I’m just writing to tell you I’m proud that Al Green is my congressman. He lives on the east side of Houston and I live in the far west over 20 miles away at a district neatly gerrymandered by Tom Delay, my original congressman, who spent his time partying and getting rich before being convicted, and then pardoned for misuse of funds.
Republicans don’t even run against Green. He reports all his congressional actions promptly to all of us by email. But I don’t recall him ever asking me for money. It’s kind of an insult, isn’t it? He’s always there in a crisis helping the poorest of the poor in the Houston Area. He never forgot where he comes from. Leads peaceful protests and celebrations from that neighborhood often. And if we had a problem in my neighborhood, he would be here for us, too.
Al Green has already entered the articles of impeachment of Donald Trump like he did last time that failed. And he seems to be the only one who is the most courageous and willing to stand up against Plan 2025 that has no clothes along with its instigator and master puppeteer. During his censure, only Democrats joined him in song against what is happening. Will they be censured as well? Not a single Republican seems willing to understand what is happening. The beginning of ethnic cleansing and intolerance that signals the loss of constitutional protection, checks and balances, and equality that our democracy stands for.
We are on the verge of a dictatorship where the rule is simple. Loyalty is demanded. While praise and flattery are heaped on the unfortunate, name calling, lies about the facts, and unreasonable punishment of those who do not fall in line are the slippery path that we are on as a country towards dictatorship with an oligarchy of wealthy behind the scenes pulling the strings.
For those of you have IRAs, we are feeling the sting of all of the rash actions with a drastic short fall in our retirement reserves. Apparently all the big donors were told to sell short so that they can benefit from what they knew was going to happen when they all sold together. It’s a way that the rich have been stealing from the average middle class investor for many years, unchecked. Musk is smiling all the way the bank while his Tesla stock is plummeting. His eye is on all the government contracts he will get without proper oversight. Meanwhile, his SpaceX contracts are headed for cost overruns rather than efficiency.
For those who voted for Donald Trump and Republican senators and congress persons because you didn’t feel like you were well off in the Biden administration. It appears you have stepped from the firing pan into the fire. Right now, all indications in the marketplace seem to be much worse than they ever were during the Biden administration even under the worldwide stress of Covid-19.
Ask yourself, “Am I better off now than I was then?” If you aren’t, I suggest you understand why the people need to be behind impeaching a very dangerous man before you won’t be able to do it anymore and elections will not be allowed to be free anymore and bipartisan. Controlled by poll watchers finding out who is loyal and who is not.
Goodbye land of the free and land of the brave. Hello land of the sniffing loyal money grabbers. Since when did money make anyone happier? There are lots of folks whose basic needs in this country are not even met. And only immigrants doing the lion’s share of the work anymore with most Americans just waiting for their paycheck every Friday.

Did you know over half of the demoncrat party are millionaires or multi-millionaires? If they are so concerned with their poor citizens, which they aren't, and instead have enslaved them through hardworking taxpayer handouts and welfare,—why aren't they digging deep into their pockets instead of robbing their citizens through unconstitutional taxes, SS, Medicare, and Medicaid?
Greene should have been "caned" and put to bed without dinner! Just kidding, keep yourself busy!
Washington is full of political theater, drama kings and queens who thrive off doing what they can to ‘act’ the parts they portray. And many do an excellent job.
Al Green is true to his party…as are many others, on both sides of the aisle. Heehee! Wave that cane, bro! Made you proud, huh? Smh! I saw nothing from the left that made me proud for any of them, a disgrace to Americana. No bipartisanship when real Americans were there to be commended for their bravery in spite of their great losses. Only applauds for Ukraine…made me wonder just how many got greenbacks while all those hundreds of billions were flowing from sea to shining sea.
I personally am better off than I have been since 2007.
I voted for DJT because I am a Christian conservative, who does not embrace men marrying men, men in women’s sports, men in women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, showers, etc.
I voted for DJT because I believe what the Bible says, “God made male and female”. We are born male or female. The insanity which is flowing through this whole world is evidence of the judgments of God being poured out, and when God does that, He starts at the top.
It’s funny but not funny how even God labels “the left and the right”…and society actually fills both slots accordingly.
So, hunker down, Dems/Libs/Rinos, this ride for the next 4 years will indeed prove as The Carpenters sang, “we’ve only just begun”…all hell is waiting in the shadows as the losers come to light, and will be proven that all their lies, money laundering, kickbacks, spiffs, and abundance for the past however many years, will not be their savior when all is said and done. The rich get richer…let’s do a financial inventory of ALL of Congress…would be an interesting enlightenment for sure.
For years I’ve asked, “who will stop the MADNESS?”
The pendulum has swung to the right…I pray that it accomplishes a great feat in the process. Never forget, “for what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
May God have mercy on America!
Keep writing, Ron! 🇺🇸👏🇺🇸
