Im a father and I know you are too.
Ive been a father for 47 years.
And a grandfather for 16 years.
I cannot imagine what it would be like for our daughter to be taken from her mother and I when she was only a year or two old.
Seriously. I can not even imagine it.
It dredges up memories of Hitlers Germany and the final solution.
Thankfully youre not sending them to the ovens.
But you, the Trump Party, are taking these babies away from their parents at a time in their development that is most damaging.
If you want to raise a whole generation of damaged human beings, misfits, and even criminals at our southern border, this is the way to do it.
Come on man.
As a father and an American, wont you do the right thing and stop this madness?
Im begging you.

(149,615 posts)If this doesn't touch him, doesn't get him to move and to do the right thing, then I'd have to think that he's not a man at all.
Real men have hearts and take care of the helpless among us. I don't think that many Republicans in public office fit this description.
This is dreadful.

VOTE THEM OUT.

(2,593 posts)I went on record with my two Republican senators via email. Maybe an overwhelming volume of calls, emails and letters will have some effect.

(7,809 posts)The Sandy Hook Massacre was a real wake-up point. If rethugs couldn't be moved by that, they will be moved by nothing at all. It's a scary thing to realize, but there is no other conclusion to make where they are concerned.
My vote is guaranteed for whatever Democrat is on the ballot. It is not possible that a rethug will get my vote because they side with murderers, kidnappers, and every other criminal element there is.

(7,504 posts)They give zero fucks about kids of color. They only care about votes. Unless someone cuts their water off they could care less. Susan Collins summed it up nicely. It's awful but I don't think we should pass laws to stop it.

(15,940 posts)Wellllll, living in tents in the hot heat with no A/C, will most definitely feel like being in an oven. Hopefully no one will die under those conditions.
I'm having a hard time knowing there are "people" that doesn't care about the children.
Perhaps the Democrats can reuse the catch phrase won't anyone "Think of the children"
Somebody needs to be and I know we are the party to fix this (sigh as always)!
Good Letter, trof
