A Call To Action For All Patriots

     And so it goes, another day, another outrage from the Trump White House.  There's no question that these are times that try men's and women's souls.  And exhaust our brains like none other.
     But it doesn't matter.  We the people must continue to speak up and speak out, especially over the discovery of this latest - and most serious - case of wrong-doing connected to Donald Trump, that is, the discovery by our intelligence community of a suspect relationship between Donald Trump along with his election campaign and at least one member (now ex-member) of his administration, 

...and the Kremlin.

             Tell me, is it just me, or does this Trump-Putin connection somehow not feel like news at all?

     Majority Republican members of Congress don't seem to know what to do about the fact that The President of the United States appears to have illicit entanglements with a hostile foreign power.  They're whirling around like mice in a blender trying to figure out what to do about this crisis, while Donald Trump sits calmly in the center of the vortex and comes up with his own plan for handling the situation - he'll simply  take away the authority of our Director of National Intelligence and instead appoint one one of his billionaire cronies, one Steve Feinberg,

... to join his staff for the purpose of putting a leash on our country's intelligence agencies.
     My fellow American patriots, the time has come once again for us to rise up and offer some clarity to our befuddled Republican lawmakers in Congress, as we've been doing,

​...and with some success.

     Today we need to bring to their attention their duty to call for - no, demand - an independent and bipartisan investigation into any Russian ties to Donald Trump's Presidential campaign and/or his administration, and that the first order of business must be the disclosure of Donald Trump's tax returns.
    So, my fellow patriots, let us start making some noise on this issue. Let us call our representatives.  Send them an email.  Write them a letter.  If any one needs a text to write or to read from for their phone call they may feel free to use the following:

     Dear  (Senator, Congressman, Congresswoman           ) ,
     I urge you to call for and demand the immediate creation of an independent and bipartisan commission to investigate any possible Russian ties to President Donald Trump’s election campaign and/or his administration and to insist that the disclosure of President Trump’s tax returns be the first order of business in this investigation.  Please put the welfare of our country before party politics and remember that history will either honor you or censure you for the stand you take.  (Senator, Congressman, Congresswoman        ), our country is depending on you.  Please do the right thing.

      I've already called my Senator, Rob Portman, and emailed him and plan to continue doing so on a daily basis.  If we blow up our representatives' lines with phone calls and emails or bombard their staff with letters they will notice.  

     I've heard from a Philadelphia fellow patriot, Kathy, here with her daughter Moira standing up for justice at an anti-Muslim ban demonstration,

​...that there will be a rally in Philly this Saturday.

     I also have it on good authority from a Columbus fellow patriot, Basia (see post from 2/13/2017),

...that there is a Columbus Indivisible demonstration every Tuesday in front of Senator Rob Portman's office at 37 West Broad Street in downtown Columbus from 12-12:30 pm.  Mayhaps I will join them this week to demonstrate for the investigation.
      In any case, if we all  do something,  write an email, write a letter, make a phone call, demonstrate, wave a flag, bang a drum,

...then surely Congress will get the message.
