4. All due respect to these senators

But this is going to get made fun of by a lot of Democrats. Especially young people. My child already laughed at this, thinking it was a joke.

Serious question: what, in your opinion, is the point of writing letters to people who, beyond any doubt, don't give a shit what Democrats think and don't take them seriously? I mean people like Pam Bondi and Kash "I'm drunk" Patel openly mocked them in oversight hearings.
They act with the assurance that no matter what they do that Mango Mussolini will give them an open ended full pardon.

I freely admit I don't know what the answer is but I do know from input of real people, that writing letters is not what people want. They want action.

Yes, people are fully aware that the Democrats are the minority party right now.

Did you know over a hundred veterans staged a protest today at the Capital. Did any member of Congress go stand with them in support? Dare Capital Police to arrest them?
A coworker mentioned that option to me today. I honestly hadn't considered it but it was a valid idea. People want to see actions, not press conferences and letters.
