”.

With his numerous and escalating attacks on both Congress and the Judiciary, and his determination to guarantee election outcomes favoring his party, he is the very man our Founders feared.

On this 250th anniversary of our Country’s birth, every citizen needs to decide how he or she can help stop this slide into dictatorship.

Sincerely,

X

Stephen Miller, The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20500

Mr. Miller:

Learn to do right; seek justice.
    Defend the oppressed.[a]
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
    plead the case of the widow.

                 –Isaiah, 1:17

I understand you are 40, and a happy father and husband. Surely you must want for others the same joy and security you and your family have.

Isn’t that about as basic as it gets?

So I am curious why you push such a cruel policy toward undocumented immigrants, even to the point of breaking up families.

Why don’t you advocate for sensible immigration reform, something like the bi-partisan legislation which many Republican lawmakers supported in 2024, until candidate Donald Trump called on them to oppose it?

If that proposed bill was not adequate, how would you improve on it?

And why do you make such improbable claims about protests against ICE? What are your sources of information? Your inflammatory approach is not serving the President well. 

I do not see how it can profit your soul to persist on your current path.

Sincerely,

X

Mr. President,

    You can do your best to trash our democratic institutions.

    You can dismember immigrant families.

    You can rule your party by fear and make cowards of most Republicans.

    You can abuse your powers to persecute your perceived enemies.

    You can withhold aid to the world’s most destitute.

    But if you have not love, you have nothing. 

    Your insatiable quest for power and glory cannot turn out well for you.

     It sure as Hell won’t get you to Heaven.  

Sincerely,

X

Dear Chief Justice Roberts, 

I very much appreciate your recent decisions and public statements in defense of the Constitution against a man who obviously does not mean well.

You may salvage the legacy of the Roberts Court yet!

Courage,

X

Dear Mr. Speaker [Mike Johnson],

I understand your Christian faith is important to you. In that case, you must hold the Greatest Commandment in high regard. 

Here it is:

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”   –Matthew 22:36-40

Mr. Johnson, do you not see the glaring contradiction between your faith and your support for a president who delights not in serving God, but in his own deluded pursuit of power and glory?

Sncerely,

X

Dear Senator Cruz:

God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

–1 John, 4:16 KJV

You once had Donald Trump’s number. He once accused your father of being in cahoots with President Kennedy’s assassin. 

How can you do his bidding? Surely you can see this is a slow motion trainwreck.

Your loyalty to the tyrant is misplaced. Your job is to defend the Constitution.

Sincerely,

X

Dear Congressman Neguse, Senator Hickenlooper, and Senator Bennet:

How can you guys judge Republicans who will not stand up to Trump when you will not stand up to the Israel lobby?

Israel’s main problem is not Hamas or Iran. Israel’s main problem is its excessive power, which allows it to believe it can have security without seeing to justice for the Palestinians.

By unconditionally supporting Israel’s military supremacy in the region, you three are part of the problem.

Sincerely.

Dear Senator Murkowski,

In this hour of our peril, you are a bright shining star.

Right now, lawmakers like you are few. But trust in God, and know that courage is contagious.

Sincerely,

X

Mr. Patel,

Your loyalty to Donald Trump is beyond question. You have fired competent and experienced F.B.I. personnel for doing their jobs. But you told lawmakers that you only terminate employees for poor performance.

You have fired agents for thinking creatively and kneeling in solidarity with Black Lives Matter protesters.

You have made fools of Senators whom you misled and who voted to confirm you. 

You once claimed you could prove that January 6 was an “insider job”. Your evidence? There were F.B.I agents in the crowd that day. But there is an obvious explanation for that short of your preposterous claim.

You have written children’s books to perpetuate Donald Trump’s big lie about the 2020 election. How do you account for his multiple attempts to deceive and defraud judges, state election officials, DOJ officials, state legislators, members of Congress and American voters as spelled out in the Smith Report?

How do you explain his calling his supporters from across the country to “stop the steal” on January 6, inciting them with his false claims and fighting words at the Ellipse, his refusal to call off the rioters for three hours, and his 2:24 pm tweet egging on the mob in pursuit of Vice President Pence?

Mr. Patel, you obviously have talent. One should not waste his or her talent. But more importantly, one should not put it to dark schemes.

How can your conduct  profit your soul? 

Sincerely,

X
