Officials Accountable

To The Reader’s Forum:

I must call it out as long as we still have a free press. Donald first tried extortion to get President Zelensky to give away the mineral rights of Ukraine in payment and gratitude for all the assistance the US has provided since the full scale invasion by Russia in 2022. But what the world witnessed on Thursday was nothing short of an ambush of President Zelensky. It reminded me of “The mob boss” who brought in a recalcitrant subject to “punish” him for not thank the boss enough for protecting him from the other gang. Everyone in the room got a turn to take a “punch.” I want to say, I have never been so ashamed to be an American and we are only 6 weeks into this administration.

I must speak out and stand up for the oppressed and Democracy. President Zelensky has been democratically elected of a democratic nation of Ukraine. I stand with democracy. I hope Americans still do too. We must stand for, and support individuals and institutions that support democracy. This includes free press, civic duty, civility, constructional rights, rule of law, pluralism, checks and balances, equality and accountability. We must do our part as American citizens and hold all our elected official accountable including this administration. I have included the contact information for our representatives in the House of Representatives, Senate and Whitehouse. Please contact them and let them know how you feel about the job they are doing or not doing. We hired them. We are their boss. If we all do what we can we will sleep better at night. Thank you.
