In opposition to Trump


Dear Editor,

The book I am reading, “Spin Dictators,” reveals President Trump and his administration are implementing actions and policies used by many current dictators to rule over their people.

It shows how Project 2025 authors like White House Budget Director Russ Vought and FCC Chair, Brendan Carr created action plans like those of existing dictators. They are consolidating power in the White House so Washington can tell us what we can view, read, learn, and say; even how businesses, nonprofits, and universities can operate!

Last Tuesday, Trump stated, “We’re under invasion from within...” he intends to send the military to target us, and talked about having our armed forces kill Americans. Saturday, ICE forces woke up dozens of Americans in a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night, zip tying whole families to find two gang members. Totally unAmerican!

The reconciliation Big Bad Bill takes health insurance away from 14 million Americans and raises prices for 20 million. Call or Email your congressional representatives, tell them to support the bill in the Senate that will fund Affordable Care Act subsidies and Medicaid, and reopen the government.

Then, reread the Declaration of Independence and see how many of the, “long train of abuses and usurpations,” by the then king of England, Trump is now doing. Join fellow citizens for the October 18th, No Kings rally in your community and if there isn't one, organize one. Americans freed themselves from a king in 1776, continue the Revolution, oppose the wanna-be king!
