My letter to my Republican Representative

Dear Representative Lance,

I am your constituent, and by the grace of God I have nothing to complain about my own circumstance in life. I am not super wealthy ..but I have a steady job , live in a wonderful community has great surroundings and parks and schools. I am living the American dream.

I also can understand the angst among millions of Americans, who have seen declining living standards, and how they may have been driven to voting for someone like Donald Trump. I can understand them.

What I seriously doubt is whether Donald Trump understands them. In fact, I highly doubt he cares about anything other than his fragile ego.

Normally, I wouldnt bother writing to you about it. Except that it bothers me that he is turning the Office of the Presidency into an absolute freak show. We can try ignoring it for a while. But we really cannot. Everyday it's a new controversy. He seems willing to plunge to unimaginable depths to keep things boiling.

At some point you have to say enough is enough. You have to start putting country above party politics. This is the time for you to stand up and be counted. Now isnt the time for some trite statements about unity and respect. Now is the time for action.

I beg you to deliver a shot across the bow, by censuring Donald Trump on his reckless and unhinged behaviour that is beginning to have serious national security implications.

We need leadership from our representatives at a time like this.

I am counting on you.

Respectfully,
XXXXX
