Summer Fun
“If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain. Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought. Instead of fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place. A fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power. Of commitment to seek justice for victims. Of dedication to truth above all else.” --Maurene Comey

Marjorie Taylor Greene says that her office has been contacted more about the Epstein files than any other issue. I feel safe in saying that the vast majority of those contacts – if not all – have come from members of the maga cult. It is likely that other maga politicians in the House and Senate are hearing from cult members, too. Now it is our turn.
We need to be contacting our elected officials. This includes your representatives, Democrats and republicans alike. We need to be communicating specific messages. Granted, it may be a more detailed message to those in our party. For example, we should say, “No pardon for Maxwell” to members of both parties, while requesting that Democrats call on Maurene Comey to testify in public. Since she was the federal prosecutor in the Maxwell case, she would know the most about the case.
There are three easy ways to contact representatives in DC. These include phone calls, e-mails, and “snail mail.” A simple message saying “no pardon” can be sent on a postcard. An e-mail can focus more on the specific Epstein/Maxwell files that need to be made public. A phone call can explain why those files are needed. This makes clear that we will not be distracted by nonsense about grand jury transcripts.
What do we want? Let's make a list:
No pardon.
Open the Palm Beach, Florida documents from their 2005 investigation of Epstein and Maxwell.
Call Alex Acosta to testify about who told him that Epstein was intelligence, and how that impacted his decision-making in the case.
Open all of the files from the FBI investigations of Epstein and Maxwell.
Open the files from the Southern District of New York and the New York City police department.
Request that they make a public statement advocating for a full disclosure.
Some of you are experienced in contacting your elected representatives. You know the drill. Please get drilling. For others, it may feel mildly uncomfortable at first. But once you get started, it feels good. Tell your family and friends to take this simple step. Shake the dust off your sneakers if Eeyore says, “That does no good.” It is covered in Amendment 1. It is there for a reason. Like voting, it does good. Not doing these things is the only thing that does no good.
If someone says the House is on vacation, remind them that the country is not. One can still send postcards, e-mails, and leave voice messages at any time, from every where. You can do it alone, or with other like-minded people. We could even have a group of people, here on this very forum, who post about the actions they take and any responses they get.
Citizens need to insist that the cards be put on the table. We will play this winning hand.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Even though I know all my Representatives and both Senators are already supportive of your ideas, it can't hurt to remind them how urgent this is.
Again, I thank you.
