We should all copy this and mail it to him (acknowledging it is your letter, of course). Obviously, one letter from one person hasn't gotten his attention but if hundreds came in, it would be hard to ignore. I certainly could not have written anything as concise and thorough.

Use it freely, Kathy and add to it. We must demand accountability and accept nothing else. Failure is NOT an option.

We should use Joyce’s letter as the template but not verbatim as that doesn’t have the impact of individualizing our letters.

Thank you Joyce.

Joyce Strong's avatar

Yes, I agree Barney. Feel free to use my letter as a template and include your own ideas and observations.

I served under President Reagan and kept the watch for all Americans. President Reagan was many things(some good others not so much)but he was not a traitor to the republic. I understand the silence of the brass. They hold on to another timeline. But, this is different. A gun is being pointed to our republic and only a stronger force can stop that crime.

Guillermo thank you for your service and for this comment. These are different times. You are correct. ❤️❤️❤️

When this is all behind us and we embody “The Shining City on a Hill” that is our destiny, I believe we will say, “Isn’t it wonderful? Isn’t it wonderful how Joyce stood up and brought millions with her that turned the tide and upheld our democracy?” I’m envisioning that. Thank you.

We are in this together, sister. One Love. Thanks for all you do.

What should we do to sign on @Joyce Strong

Your letters are always well documented and to the point. I agree with you and am so disappointed in what some members of the military are concurring with. Accountability begins with the leadership.

Joyce Strong's avatar

Thank you Virginia. We have to keep up the pressure ❤️❤️❤️

Trump’s racist invasions of American cities have nothing to do with stopping crime. Trump’s intent: execute a nationwide coup to replace the USA’s Constitutional Republic with a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.

Donald Trump began his coup by attempting to prevent a joint session of Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. When his insurrection failed, he pardoned the violent criminals who—in response to his call—had attacked the 1/6/2021 Joint Session of Congress.

Some of these vicious criminals are now ICE-deployed bounty hunters—a Gestapo-like private police force directed by Donald Trump to ignore the law, to ignore every individual’s due-process rights, to kidnap People of Color and make them disappear before the Courts can learn of their existence.

Trump has appointed leaders of his failed 1/6/2021 Insurrection to major posts in his criminal administration. His MAGA base includes an irretrievably corrupted Supreme Court; it includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet, hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of MAGA Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.

Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGA racists are working with Trump to end America’s Constitutional Republic.

The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his MAGAts, the crimes they have committed, and the crimes they continue to commit. This majority will not rest until Trump is impeached, removed from office, prosecuted, convicted, and thrown into prison.

Thank you so much Joyce. So proud of you even though I am not an American. Love from Australia. Wonder if the general will read and come to his senses. Hope all the generals and the whole military will read your letter. And say no. We will not obey.

Joyce Strong's avatar

We must continue to stand up and demand accountability. I appreciate your love and support, Irena! You are the best!

Blue lynx's avatar

Thank You for speaking Truth to Power! I will also copy the letter, acknowledging it is your letter, and send it to him as well.👍

Joyce Strong's avatar

Thank you Blue lynx. We need to keep the pressure on and let the military know we expect them to honor their oath to the constitution. Every voice counts and makes the message stronger!

Joonbug's avatar

Wow, Joyce - this is really beautiful! Thank you. I will do it too.

Joyce Strong's avatar

Thank you Joonbug!

Elizabeth Goodden's avatar

I’m going to copy this like a chain letter and add my name below yours, then send it return receipt USPS. Thank you Joyce, it is well past time for this orange asshole to go!🥰❤️

Joyce Strong's avatar

Thank you Elizabeth.

What worries and scares me is, what if the general is all in on this. Does anyone know where he stands on these issues?

Jacqueline Powell's avatar

Perfect summary!

Joyce Strong's avatar

Thank you Jacqueline!

Robert Reed's avatar

This letter is clearly and concisely written. Let's hope that someone in a position of power finally stands up and says, "No More!" This has gone on far too long, and must stop immediately.

Jill Munn's avatar

I was reading that fat guy he was driving to the general it's retired so I wonder who the current one is a trump loyal I'm sure

Mr. Trump may be thinking a lot about the “other ‘n’ word.” I’m sure he thinks that he absolutely controls the decision to use American nuclear weapons.

America has not used nuclear weapons due to “woke pacifism,” I’m sure he thinks. His statement that Vietnam and Afghanistan were “easy wins” today was not a nod at his personal brilliance with military strategy, but the use of massive destructive force.

Will we make a strategic nuclear attack on Hamas in Gaza? Will MAGA and the GOP salute?

Joyce Strong's avatar

Chilling. Yet we must look and break through the denial of the level of evil we are dealing with. Thanks for imagining worst case scenarios, Steve. ❤️❤️❤️

Steve O’Cally's avatar

Sure. With Trump, what are the limits to his “scope of action?” None. Whatever he has, he tries to use. If he lights off a nuclear device, nobody outside the USA will blame Trump. They will blame America.

Joyce Strong's avatar

Thanks for your comment Steve. I worry about this day and night. ❤️❤️❤️

Steve O’Cally's avatar

Is there an informal “fail-safe” in the stepwise execution of a presidential command to strike with nuclear weapons?

Wouldn’t a thermonuclear strike in Gaza be the biggest of Big Theater, bigger than 9/11?

Might he think that the use of nuclear weapons might awe the world into submission- “Hey, this guy’s the REAL DEAL, he doesn’t mess around!” Miller and Hegseth will perch like the Angels of Death on both sides, whispering.

Maybe even practice a little on Portland?

Bravo

Diane McConnell's avatar

Well said. Maybe he’ll actually read it, and take it to heart.

We need one good man, well placed as he is, to stand up for the Constitution.

Joyce Strong's avatar

Thank you Diane. ❤️❤️❤️
