Mr. President, Republicans, Democrats, and my Fellow Americans – in 6.5 Tweets:
It is with a heavy heart that I come before you today as an American first and a Republican second to tell you that if we keep going in the direction we are going, then our democracy will fall. Like the Roman Empire we will be no more. Since we seem to digest things in 140 characters, I will try to be brief. We ask our soldiers to sacrifice their life for our country. It appears our congressmen and senators, particularly my fellow Republicans, are unwilling to stand up and do the right thing. Our soldiers have real bullets coming at them and the only thing members of congress have to lose is their job and a bruised ego. If our soldiers are asked to make the ultimate sacrifice why can’t congress? Congress, you have deserted your responsibility, honesty, and integrity. The penalty for desertion in war is death or jail time. Some might just call you cowards. Doing the right thing takes courage and leadership, and is not a popularity contest. All of us will have to stand before our maker one day and what will you say? You be the judge.
