My fellow Americans
I am going to get on my political soapbox for a moment, so I hope you all bear with me.
If you aren't political, I can understand, but please let your congressman or woman know how you feel about the situation that's going on in Washington with our Dictator-in-Chief in residence. They won't know how you feel unless you contact them. I know some of our representatives go into hiding when they come home because they are too scared to face a lot of people. Well, they should be having contact with their constituents now because it is their vacation.
They need to remember that they are employed by us. We are their bosses and they need to be sent a Job Performance Evaluation in person or through e-mails or phone contact with their staff. Hopefully, and I say hopefully because I truly don't believe everything gets forwarded to them, they will take these messages to heart and remember country over Party.
Just keep in mind this quote by Martin Niemoller, a prominent Protestant pastor in Germany who spent many years in a concentrations camp:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was not one left to speak for me.
Okay, I'm now off my soapbox. I truly hope everyone is trying and accomplishing to have a good summer.
My thoughts are always with those out West experiencing all of the terrible wildfires. Please be safe.
Peace,
Daphne
