Letter From Blue America To Red [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-03-21
I submitted this letter to my in-laws local newspaper. Not sure if anyone my age reads the letters to the editor anymore, but my in-laws generation does and they vote and express themselves. Feel free to copy the second and third paragraphs to write to a local paper that serves a red area.
Tomorrow we travel to the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to spend time with my in-laws, not far from the hallowed ground of Gettysburg. It’s our first trip since the beginning of President Trump’s second term. We certainly know politics in DC are different now right?
Whether you are happy or excited about Trump’s second term generally, I know that those who voted for Trump weren’t voting to protect child kidnappers. Even as a critic of the President, I was surprised to discover that the Trump administration stopped funding to track the 30,000 children kidnapped by Putin and possibly deleted the information and evidence already collected. Or perhaps the State Department is withholding the data collected. Unclear as of now.
Stealing children is amongst the worst crimes possible. On that, whatever your politics, we can agree. I know that you didn’t vote for that and you don’t support that. So I ask you to contact the White House, Senators McCormick and Fetterman, and Representative Perry, and urge them to restore funding to track these children so that they may be returned to their parents and loved ones. America shouldn’t be neutral on stealing children and we definitely shouldn’t protect the kidnappers.
