I just wrote my REPUBLICAN congressmen again regarding the Tax Plan for Trumps Donors

And I am so sorry now, that I even live here. Here is my latest letter to Senator Bill Cassidy, Senator John Kennedy and House Representative Garrett Graves who welcomed Zinke to Louisiana to help with coastal restoration. What a joke that was. I am embarrassed. My letter:

Regarding the Trump Tax Payoff to Trump’s Donors:

We vote NO as do the majority of Americans. But, we also know, that when we read our Sunday newspaper (which prints your votes) it will note that YOU voted against the majority of Louisianans and Americans. Why do you continue to do this?

The Treasurer, nominated by Trump, Steve Mnuchin, has finally agreed to the numbers that the Joint Tax Committee said this plan would create. Did you see that? Many corporations say to vote NO, that they DO NOT need the money. But the average American does, and THIS plan does not help the average American. It takes money AWAY from us.

Alabama just voted for a Democrat, Doug Jones. And if Mitch McConnell does NOT seat Doug Jones for this very important vote, then Alabamians have no voice in this tax plan. When you vote FOR it, you have voted against the majority of Americans, have voted totally against Alabamians and voted FOR Steve Bannon.

We see this and we remember.

This plan is ONLY being rushed in for Trump so he can have a “win”. For Trump? Seriously? For the Mercers? FOR FRICKIN BANNON??? Those idiots? They don’t deserve a “win”.

A major tax overhaul SHOULD be respected, should be vetted, should NOT screw the middle class and we would think that you guys truly cared about the middle class, the elderly, the uninsured, the children. We would think that, but we now know it isn’t true.

If you noticed lately, there is a referendum, a “revolution” so to speak happening across this country. The people are NOT going to back or allow sexual predators to ruin OUR country. We are not going to allow our air quality and our rivers and streams to be polluted. We are NOT going to allow Russia/Trump to control OUR United States of America.

And after last night, the Doug Jones victory, you guys really need to pay attention or you, too, will be voted out of office.

Politics is cyclic. And the cycle is NOW moving towards the Democratic view. It’s definitely moving away from Trump and Bannon nationalistic beliefs. Get on board. Vote NO on this rushed through Tax Relief for Political Donors bill. Do NOT ruin the backbone of America with these false lies. Pay attention to the majority and not to Trump and Bannon. Because we WILL remember.

Thank you.

I admire your effort. If you were dealing with someone rational, I'd say the items in your letter would be considered, but unfortunately the only thing that matters to these repubs, are the funds they're seeking from their wealthy donors. They are who the bill is for, and people will realize that when their taxes increase.

The vote count won't be verified (not sure if that is the right word) until 12/26. The major thing is McConnell is trying to please just the donors and is ignoring public opinion polls on the bill. Most americans are against the bill. Not wise to rush something through without thought of the consequences
