A letter to my state senators and representatives (New York):
While I don’t agree with the choice of Trump, I understand and sympathize with why he was elected; folks wanted a change from the status quo. I am shocked and dismayed to observe that only a few Democrats are publicly opposing Trump’s nominees; not demanding investigations into potential voting fraud; not demanding investigation into potential Russian involvement in the election; not publicly opposing Trump’s plans for the environment and, specifically, the DAPL and The Paris Agreement; and not publicly questioning the integrity of a president who has been found to have committed fraud, harassed women, and who has an obvious conflict of interests.
The “let us see what happens” is ineffectual and dangerous, as is observed by the Neo Nazi activities and his nominees for public office – he is a danger to our country and the world.
Regardless of your personal reasons for running for office and for maintaining your position, history will remember those who have fought the just cause (for the collective welfare), and right now, there are few public figures with the courage to do so publicly and practically – be one of them please.
Thank you,
Victoria Jelinek
