Freedom of speech is only one of the rights we still have access to today. Each day, some new atrocity occurs. Today, an American president stated that he plans to reinstate a 1748 law that states all people who are not “like him” can be placed in interment camps like the Japanese were in W.W.2. This law has been enacted three times: 1748, WW1, and WW2. In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan declared this law to be unconstitutional and that it should never be used again. He, the congress, and the senate worked together to declare this as law. Millions of dollars in reparation were given to Americans who, because of their race, had been subjected to concentration camps within the United States. Reagan stated this law should NEVER be enacted again. Today, trump said he will enact this law again now.
If you are a Democrat or a Republican, may God bless you. However, if you are a Republican who stands behind the evil that is invading our country, I beg you to make it stop! Find a new Republican, like Reagan, who actually cared for the people in this country. Was he perfect… no, but he was not a monster. I have seen many atrocities take place in my life, but this… my tears will never cease to fall. Our country will fail because we are now divided. We must unite for good, reject the bad, and not let the bullies win. I know many, many republicans who are stalwart, strong, and believe in our constitution and our laws. Please, let’s take a moment to think of ourselves not as democrats and republicans but as citizens of the United States of America. We do not want a king, we do not want an oligarchy, we want our lives, our children’s lives, our grandchildren’s lives to be lived out in a free democratic country that cares and provides for all of its citizens. I am at the point of begging the republicans in Congress and in the Senate to stop, take a breath, and see what is happening in this country. Do you stand behind the people in the USA, or do you stand behind policies that are, in fact, destroying democracy and our United States of America. As tears drip down the face of the Statue of Liberty, as U.S. citizens cringe in fear, we must unite, we must stand together as one united country. We must say that trump must step down, musk must go, and whoever the vp is, he needs to be replaced as well. There are many, many Republicans who are worthy of this office. I have no doubt that if we had an election between only republican candidates, we would find one fit to serve as our president. The one who now holds this most sacred of offices, cares only for himself and his best friend, putin. I pray my words are not dismissed and taken lightly. I care about each of you, and I desperately want our country to once again be the known as the United States of America, a place where democracy governs, and we, the people, still have rights and freedoms. These of which are protected by our Constitution.
Blessings, S.K.E.
