But many of these are Deep Red Districts, so don't expect anything to happen to the, because their constituents couldn't care less about the Ukrainians.

10. I rarely contact my GQP Congress critter. It is a waste of time.

I have no conviction that either he or his staff can read simple English.

This time I could not stop myself.

only responses I've received from R critters were pre-printed generic talking points unrelated
to the issue I asked about. Idiots think we're as dumb as those who voted for them. Good Luck!

12. I agree with the No votes

I also agree with Massie and Paul's statements that there needs to be oversight on how this money is being spent

Some of us are antiwar regardless of which party has majorities. It's very sad that this position is coming from the GOP side of the aisle

15. I admire principled pacifists. Standing for ones principles is a rare thing.

However, pacifism has a poor track record as a strategy for dealing with aggressive autocratic states.

MTG and her MAGAt toadies are not happy that Dan Crenshaw voted to aid Ukraine. They loves them some Putin.
