I sent this email to Senator Pat Toomey today...
Senator Toomey,
I have contacted your office in the past about various issues, but today I am compelled to call again. Last night the President of the United States retweeted a video of a rally held by Cowboys for Trump in New Mexico in which a speaker said, “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat” and he personally thanked the Cowboys. Are you at all concerned that by sharing that video, the leader of the free world signaled that he condones that statement? As you can probably guess, I am a Democrat so should I be in fear that someone will take up the advice of what was signaled? More so, are you concerned at all about the irrational behaviors of this man? For example. Is it normal for a leader to share tweets referring to Hillary Clinton as a skank, demeaning the appearance of Stacie Abrams, and spreading conspiracy theories about Joe Scarborough? I tried calling your office today and heard the message that due to the pandemic your offices were closed and that your staff was working from home. I commend you for listening to the recommendations of the doctors and experts during this critical time. Are you at all concerned that the person who is supposed to be leading by example during this crisis not only disregards the advice of the experts, but appears more focused on attacking his opponents than attacking the disease? At the end of your message, you advised us to stay safe. I am doing everything I can to stay safe from Covid-19, but in reality I have never felt as unsafe in my life due to the inciteful and divisive actions of the person who is supposedly the Chief Executive of the law in this country. It is my hope that you and the members of your party will at some point stand up and say enough is enough and will employ the checks and balances on this administration and return this country to what the Founders envisioned.
