Here we are again. Anyone who has been paying attention should not be surprised that the Trump regime has invaded and attacked–without provocation and without authorization from Congress–another country. He’s been threatening to do that since he took office. Yet, even I spent most of Saturday in shock.
But today, instead of sitting around and wringing my hands, I called and wrote to my so-called representatives. I don’t expect them to take my concerns seriously. They are members of Trump’s cult, but if I can be a thorn in their side, if I can amplify the disgust so many of us feel toward Congress and the current regime, then I will do my duty.
Here’s what I said and wrote:
I’m writing to express my alarm about the Trump regime’s UNAUTHORIZED military strikes in Venezuela and the dangerous escalation toward an ILLEGAL and UNNECESSARY war. I request that you commit to your constitutionally mandated responsibilities. Here’s a few things you SHOULD do:
- Immediately pass a war powers resolution to block all unauthorized strikes or military action in Venezuela (as well as any other countries Trump has been threatening);
- Hold public hearings to investigate the legality and justification for the administration’s aggressive use of military force;
- Call for the impeachment of Secretary of Defense Hegseth because he has consistently LIED to Congress about the regime’s intentions toward Venezuela;
- Demand the resignation of Secretary of State Rubio because he has consistently LIED to Congress about the regime’s intentions toward Venezuela; and
- Support articles of IMPEACHMENT and move to CONVICT Trump for this repeated defiance of the law.
Enough is enough! Every day since Trump took office has been filled with one outrageous and illegal crisis (most manufactured by Trump and his cabinet). Voters are sick and tired of being lied to and SICK AND TIRED of Congress not doing what they were elected to do.
DO YOUR JOB. Accept your constitutionally mandated duties and stop the Trump regime from getting the USA bogged down in another forever war!
