It is astounding, ironic, and utterly despicable that people we’ve elected — and whom we rely on to serve the public interest — are actively working to undermine trust in our government. These are people like Roger Skraba and Pete Stauber, who are too cowardly to condemn Trump’s pathetic claims of a “stolen” election.

As our entire nation races toward the imagined “Finish Line” of the upcoming presidential election, atrocities continue in the Middle East at an alarming scale, with no end in sight. We’ve spent obscene levels of campaign dollars that vanish into an abyss of ignorant, fear-mongering, foul, and hateful words, while millions of people in war torn regions of the world face horrific levels of devastation and mass starvation.
