People are now saying call your congressman. My congressman
went to the Dark Side on January 6, 2021 and voted to overthrow a legitimate
election. Although a flood of calls has flooded and blocked the congressional
phone lines, there is no indication that our current slate of elected officials
pay the least attention to the cares and concerns of their electors, as long as
they have Elon Musk and Fox Entertainment on their side.
My advice? Postcards.
They won’t open letters. Calls are easily ignored. Postcards
demand, and receive, at least a glance.
No, the elected officials will never see them. But a young
person who became seduced by the sweet music of fascism will. Is there a chance
for a Thomas Becket Moment or a flash of moral clarity? Maybe, just maybe. A multitude
begins with one person.
What should the postcard say? I prefer courtesy as in, “Your
mendacious approach to your honored officed has produced one positive outcome.
It motivates me to send money to institutions who will resist you and your
cause in the lower courts. A few brave attorneys now stand between your fascist
army and my America. I choose to support America as I once did years ago.”
