Received A Traumatizing Flyer in Mail Today From GQP

[Clouds Passing]

Republican Party of New Mexico sent me a flyer blaming Senator Martin Heinrich for the death of my child. It stated that since Sen Heinrich refused to secure the border he is responsible for all the deaths from Fentanyl overdose.

I am livid! It is horrifying and disgusting that they would promote such lies at the expense of my dead child. 😢

The Republican Party, every one of them, is responsible for failing to secure the border leading to the fentanyl overdose that my child suffered and died from.

[spooky3]

1. That is the lowest of the low! Shocking. I'm so sorry. Nt

[Clouds Passing]

14. Thank you. It put me in a state of shock.

[republianmushroom]

2. Typical republicans.

[ailsagirl]

9. Repukes on steroids

I'm so sorry to hear about this

[Clouds Passing]

13. Thank you.

Steroids are toxic substances too.

[Clouds Passing]

15. Republicans are cruel. We cannot let them win, they must lose everything.

[republianmushroom]

16. Agree, the stake must be driven though the heart of the beast.

[BattleRow]

100. Wonder what

Abraham Lincoln would think of his party today?

[blm]

3. Oh geez, they are craven.

So sorry this was visited upon you.

[Clouds Passing]

12. Thank you.

My child suffered enough being addicted to this horrible substance, I suffer for him. I have deep sadness for all the people addicted to fentanyl. It is nearly impossible to overcome. I have empathy for all the families affected by this tragedy. It is an epidemic.

[blm]

22. I understand.

Lost my eldest niece to oxycodone after a car accident left her in constant pain. She became one of the statistics of that era. I still grieve everyday.

[Clouds Passing]

42. I am sorry for the loss of your niece. The grief is always present.

I hope your niece is in peace. I know my son is, that is a blessing.

[Bayard]

4. I'm so sorry for the loss of your child....

Rethuglicans see it as a fund-raising opportunity, like trump going to Arlington.

We've been getting letters from them lately too. My husband writes--Return to Rapist, and puts back in the mailbox. Makes us feel better anyway.

[Clouds Passing]

8. Thank you, it was rough. Excellent suggestion, I will try that.

[Zoomie1986]

54. If they didn't send it first class or higher mail

Then they don't get the mail back. The USPS throws it away.

If you want them to get the message, send it back with a stamp on it.

[Bayard]

55. He's done that too.

[ShazzieB]

97. I like the way your husband thinks!

I'm making a mental note of that, in case I ever get anything like that in the mail.

[leftyladyfrommo]

5. Oh my gosh! That's awful.

I wish there was someway to let others see just how terrible these people are. But don't do anything that will cause you more pain.

[Clouds Passing]

6. Thank you leftyladyfrommo

I really want to call them and tell them what I feel. And to take my name off their ugly mailing list. But I feel if I do any of that, they will harass me worse. I did contact Senator Heinrich’s office, waiting to hear back.

I ran the flyer through the shredder and did a lot of screaming into a pillow. The tears will start when my cortisol rush wears off.

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. I have a much younger friend with a really

serious autoimmune disease. All of a sudden she started getting ads from cremation companies.

[DENVERPOPS]

63. Walgreens has been caught

three? times so far selling Rx info, as well their personal info to anyone who wants to buy it.

The Feds keep fining them larger and larger amounts and they just keep on doing it because the CEO is making massive bonuses. He even gloats over the fact that the company pays the fine, he walks away with no penalty, and the fine is a tax deduction......

[appalachiablue]

98. Horrible, effin predators. It reminds me of Michael Moore' film expose

on 'Dead Peasants' insurance policies that companies take out on their employees unknowingly. A woman in her early thirties who had allergies I think died unfortunately. The company collected a good amount of money from the tragedy but her family received nothing.

Dead Peasants Insurance

[BoomaofBandM]

7. I am so sorry about your loss.

There is a TV ad in Wisconsin that has a couple blaming the loss of their child on Tammy Baldwin, A Wisconsin senator. My nieces husband and my step daughter both died from drug overdoses. I told my husband that it never occurred to me to blame Senator Baldwin. I was also angry. It seems to be a theme this year.

[Clouds Passing]

17. Thank you. I am so sorry for your losses.

The anger the Republicans are creating from these ads is mirroring right back at them. They are creating more rage at their own selves.

The Republicans must be completely humiliated from ever doing this again.. Any good suggestions are very welcome, please,

[badhair77]

11. There's an ad in PA blaming Bob Casey.

They just fill in the blank with a different name. Disgusting.

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s disgusting that they’re using the pain so many families feel to try to make political points. I wish you peace and comfort.

[Clouds Passing]

18. Thank you.

The republicans have no boundary to their depravity.

[Biophilic]

27. No they don't and they have no problem using others pain and sorrow.

They really are deplorable. Never thought I’d call someone that.

[Clouds Passing]

44. Theirs is a sickness so much harsher than the disease of drug addiction.

[dchill]

94. They've been militantly deplorable since Reagan. At least.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

19. traitortrump killed the bipartisan bill so that ad could be made. Republican cowards obeyed him.

[Clouds Passing]

23. This whole fentanyl epidemic, I blame on the Republicans. They are nothing but criminals.

[lindysalsagal]

20. So sorry about your child.

[Clouds Passing]

24. Thank you. I love him and miss him.

[wryter2000]

21. So sorry for your loss

How terrible.

[Clouds Passing]

26. Thank you. It has been difficult.

[duhneece]

25. I'm in south central New Mexico, addicted son in prison

I ache for your loss and am enraged by your receiving such shit.

[Clouds Passing]

32. Thank you. I know your pain. It is living trauma every moment of every day.

We’re always “waiting for the call”, I hated that the worst.

We need to soundly defeat Domenici and Herell the Horrible.

[duhneece]

53. I actually ran against Herrell in 2016 for State Rep

The pictures she posted when she was Congresswoman were usually with MTG or Boebert. Miserable woman.
I’ve been canvassing for Gabe Vasquez and we put up 4 signs for Gabe today.
The ‘ripples’ of my 46 year old son’s addiction reached his son, who miraculously survived shooting himself in the head 2 years ago and had a mental health crisis in Albuquerque earlier this month. Recently I’ve spent weeks barely functioning. I seem to be in a better place now.
Addiction should have been a public health issue instead of a criminal one.

[Clouds Passing]

64. Addiction needs to become a front and center issue!

So much of the crime problems emanate from that. Our kids should be in effective treatment programs, not prisons.

I’m sorry you had been in the “barely functioning” mode. It sucks the life out of life being there. I’m sorry for your grandson, he must be suffering fiercely.

You are brave to have run against herell, she is horrible. Go Gabe! I’d vote for him but I’m in Melanie’s district.

Healing to you and your family.

[ffr]

28. Republicans, projecting their weaknesses through propaganda as their strengths.

And keep doubling down on the lie.

[dlk]

29. I'm very sorry for your loss

I can’t imagine losing a child. Then to have Republicans use such a tragedy in such a cynical way for political gain is beyond despicable. They are the scum of the earth. May your child rest in peace. And I wish peace for you, as well.

[Clouds Passing]

36. Thank you. I feel his peace, he suffered so much.

Republicans are the worst of the worst.

[dlk]

74. It must have been so painful for you, as well

When our children struggle, we feel it deep in our souls. I’m really sorry and hope you have been able to find a way forward, on whatever path.

[Clouds Passing]

76. Thank you for your understanding, dlk. Grieving group, therapy, making myself a better person

Therapy, grieving group, making myself a better person is how I cope. The guilt gets overwhelming at times.

I have to believe he was here for a special reason and that he completed his mission, that he has returned home and is in peace. That helps alot.

[dlk]

86. Our children teach us about love, in ways we never would have imagined

The path forward is never a straight line. I have a dear friend who is coping with the loss of her husband. I let her know it takes as long as it takes, and as many detours as it takes. There’s no checklist or deadline. It is a unique path for every one of us. I hope for you peaceful travels forward.

[LoisB]

30. Disgusting! I am so sorry for the loss of your child.

[Clouds Passing]

37. Thank you for your compassion, LoisB

[Quakerfriend]

31. So sorry for the loss of your son

The R’s are trying desperately to counter the fact that they killed the border bill which contained $$$ for the machines that detect Fentanyl.

Their evil knows no bounds.

[Clouds Passing]

38. Thank you.

Evil is why the Rs put the stars upside down on their logo. It is what they are.

[barbtries]

33. I am so sorry for your loss.

yes it is beyond deplorable that republicans would use a child's death in this manner. they have no hearts. no empathy whatsoever. A mob of sociopaths.

[Clouds Passing]

39. Thank you for your empathy, barbtries.

It is stunning that there are people who have no compassion, empathy, sympathy, or decency.

[Laffy Kat]

34. I am so sorry you are going through this.

What a cruel ploy. I'm sure you're not the only one who has been victimized by this thoughtless action.

[Clouds Passing]

40. Thank you, Laffy Kat

It was shocking! Somehow we must find a way to publicly shame them to make them stop their cruel advertising.

[lpbk2713]

35. There's no limit to how low they will go.

This is sickening. So sorry you had to endure this.

[Clouds Passing]

41. Thank you so much.

It is sickening.

[keithbvadu2]

43. One of Trump's republicans was arrested for smuggling fentanyl.

Not an immigrant.

[Clouds Passing]

46. Many more than him, the Republican party needs to be renamed the Republican Crime Family.

This is who they are.

[HeartsCanHope]

45. I am so sorry for your loss, and the pain this flyer caused you.

The Republicans have no empathy for anyone. No thought about the pain their comments or actions might cause grieving families. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. Take care.

[Clouds Passing]

47. Thank you HeartsCanHope.

Just when you think that the grieving is calming down something like this hits. It is gaslighting of an insidious order. I’m beginning to believe that that’s the point to their ugly ads.

[Warpy]

48. Even the usually right of center KOAT ran a story today

describing how nasty Yvette Herrell has gotten down south.

I think they know they don't have much hope and are getting desperate.

I am so sorry for such a horrendous loss. Yes, the Republicans are responsible in many ways, they blocked investigations into the fentanyl mills in China for years and years, probably because McConnell's wife didn't like the idea, as well as scuttling the border security bill so TFG wouldn't have a sad. There is a lot of blame and much of it seems to lead in one direction, to the right.

[Clouds Passing]

58. Thank you Warpy. My son's addiction was horrendous for him. And for us, his family.

Unfortunately treatment for drug addiction in NM is woefully inadequate. Martinez made it worse.

Herell the Horrible must be voted down permanently.

McConnell and the Rs will rot in hell for their contribution to the expansion of these drugs in the US.

[Warpy]

66. Drug rehab doesn't work because the inpatient stays are too short

I've known more than one addict in recovery who said a stay in prison was the only way they got clean. Three months was minimal, six months was better, and anything over that just meant they had that much more motivation to stay clean. We'd have to shitcan the branch of the DEA leaning on doctors and their patients to be able to pay for that kind of treatment.

Nothing that has been done since Nixon started the war has done anything but get us more and worse drugs on the street.

[Clouds Passing]

67. Yes, addiction rehab needs an overhaul

Longer stays, mental reprogramming, emotional healing and stabilizing, physical healing, career direction, housing, basic adult life skills

Nixon’s wing of the R party has done so much damage, and they continue to do damage. They are a wrecking ball of society.

[MLAA]

49. Sending you hugs.

[Clouds Passing]

59. Thank you.

[Hope22]

50. Sometimes I feel like if they could stop for just one day .....

I’m so sorry for the awful trigger and the heartlessness of these people. My heart goes out to you for the loss of your child. Im sending love and more love to you!💗💗💗🙏🏼💐

[Clouds Passing]

65. Thank you Hpoe22

“If they could just stop for one day….”

We could start to heal. That is what they fear most.

[Hope22]

82. True words!

We can’t let them get us! 💗🙏🏼

[AllaN01Bear]

51. somone a dem told me the rs have been playing the border card before Eisenhower.

this 1 trick pony is all they have ,. my response to them sir and or mamm is this . simple and to the point and a hug for thee. virtually.

[Clouds Passing]

60. Thank you. I feel it

[Ponietz]

52. Watch out for anyone named Dominici

[Evolve Dammit]

56. Were you specifically targeted? If so, call ACLU or FBI civil crimes division. That is harrassment.

[Clouds Passing]

61. No just a political flyer, it was addressed to me.

I am a registered Dem, so don’t know why they'd send it to me. I wish had grounds to sue them.

[keithbvadu2]

57. White Supremacist network busted with enough fentanyl to kill over a million people.

68. Largest Fentanyl bust so far...

Biden/Harris admin are doing alot to stem the flow. I Love them for this.

[keithbvadu2]

69. Vance verifies that republicans are the main abusers of fentanyl.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/11/jd-vances-claim-that-biden-is-targeting-maga-voters-with-fentanyl/

J.D. Vance’s claim that Biden is targeting ‘MAGA voters’ with fentanyl

“If you wanted to kill a bunch of MAGA voters in the middle of the heartland, how better than to target them and their kids with this deadly fentanyl? … It does look intentional. It’s like Joe Biden wants to punish the people who didn’t vote for him and opening up the floodgates to the border is one way to do it.”

[Clouds Passing]

71. My son was not a magat. He voted for Biden and Ovama. Vance lies and lies and projects his crimes

on specific targets to shift blame off himself and those who are truly causing this drug crisis, his own party.

[keithbvadu2]

73. Yes. Vantz is not worried about Americans dying of drugs, only republicans dying of drugs.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vantz

"Vantz" is yiddish slang for "obnoxious punk". Literally, it means "bedbug".

[Clouds Passing]

75. The 99% are just "useless eaters" to those royalists.

Good nickname, fits him perfectly. I might spread it around, if that’s ok.

[keithbvadu2]

78. Please! Feel free. I picked it up where someone else left it.

[Clouds Passing]

79. Cool thanks

[BattleRow]

99. Maybe

sofabed bug??

[Demsrule86]

70. Send it back with the GOP failed to pass legislation on the border issue which might have save my child.

I am so sorry for you loss .

[Clouds Passing]

72. Thank you, Demsrule86

I was so upset I put it through the shredder immediately. It almost felt like evil in my hands.

[pandr32]

77. How gut wrenching for you.

I am so sorry.
There is nothing or no-one off limits to the party of villains and their chief villain.

[Clouds Passing]

88. Thank you for your kind words, pandr32

If they spent as much energy helping others heal instead of intentionally harming others…

[pandr32]

95. It's not a feature of anti-social disorder.

It's good they are unmasking themselves so we know who they are.

[area51]

80. I'm sorry for your loss.

[Clouds Passing]

89. Thank you area51

[usonian]

81. They're a cult. Try not to let them get to you, though it hurts like hell right now.

https://democraticunderground.com/100219368651

Right-Wing Cruelty? It's ENTIRELY about the cruelty.


Get even by voting them out of power. Their hate and cruelty condemns them to a miserable existence. Now and later.

Join hands with good, considerate people.

[Clouds Passing]

90. Thank you, usonian

Your post should have received many more recs and posts.

Hate is key to what is happening now. Cruelty is key to the drug epidemic slowly killing our children, parents, friends and loved ones.

We must overwhelm the hate cult with higher awareness and love ❤️ and our votes 🗳️

[applegrove]

83. Republicans have refused to negotiate an immigration deal including when Obama was in office

and I include the bipartisan deal made with Langford that Trump got Republicans in Congress to trash.

[Skittles]

84. very sorry this happened to you

and when they cannot see political opportunity (as with, say, chronic mass shootings), they just ignore

loathsome creatures

[Clouds Passing]

91. Thank you, Skittles

My son loved skittles.

They create political opportunity through acts of “shock and awe”. Everyone is on the menu for gain of power.

[LeftInTX]

85. I'm so sorry for the loss of your son.

Did they know that your son had passed away or was it a generic flyer?

I would let them know that my son had died from an OD and that you were offended by the mailer. Heck, take it to the media.

Whatever you do, don't be afraid of them!

[Clouds Passing]

92. Thank you LeftinTX

I wish I wouldn’t have shredded it because I would post a photo of it. It looked like a generic GOP flyer. It was addressed to me.

I will take some type of action today. I’m not sure what yet.

[33taw]

87. I am so sorry for your loss.

[Clouds Passing]

93. Thank you 33taw

[samplegirl]

96. Right back to these nasty jackasses

he had a one-man show for a contractor who was getting government subsidies to build it, and then splitting the money back to Trump sus a shitty ass wall.
Not securing the ball border did not kill someone's child. They find a way to smuggle drugs into this country, one way or the other just as they do in the prison system.

[Clouds Passing]

104. Thank you samplegirl...

They are sneaking contraband in legally. That’s why they really don’t want to fix the border problem. They created it to draw attention away from their goons smuggling in drugs through the legal channels.

I'm so sorry you were subjected to their crass manner of "campaigning."

103. You're welcome Clouds Passing

I'm so saddened to learn of your loss.

Please be gentle with yourself. Grieving is hard work and to be slammed with such a letter... Beyond words.
