Contacting our legislators about the Climate Emergency Resolution, College for All Act and impeachment


Friends,

Today, Janice and I delivered letters written by Progressive Democrats of America to the offices of Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin. A similar letter was also delivered to the offices of Representatives Ruppersberger and Sarbanes.

Should the issues raised be of interest to you, consider sharing the letters to your senators and your representative.  Copies of the letters are below.  Let us know if you do contact your elected officials. Max and Janice

September 26, 2019

The Honorable Senator Chris Van Hollen
1900 N. Howard Street, Suite 100
Baltimore, MD 21218
Dear Senator Van Hollen,

The Honorable Senator Ben Cardin
100 S. Charles St., Suite #1710
Baltimore, MD 21201

Dear Senator Cardin,
As your constituents and coalition members of Progressive Democrats of America, I urge you to cosponsor the Climate Emergency Resolution, the College For All Act of 2019, and ask you to publicly support the impeachment investigations surrounding Donald Trump.

The Climate Emergency requires rapid, decisive action. On behalf of our coalition members in your district, we call on you to cosponsor S. Con. Res 22 the Concurrent Resolution sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders.

“[A] national, social, industrial and economic mobilization of the resources and labor of the United States at a massive scale to halt, reverse, mitigate, and prepare for the consequences of the climate emergency, and to restore the climate for future generations.”

Millions of Americans are saddled by crushing student debt, and one of the best economic engines we can provide is forgiveness of that debt.  Forbes calls this a “crisis” and so do we.  Over $1.5 trillion is owed, effecting 44 million Americans.  Imagine a world where that $1.5 trillion is invested in homes, automobiles, energy-saving upgrades, or even dining out at a local restaurant.  The benefits to the economy will be massive.  Eliminating this debt is just one of the many beneficial features of the College For All Act of 2019 (S. 1947) from Senator Sanders.

And finally, there is no question that Donald Trump has committed impeachable acts just by examining his statements already on the public record, let alone the findings of obstruction of justice in the Mueller report.  Please support a broad but timely impeachment process.  This isn't about party.  It isn't about politics.  It's about rule of law and your constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities to insure that our institutions and our country as a whole are not damaged by an incompetent, self-serving executive.

Respectfully,

Janice Sevre-Duszynska and Max Obuszewski

The Honorable Representative C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger
375 W. Padonia Road
Suite #200
Timonium, MD 21093

Dear Representative Ruppersberger,
The Honorable Representative John Sarbanes
600 Baltimore Avenue
Suite #303
Towson, MD 21204

Dear Representative Sarbanes,

As your constituent, I urge you to cosponsor the Climate Emergency Resolution (H.Con.Res. 52), the Student Debt Cancellation Act of 2019 (H.R. 3448), and ask you to publicly support the impeachment investigations surrounding Donald Trump.

The Climate Emergency requires rapid, decisive action. It demands “[A] national, social, industrial and economic mobilization of the resources and labor of the United States at a massive scale to halt, reverse, mitigate, and prepare for the consequences of the climate emergency, and to restore the climate for future generations.”  So, please sign onto the Climate Emergency Resolution.

Millions of Americans are saddled by crushing student debt, and one of the best economic engines we can provide is forgiveness of that debt.  Forbes calls this a “crisis” and so do we.  Over $1.5 trillion is owed, effecting 44 million Americans.  Imagine a world where that $1.5 trillion is invested in homes, automobiles, energy-saving upgrades, or even dining out at a local restaurant.  The benefits to the economy will be massive.  So please sign onto the Student Debt Cancellation Act of 2019. 

And finally, there is no question that Donald Trump has committed impeachable acts just by examining his statements already on the public record, let alone the findings of obstruction of justice in the Mueller report.  Please support a broad but timely impeachment process.  This isn't about party.  It isn't about politics.  It's about rule of law and your constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities to insure that our institutions and our country as a whole are not damaged by an incompetent, self-serving executive. 

Respectfully,

Janice Sevre-Duszynska and Max Obuszewski
