An Open Letter

This is an open letter to our governmental representatives at all levels. As a collective, YOU are responsible. As such, the collective should be held to account.

YOU have chosen not to secure our borders. There are thousands of doses of Fentanyl entering the United States daily. It is one of the great killers of our young people. Additionally, thousands of illegal immigrants are also pouring across our borders. While everyone of them is a criminal by virtue of their illegal crossing, there is also a significant number of them that are violent criminals and even known terrorists. Because YOU have chosen not to secure our borders, YOU have increased risk to us all.

YOU have proven you cannot secure our skies and our sovereignty. The lack of effort, response, or logical decision making to protect us from international threats is abhorrent. The lack of competency on your part to deal with these threats makes it seem either incredibly negligent, or even more frightening, purposeful. With your lack of ability to protect us, YOU have increased risk to us all.

YOU continue to vilify law enforcement and support their defunding. This empowers criminals across the country, in every setting from deeply urban to the most rural. These criminals know their chances of being caught and arrested decrease daily as our law enforcement agencies are short staffed, underfunded, overworked, and under-supported by YOU. YOU have increased risk to us all.

YOU continue to emplace and endorse attorneys at every level that refuse to prosecute criminals who are arrested. YOU and these attorneys are releasing more and more violent criminals into society by eliminating cash bond, plea bargaining sentences, and reducing charges instead of holding criminals accountable. YOU have increased risk to us all.

YOU continue to push the electronic vehicles BEFORE our power grid can support their charging. We’ve already seen it in California. The grid is strained or goes down. People cannot go to work. Businesses have to close. The economic impact is greater than you will publicly acknowledge. The safety risk is even greater. Crime increases when there is no air conditioning, when criminals know burglar alarms are not working, and when people become desperate for necessities. YOU have increased risk to us all.

YOU have increased our national debt to a level that is reaching impossible to balance. YOU have ruined our economy. YOU are reducing our use of fossil fuels before we are ready, causing the rapid and unrelenting increase in the price of fuels we need to survive as a nation. YOU are increasing taxes. YOU shut down businesses. Cost of living is skyrocketing. Normally law abiding people are committing crimes out of desperation to provide for their families. YOU have increased risk to us all.

YOU are manipulating, hiding, and rewriting the truth through the media. YOU have entered into a partnership with the press that benefits YOU and lies to US. YOU have bought them and they have agreed to send the messages YOU want, provide the images YOU want, write the stories YOU want with the goal of controlling US. When the press was holding YOU accountable, YOU didn’t raise your standards of conduct, YOU just co-opted them. Instead of working for US, the press has become an agent for YOU. YOU have increased risk to us all.

YOU are dividing this country. YOU are attacking religions. YOU are attacking our own history. YOU are pushing public programs that benefit the very few against the desires of the many. YOU are closing your eyes to violent protests instead of protecting the citizenry. YOU are kowtowing to the loud minority as they physically attack the quiet majority. YOU are using us as experimental subjects by forcing unproven vaccines that are not only underperforming, but killing our citizens. YOU have increased risk to us all.

Through all the risk YOU are increasing on US, YOU are sitting in protected offices and protected houses with security funded by US. The security YOU enjoy is not enjoyed by US. YOU continue to reduce our ability to protect ourselves, our families, our homes, and our property. YOU don’t have to worry about that because YOU are protected. YOU want US to sit quietly and be victims to the decisions YOU have made. With all the risk YOU have increased, YOU want to take away our God given right and ability to protect ourselves.

YOU cannot have the Second Amendment. YOU cannot take it from us. YOU do not have the authority, nor do YOU have the ability. Our families are more important than your feelings. Our safety is more important than your politics. Our rights outweigh your bullshit.

I spent my adult life protecting this country. Now, YOU want to take away my ability to protect my family, my home, and myself during a time when YOU have increased risk on all of US.

If YOU think you’re going to take away my rights, YOU have another thing coming.
