Dear Mr. President,
I'm feeling too disgusted to write a really meaningful
letter today. Jeff Sessions' testimony
to Congress yesterday was a non-starter for me.
Just more of the same blather with no substance or resolution. I now understand why most Americans are so
apathetic about politics. I've heard for
years from people that "it doesn't matter", "they're all the
same", "nothing is going to
change", and I'm finally starting to
believe them.
Then there is the shooting this morning of Republican
members of Congress who were at baseball practice in Virginia. I know absolutely nothing about the shooter,
his mental state, or his motives...but I DO know that if we had reasonable gun
control laws in this country he wouldn't have been armed and nobody would have
been hurt. How many innocent people have
to be injured or killed before we take a stand against guns?
It's just not in me today to write anything good. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
