Stop The Wars! A Letter Sent to Senator Patty Murray

Coretta Scott King is one of my teachers: anti war, pro peace and justice civil rights leader

Dear Senator Murray,

I asked you to take a stand and you sent me back a form letter that could have been written by you in the 1990's about a 2 party solution to the horror show unfolding in Palestine at our expense.

Not a word about equality for everyone in Palestine and Israel. And for my request you go to Israel and see the damage our tax dollars are doing to poor people over there via Israel killing and bombing Palestinians, Lebanese and every other war on your watch.

You could have been Rep. Ro Khanna but you stayed home. What a shame to find your true colors.

Does betraying our values just come with the territory being in office too long?

How fondly I remember the teacher in tennis shoes I voted for years ago.

And now look at you. Lock step with Chuck Schumer and the killing and drilling War Party.

I'm not a Christian, but I think repentance is the right word when I think of your sustained indifference to millions of people we affect with our perpetual War Party.

You could be calling for a trillion dollars spent here at home to restore ecosystems and create jobs for everyone.

Free education for all, housing everyone. Instead you have turned into a roadblock.

Do better Senator.

The world is burning from using fossil fuels and you're supporting policies that are killing my kids.

Not just the US being anathema around the world supporting the bloodthirsty Israeli Nazis.

You could be offering a coherent narrative about solving the existential threats we face as Americans like ending the class war here at home and restoring ecosystems here and around the world.
