this is a smaple of the emails I have been sending my representatives..
>As a Pennsylvania resident I object strongly to your immoral and unethical and probably treasonous attempts to enable Mr. Trumps false claims of election fraud. The use of mail in ballots here was a totally reasonable adaptation to help save lives during an extremely unusual and deadly time-just as masks and social distancing have been. The votes were accurately counted and Mr. Biden won. To argue a legal technicality in order to dismiss the votes of millions of American citizens is both despicable and dishonors all those men and women who have died protecting our democracy. Shame on you for being on the wrong side of history and humanity. As a white man I now understand the centuries of voter suppression that the black race has faced in this country. Stop the madness and your support of the immature child man ranting in the white house...This is McCarthyism all over again, but apparently some people- mostly Republicans like you- have never learned genuine integrity. Pathetic…<
The above is an email I have sent to my representative Glenn Thompson and, in a modified form, to Mr. Trump, Mr. McConnel, Mr. Cruz and others in our state and national governments. In all my 65 years I have never experienced such an egregious assault on the integrity of our elections, nor such a blatant, self serving distortion of the good spirit of the vote. For the Republican party to support these attempts is absolutely disgusting to me, so it is difficult for me to disguise my contempt for the men and women whose personal character is so lacking. If nothing else, this year should remind all of us of how easy it is for a nation to fall into anarchy, when millions are willing to follow a leader into lies and darkness. Some of these people are threatening civil war because of totally fabricated conspiracy theories and the self serving distortions of their cult leader. The disheartening thing is that many of these people are so called good Christians, yet they lack the critical, consistent thinking to comprehend the most basic facts and assertions....So again I write rather than be complicit in silence, and I pray that our institutions continue to defend the people rather than the corruption of those in power.

Well written as always Wes. This election cycle has shown and proven to me that majority of politicians have only themselves in their interests, and subservient not to those they represent, but to their need and desire to feed their egos and fill their pockets. Shameful.
and now today as we witness the 2nd impeachment trial, I hear all these Senators give their opinions as to whether or not to impeach. I hear nobody say that he should be held to a higher degree of culpability because of his position. With that, he definitely should be impeached.
