Honorable Representative of Ohio’s 10th District, Mike Turner,
I’m urgently writing you a public letter today because we need your help. Republicans have a chance to stave off the worst damage of a Trump, Vance and Musk presidency, but that chance is slimming. With each new cabinet member approved and sworn in, the American people lose more and more safety, security, and any potential to stop the long term consequences of Trump and Musk’s actions.
Right now, most Republicans are allowing Trump and Musk to fleece the American public. Unelected people have all our financial data, our most sensitive data. Through inaction, Republicans are helping to dismantle programs that Americans need to survive. USAID helped American farmers, American people. Now Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act are set to be cut. We need these programs. Millions of elders, families, and disabled people rely on those programs to survive. Right now, Republicans don’t seem to care.
Mike, we need you to stand up against your party leadership. I know, that seems like career d3ath, but there is nothing to gain by holding out till later, or allowing this to happen unchecked— it will all be gone if you and others do not stand up now. Everyone will remember your inaction.
You were the chair on the Intelligence Committee. You protected us then. Protect us now. They booted you off the committee because they wanted to hand the Ukraine and Europe to Russia. Trump is a backdoor President to allow Putin to threaten Europe unchecked.
YOU can stop him.
Be strong. Go against your party right now. Block their votes so their candidates for cabinet positions cannot be approved. If you don’t, there might not be anything to save later. Even if it it upsets your party, please stop what is happening in Washington.
It doesn’t matter if we are Republican or Democrat or Independent, what is happening is affecting the structure of the United States and is dismantling it to allow Trump and Musk to have absolute power. Please step in. Or there may be nothing left in the aftermath, and you will have no power to act.
Quick, please, while there’s still time. Act.
Yours, Jerome Stueart, Dayton, OH

The woman in the middle is Pat Rousseau and this past Sunday, she died. This photo was our first, with Mary Malone, and only meeting of the Sunday Afternoon Neon Movies Watching Group, called The Neon Nexus, which was going to be a summer long movie watching group. But Pat went in and out of the hospital for most of the summer, and then quite unexpectedly to me, and to many, she didn’t recover from this last trip. She’d come to me a month ago with her wishes for me to sing at her funeral, and I was appalled that she was talking like that, especially since she seemed fine after one of her hospital visits–but she said, “I just have a feeling.”
