Congressman Ryan Mackenzie treats me like an idiot

Dear Ryan:

Thanks for your unequivocal denunciation of political violence. It is too common.

Your Sept 8 letter to me is insulting. It is a crappy deflection. Similar to the deflection you made about the tariffs. (Refer your concerns to the executive branch.) Other than legislation, one of your primary responsibilities is to investigate and provide oversight to the executive branch. (Another is "to lay and collect tariffs.")

ICE having spyware to use surreptitiously without warrant is unacceptable. Implied by your note is you are comfortable knowing ICE will use spyware to spy on American citizens and non-citizens in the US without warrant.

You wrote "If a specific piece of legislation is introduced in the United States Congress about which you feel strongly, I welcome you to contact me again to share your opinion." Am welcome to contact you about whatever, whenever. Your response is passive aggressive dreck.

To imply this is not a topic that I should raise with my congressman is phooey, malarkey, bunk, baloney, hogwash, and balderdash.

Thanks for the response.

Enjoy your day,

John Gilda

Dear Dave, Thank your for your two responses of October 10. The Republican Congress lost track of math. Since this start of this session, the Administration and Congress have been chest-jutting and belly-slapping like there is a mandate. As you know from your very narrow election victory, there is no

Dangerous opaque orders to make lists of American citizens based on broad criteria that could equate free speech with terrorism.

Dear Representatives: What is your position on NSPM-7? You should be concerned. Senator Slotkin Senate floor speech: “The Trump administration define[s] domestic terrorism incredibly broadly...It suggests that any group that talks about anti-Christian values, views they don’t like on migration or race, differing views on the role
