A woman in Michigan has come up with a great idea that I’d like to pass along.
It’s brilliant and something we can all do if you are fed up with the trite “thoughts and prayers” (TAP) being offered by our “leaders” as a solution to the mass killings of children.
She sent a LETTER to Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Michigan) which said,
“Dear Rep. Bergman:
“Since you and your colleagues in Congress seem to feel that this is the solution to mass murder, please accept this contribution.”
She enclosed a check to her congressman. Instead of a dollar amount, however, she simply wrote in “Thoughts and Prayers.”
She said she did it because “I’m hearing the same arguments after each and every time this happens.”
The letter quickly went viral and a woman in Florida said she was sending the same “contribution” to Sen. Marco Rubio.
Here are the addresses of Louisiana’s congressional delegation, in case you wish to follow suit:
Sen. Bill Cassidy:
520 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Sen. John Kennedy:
383 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Rep. Steve Scalise:
2338 Rayburn HOB
Washington, DC 20515
Rep. Clay Higgins:
1711 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Rep. Mike Johnson:
327 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Rep. Ralph Abraham:
417 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Rep. Garrett Graves:
430 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Rep. Cedric Richmond:
420 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
P.S. And don’t forget, not only do these people for the most part (with the possible exception of Richmond) avoid addressing the elephant in the room that is the easy access to semi-automatic weapons for fear of offending the NRA, but they also aided and abetted Trump in passing a budget that critically slashes funding for mental health treatment.
