I spent all day on Capitol Hill yesterday. While I go there fairly often, after the vote yesterday, I really felt like I needed a hot shower, only to learn that one wasn’t enough.

I am so pissed off that, this morning, I sent slightly modified versions of the following to the “Dirty Dozen” Republican senators who voted against border security:

Senator (Name),

I cannot begin to express just how utterly disappointed I was to learn that you joined 11 other senators in voting against border security for the United States. I lived in the Southwest for ten years and three of my children live there today. I can attest to the fact that the situation along the border is far, far worse than it ever was when I lived in Arizona and New Mexico. But then, you know that.

I have supported your positions on key issues the vast majority of the time, but this vote was the most egregious violation of the trust of the American people I can possibly imagine. We finally have a president who is willing to staunch the flow of illegal aliens, drugs, white slavers and their ilk into the United States and you and your contemporaries cannot find the intestinal fortitude to vote with him. It’s been said that, “Democrats will not vote against a Democrat president, but Republicans will vote against a Republican.” I would re-phase to, “Neither Democrats or Republicans will vote against a Democrat president, but Republicans will vote against a Republican, especially one who is willing to do what is best for the United States of America.” I am utterly ashamed to call myself a Republican.

I cannot recall Republicans in the House or the Senate successfully opposing even one major policy initiative of the Obama administration, yet you have successfully thwarted President Trump on major policies - for which he was elected - on more than one occasion in slightly more than two years in office. With control of both houses of Congress, you could not muster sufficient support for the president that We The People elected to finally secure the US-Mexico border. I don’t recall this level of outcry when Obama, after proclaiming that he didn’t have the authority to unilaterally implement DACA, did so anyway. As you well know, Congress passed and President Ford signed the National Emergencies Act into law in 1976. It has been used over 50 times since and not once has Congress overturned a presidential declaration of an emergency.

Save me your platitudes on the constitutionality of the NEA. Your predecessors passed the NEA. If you had questions about its infringement on the separation of powers, why wasn’t the NEA repealed? I have long maintained that our representatives in Congress no longer represent those of us who elected them; that they represent the paymasters who fund their campaigns - and now we know who you are, at least on the Republican side of the aisle. Although I do not live in (state), you may rest assured that I will support primary challenges to your seat in the Senate for as long as I remain on this earth.

I highly recommend that each of us copy this awesome letter that was sent to the human waste that inhabit the Senate and who profess to be Republicans. Send a copy of this letter to your email list(s) and ask them to do the same.

These traitors in “our” Senate can no longer claim to support our national security and they certainly cannot profess that they support the American people. Were these schmucks blind and deaf every time Our Donald held huge rallies all over the USA? These schmucks think all the chants of “build the wall” were not representative of the wishes of the American people? Did they not see the families of those murdered by illegals plead for something to be done?

Each of these two-faced, spineless, gutless, worthless Senators have American blood on their hands because they refuse to stop the invasion at our border and stop the drugs being smuggled into our country. Rand Paul’s worthless excuses don’t fly with me. How about you?

Let’s help Our Donald expose, fumigate, and drain the Swamp! Scrub and clean the filth out; both parties.
