PEARL HARBOR TWO
To members of the Senate and the House of Representatives:*
Yesterday, April 17th, 2024—a date we will not soon forget—the United States of America was deliberately attacked by over half the United States Senate, violating their oath of office and the Constitution of the nation by continuing to allow our borders to be abridged by people of foreign nations.
The United States was at peace with its laws and still in conversation with its Governmental bodies and looking toward the maintenance of law and order in our country. Indeed, in one short session the Senate destroyed the very meaning of a deliberative body by excusing the actions of a member of the administrative cabinet who was, and still is, in total violation of multiple immigration laws.
Within minutes after this dastardly deed, it became obvious that no law would apply to the Armed Forces or any other institution of the Federal Government. Do Senators of the Democratic Party truly want military officers to violate the law and the Constitution? Pandoras Box is now wide open.
It will be recorded that the attack may have been deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the administration has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued power and management.
This may not be Pearl Harbor, but close to it. And while it seems useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it may not be too late for the Senate to reverse its decision and save the Republic.

PS: It would certainly be nice if a citizen could write an email to more than one congressman at a time without having to fill out the time-consuming form on each member’s web site, and then to have the message round filed when received from a foreign U.S. state. After all, members serve on several different committees on various topics.
Note: This message sent to all Dem. Senators and several popular Repub. Senators on or about 2 May ’24.
