A president has no business promoting a failing company, especially when the fallout is so visible—Tesla showrooms and charging stations being vandalized, and even privately owned Teslas targeted. Yet, here we are, with press invited to admire a car he doesn’t even drive, while he jets around on Epstein’s plane. The audacity is staggering.
But let’s not pretend this is new. This pattern of self-aggrandizement and destructive ambition has played out time and again. From Satan’s rebellion against God to Hitler’s horrifying quest for a “pure” race, history is littered with examples of individuals and groups who sought to elevate themselves above all others. Secret societies, like the one rumored to have shaped Thatcher’s rise, the Southern Army’s creation of the Punch Bowl, and the oppressive system of Apartheid—all of them built on the same toxic foundation of “I’m better, smarter, richer than you.”
Tips For Reaching Out – Or Go Straight to the List
And where are they now? These self-proclaimed superior organizations, including the KKK, have crumbled under their own contradictions. Remember the white woman brutaly assaulted in garage apartment by a fellow KKK member – she died a day or two later not before identifying her attacker by name? That act of betrayal exposed the rot within, proving that hate and arrogance are unsustainable.
History keeps teaching us this lesson, yet some refuse to learn.
Reaching out to your elected officials through emails, letters, or phone calls is an effective way to share your thoughts and concerns. Below are some helpful tips for engaging with them. While most communication legislators receive comes from their constituents, there are no restrictions on contacting other lawmakers, particularly those in influential roles. This includes the Speaker of the House, Minority Leaders, committee chairs or ranking members, and committee members working on the issue you wish to address. Anyone can express their views to these officials.
Write with Originality: Craft your own unique message. While pre-written letters or postcards can serve as templates, a personalized and thoughtful letter carries far more weight. Use any template as a starting point, but make sure your words reflect your own perspective and tone.
Keep it Short: Limit your letter or email to a single page. Legislative aides often review and summarize correspondence for the elected official, so concise messages are more effective and likely to be read in their entirety.
Be Clear About Your Identity and Purpose: In your opening paragraph, identify yourself as a constituent and explain the reason for your message. If you’re not a constituent, briefly clarify why you are reaching out, such as their role on a specific committee. Be sure to mention the bill name or number early in your message to provide context, for example, “I am
Engaging with your elected officials through emails, letters, or phone calls is a powerful way to share your concerns and opinions. While the majority of communication received by legislators comes from their direct constituents, there are no rules against contacting other lawmakers, especially those in influential positions. This includes individuals such as the Speaker of the House, Minority Leaders, committee chairs or ranking members, and any committee members addressing the issue you care about. Regardless of constituency, anyone has the right to express their views to these officials.
Personalize Your Message- If the legislation you are writing about will affect you personally, tell the legislator about it. Write a brief personal story about what the legislation will/will not do for you and/or your community.The more you can personalize your relationship with the legislator, the stronger your letter/email will be. If you voted for the legislator, worked on his/her campaign, or donated money to the legislator or their party, say so. If you ever met the legislator, briefly mention this in your message. If possible, attend town halls, virtual or in-person, and other public events your legislator holds.
Three Points- In keeping your correspondence short, consider making no more than three main points. Flush out your three strongest points and stick with them.
Be Respectful- The easiest way to not have your message read is to be disrespectful. “Dear Idiot” will probably stop the reader from going further, however taking a firm position on an issue is fine. Do not use profanity. Even if your legislator is not the person you voted for, remember to be respectful.
Include Your Address in Your Signature, Even in Email- Legislators are busy people and you should never demand a response. However some legislators will take the time to write back, but they cannot if you do not include your address. Including your address also affirms the fact that you are a constituent.
Proper Address- Below are the ways to address your letters/messages:
Dear President:
Dear Vice President:
Dear Senator (Name):
Dear Representative (Name):
Follow up- After you have contacted the elected official, follow up on what they did. If they voted the way you wanted, consider writing a short thank you note, affirming how outcome will affect you. If your legislator did not vote the way you wanted, consider contacting them and respectfully express your disappointment, and maybe include brief point on how it will affect you. In any follow-up letter/email, mention the fact that you wrote them before the vote was taken.
When contacting by phone, be brief and respectful- In 99% of calls to Congress, you will be talking to a legislator’s staff member who is not involved in the changes in law, programs, or your personal issue(s). Keep that in mind if you get through- if you maske him/her angry she/he has the power to ensure your calls go to voice mail and your emails stay in the [Junk} folder. If you get through take notes, or. record the call [when on a call and emotions are high we may forget, not hear or understand clearly and of course having receipts – […I’m sure I heard…you have proof]. Most of all tyry to be cordial and courteous in all conversations.
