Morality, Not Politics (Dear Democrats)

Dear Democrats in Congress,*

In the upcoming election, I hope you become a majority in congress. At least you will be in a position to accomplish some important tasks, not the least of which is to return the government to the rule of law and to protect national security, both of which are currently at grave risk.

You are not, however, free to resume politics as usual. We can no longer simply go back and forth between so-called conservative and liberal tendencies. Most of us have a mix of views even if we don’t seem to on the surface.

You, as with other parties, are too beholden to funders and lobbying groups who do not have our best interests at heart. In the last couple of years, much has been said regarding the one percent, “dark” money, and political corruption. It’s very easy to see with the current holders of the highest offices in our government; it’s not always so obvious with the minority party. But you share in the crime of corruption and it must stop.

Many of us are sick and tired of the same old games where WE are the pawns. You will not have a day of peace until you (as the saying goes) “grow some.” By that, I don’t mean to become as criminal as the current office holders, nor do I mean you should play the game their way. I mean don’t be weak and passive in the face of wrongdoing – it’s not the same thing as being cruel and immoral. Learn the difference and act accordingly.

More to come, if you win in November.  Much more.
