Dear Senator Toomey,
When I originally wrote to you shortly after the election in 2016 to express my grave concerns about the suitability of the then president-elect for the position he had gained under very suspicious circumstances, you quite diplomatically made note of Hillary Clinton’s own thoughts on the matter:
“When talking about the President-elect during her concession speech, Hillary Clinton said that “we owe him an open mind and the chance to lead” and that she hopes “he will be a successful president for all Americans.”
You went on to state: “I agree with her sentiments and look forward to working together to help improve the lives of all Pennsylvanians”
Those were noble sentiments from both of you and I honestly hoped the sense of optimism and decency that each of you expressed would be borne out by future events.
For the past 18 months, though, we have all been watching and waiting for that man, occupying the most powerful position on the planet, to grow-up and grow into the grave responsibilities of his office. Every day the lies, the scandals, the corruption, and the cruel brutality of the man and his coterie of self-serving cronies become ever more evident and more destructive to the values and ideals shared by ALL Americans of every political persuasion.
His latest and most blatant act in defiance of the oath that he swore to protect and defend the Constitution proves beyond any doubt (to anyone with the courage to face the truth) what many of us have suspected all along: He is NOT our president. He IS (either willfully or through sheer, arrogant ignorance) an agent of a foreign and hostile power.
In light of these facts, I would like to remind you of the parting thought you expressed in your letter to me from January 27 of 2017:
“ – as well as standing up against the President-elect when he does not carry out his duties appropriately.”
The italics are mine as is this question: Precisely when do you intend to stand-up against this traitorous debacle of a man? Words will no longer suffice. Action is required of you and all those who put the good of our country first.
As your Constituents and your fellow Americans, we are waiting.
Sincerely,
James P. Shafer
