Contacting your Congressional Representative and Senators

I regretfully feel I have to post this yet again.
Another person simply using their phone to record someone being threatened has been shot and killed in the streets of an American city by a government official. It’s once again time to make your feelings known to those who represent you, or at least time for me to.

Here is a copy of my short and direct note. You may feel free to copy and paste if you wish:

Dear _____,

Yet another person has been murdered in cold blood in the streets of an American city. Our U.S. government is killing its citizens for simply being in the streets, exercising a constitutionally guaranteed right, and making their opinions known. This is not who we are, nor what we wish to become. Please use your position to put a stop to this. You are our voice. You, your neighbor or even I could be next. Silence is complicit.
Respectfully,
Your name

 

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.”
—— Martin Niemöller —— German Theologian and Lutheran Pastor

I Believe in the Power of Love

Yesterday while driving the better half and I were discussing our experiences  with discrimination as gay men, his experiences as a Latino and my experience as a white male. Being gay men we can empathize about discrimination to a point, but we agreed we can never fully understand what it is to be black.

What we can do is acknowledge that we don’t have the same plight, but we can stand for what is right. We can speak out against injustice. We can love, support and stand with our black brothers and sisters. We can believe in the power of Love.

A message from the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” …..Martin Niemöller

Speak out now before there is no one left to speak for you. Your life really does depend on it.
