The GOP's endless use of inquisitions as political hit squads & to intimidate Government employees

in the performance of their duties - is a threat to our Democracy. Anybody interested in standing up for rational, responsible, democraticly elected government should contact their Senators and Representatives to register your outrage at the Republican party's use of totalitarian tactics in the furtherance of the plutocracy they are prostitutes for.

Below are links to directories of Senators and Representatives email addresses and phone numbers. I urge everyone to use emails andor phone messages to tell your representatives they should speak out against this assault on our system of government based upon constitutional protections of individual liberties from Government abuses of power to achieve political gain. Political exigencies should not be the basis for the interpretation and enforcement of laws and government regulations.

(BTW: For those who have succumbed to ennui, please do me the kindness of not subjecting me to your rationalizations for your apathy. This kindness would be much appreciated.)

us--both Dem and Republican.

Repugs on the committee today kept saying--my constituents back home....bla bla. (the ones they noted were the folks who did not believe the FBI investigation). We do need to contact our Reps and Senators of all stripes. Enough is enough!

phone messages and emails, and didn't hold back on my anger. We need to let our representatives know we are listening and are angry about the GOP's tactics - which ARE a threat to our democracy.
