Embarrassed and Ashamed



Dear Friends

Pardon this interruption but I will not remain silent.

Very briefly, I am saddened, embarrassed for, and so ashamed of my representative to Congress, Ken Calvert, who has signed on (this was requested by Trump) as supporting the crazy Texas AG lawsuit which is suing 4 other states in a pathetic attempt to overthrow the election results. He is one of only 107 of 435 House representatives that represent, from my view, Profiles in Cowardness, not Courage.

I don’t know if you are aware of the details of all this, but it would appear that he has chosen to side with Trump and against the constitution and democracy---because he is afraid of Trump voters in his district, not to mention Trump? Or does he really understand and believe in what he did today.

He needs to hear from people who will not remain silent in the face of this absurd but dangerous action, because it has the potential to further divide our country. States decide on their own rules for elections. Texas has no right or business doing this. It is spearheaded by the Texas Attorney General who is under indictment---is he doing this to show his loyalty to get a pardon? Why is Calvert really doing this? He needs to be called on to explain.

Read up on what is going and then, if you are so moved, call

Ken Calvert  Corona Office 951-277-0042

and

P.S. Picture above is just part of a cartoon I shared before---Nancy Pelosi is in background tearing up his last state of the union speech. I am aware politicians of all stripes can divide, but I am focusing on a president who is STILL SELFISHLY tearing apart the country I love. I am dismayed and disgusted that so many are continuing to enable him, including half of the Republicans in the house and a majority of Republicans in the Senate.
