Support . . .

Dear Mr. Jozwiak,

. . . in the face of the President Trump’s incredibly disconcerting behavior, we must fight for our values as a nation. I have long believed that good leaders are humble, not haughty. Good leaders have the courage to stay out of step when everyone else is marching to the wrong tune. Good leaders don’t divide people, they unite them. They don’t build walls, they build history. Moreover, good leaders remember the Golden Rule: to treat others as they would wish to be treated. If President Trump wants to be a president for all Americans—as he promised on election night—he would do well to adhere to this. But whether he does so or not, we must do everything we can to ensure that all Americans receive equal protection under the law. Moving forward, I will continue to work to hold both the President and his Administration accountable for something the American people expect and deserve: a federal government run with transparency and integrity. . .

With best personal regards, I am,

Sincerely,

Tom Carper
United States Senator

Mercilessly . . .

. . . imposing . . .

Days of endless potential
Face me constantly it seems
Without the imposition of
Schedules and deadlines
There is freedom to accomplish
Whatever demands are revealed
At any moment
And the promise of fulfillment
Resulting in ultimate contentment
It's merciless

Merciless

Another . . .

. . . room

Writing this letter
To tell you how much
That I think of you

Every light,
Every glimmer
And sparkle
Reminds me of you

In spectacular sunsets,
At the dusk of the day
Or the glorious morning
As the mist melts away
There your smile is

All your movements
Are poetry,
Gracefully pleasant to see
When combined with your wit
One is entertained consistently
How I wish you were,
Right now, here with me,
But wait . . .

Sometimes I'm so overwhelmingly
Consumed by these thoughts
And I wish I could hold you
So badly, so close
That I fail to remember
An obvious fact
You're not far, far away
Over land, over sea,
But just footsteps from me
In the very next room

Two. . .

. . . and a half years . . .

Seems to me, that for the two-plus years that the orange man has been the center of national attention, that our press (which, by the way we actually DO need to remain active and free) should have learned ways to better convey to the American public the character of this individual. At this writing, some outlets have improved in some ways; but how could they not, considering how ridiculous some of his antics have become. My advice is, that when a statement is issued, (for example . . . "he blamed US policy -- not Putin -- for the dismal state of relations between the two countries. . ."[from https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/16/politics/donald-trump-putin-helsinki-summit/index.html])
for which an opportunity is not provided the press for questions, a note be made. The outrageous statement should then be questioned in the very next press conference, be it with a spokesperson or 45 himself. If (and this will most certainly be the case) a clear, logical answer is not provided, the question should be asked (not necessarily during the same press conference) each time the press has an opportunity to ask questions. When the spokespeople or 45 lose patience with hearing the same question and have still not provided a REAL answer, the reporter(s) must clearly and unequivocally explain that a proper answer has not, to date, been provided and that the American people demand as much.

In Response . . .

. . . to recent coverage of ejection of a news reporter from a press event for asking 'tough' questions and comments made by the 'team' in DC . . .

(from http://www.wiseoldsayings.com/respect-quotes/)
"Tolerance only for those who agree with you is no tolerance at all. "
-Ray Davis

"Men are respectable only as they respect."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

“That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong. "
-William J. H. Boetcker

“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say."
-Bryant H. McGill

“Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned, not given."
-Hussein Nishah
