Dear Republican Representatives and Senators;

When you promote conspiracy theories and play political footsie with people like Congresswoman Green and Donald Trump, we wonder whether you’ve forgotten why we elected you.

Perhaps I should first remind you why we DIDN’T elect you.

We didn’t elect you to spend your time and our money pandering to cronies, donors, extremists, and special interest groups.

We didn’t elect you to “own the libs and anger the media” or, as Republican Senator Ben Sasse recently said, to “worship one dude” (we’d have expected you to leave those notions on your kindergarten playground).

And, now, on to why we DID elect you.

We elected you to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to enact legislation to manage the following critical issues:

Affordable, accessible health care
Civil liberties and national security
Criminal justice reform
Deficit reduction and balancing the budget
Diplomacy and military force
Diversity and equality
Domestic terrorism
Enhanced educational initiatives
Environmental justice
Expanding broadband
Foreign policy initiatives to strengthen relations with allies
Foreign terrorism prevention
Global warming policies and procedures
Green energy programs
Income inequality
Jobs and the economy
Pandemic planning, management, and eradication
Promoting democracy abroad
Racial equality policies
Respectful, compassionate immigration and asylum policies
Restoring relations with allies
Revitalized and reimagined infrastructure
White supremacy

Please tell us precisely what you’re doing to balance America’s best interests against the socioeconomic realities of the 21st Century as you work through each issue.

If you refuse this simple request, you will have told us why we shouldn’t reelect you.

Wouldn’t that be a shame?

Regards,

Davy Z Jones
