Lady, you need to send this to literally EVERY newspaper in Pennsylvania that's still operating. It's the best thing I've read since...well, the last thing you wrote. But this is perfection.

Never useless. I shared it on BlueSky in your link. Inspiring.

That should be read on the Senate floor. Think anybody can make it happen?

...and the photo: it speaks to our reps ignoring our communications. I must work to not let my blood boil, makes for less than optimal observation and cognition.

Digging into these old political cartoons has been fascinating. Also disturbing. Sending some virtual sparkle! Hang in there! ✨

That was awesome. And thanks for explaining some things because I have missed some news on how he has turned to evil. He even supported the Gaza thing?!!??! Absolutely appalling and disgusting. He voted for Pam Bondi?

I'm sorry that who you thought would be someone who had your back could betray his state and people so much.

At least it's not Thom Tillis or Mark Meadows.

It has been so deeply disappointing. He hasn’t gone totally off the deep end yet, but yes, he voted for Bondi and his wife was an undocumented immigrant as a child. It’s baffling!

I wish I was from your state, I would send this letter in a heart beat 💓, but alas, I'm from Wisconsin where they wonr even answer the phone and probably won't open their mail. I have sent emails, but who knows, maybe they won't open them either. I thi know they are all scared 😱

I have sent Fetterman so many email letters, and he has replied with one form response. Pat Toomey at least sent letters related to my inquiries, even though he was awful. I had a folder I called Letters from Pat, and now I guess I'll make a folder called Letters to John. All we can do is keep trying. I just thought our Democratic 'progressive' senator would walk his talk and man was I wrong!

Sounds like both the current & previous member of parliament for westminster, over the pond in bog trotter county here.

I do declare, they're barely there, the email is a sundry thing, it is not so very bling, as a gold sealed envelope, or a gold heeled bespoke trope, Midas had a golden touch, this lot - not so very much, it's sad to see, how blind they be, and shutting down, so gladderly, the gleeful noises they do make, as economic gloom awaits, their appetites, so lushly stated, homes and gardens, all sedated, with a modicum of wazzicom, the mesmirizing, dons of doom.

😱

Wow, thanks for saying what every Democrat wants to say but felt they didn’t have a venue.

I believe that every citizen has a voice and a right to use it! We truly are stronger together.
