Dear Senator Britt,
I write to you to express my dismay at your support of President Trump’s executive actions. Here are two examples.
1. First, thank you for your response to my earlier email. I found that the content of that response to be dismally lacking in fact, parroting the “declarations” by President Trump of wholesale waste, fraud, and inefficiency in the various agencies of our federal government and referring to “foreign entities and radical leftwing causes.” No one in the administration or DOGE is bothering to cite specific examples of these deficiencies. Forgive me, but my experience with the first Trump presidency makes it difficult for me to accept these declarations as true.
2. I see where you have introduced legislation attempting to codify the removal of birthright citizenship as guaranteed in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Refer to an episode of Throughline, NPR's history podcast on birthright citizenship. After much thought, I believe revoking that clause implies none of us are citizens. Going back to our earliest ancestors to come to America, their children would not have been citizens. Nor would their children, and theirs, and so on until the present generation.
I could go on, but you get the idea. In my opinion and with apologies to our Latin American neighbors, President Trump is acting more like a banana republic “El Presidente.” He lies and his minions, including Elon Musk, repeat those lies.
Please do your job. Exercise some oversight into the Executive Branch and please, please find a spine.
