To Montana Congressional Delegation

September 16, 2025 by Guest Post

by Gary Swartz, Missoula

I realize that your national Republican bosses cautioned you about holding Town Hall meetings during the August recess, I believe that your decision to do that makes you complicit in Trump’s destruction of the US Federal Government.

Let’s face the facts:

Donald Trump is a con man who surrounds himself with Yes Men; you are now some of them.

As a failed businessman, convicted felon, convicted sex offender and chronic liar, he leads by fear and intimidation. You and your fellow national leaders have a responsibility to stand up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Thankfully, some federal courts have challenged several of Trump’s attempts to violate civil rights. That can’t be said of this rubberstamp Congress.

Trump stated this week that some Americans would favor a dictatorship. What!? I’ve never heard anything of the sort during my 75 years of Montana citizenship. His corruption of the Department of Justice and the FBI to target his critics is unconscionable.

As a Veteran, I’m shocked by Trump’s actions against military leaders of color and women.

Voters will review your performance in the November 2026 midterms and say “Enough is enough.”

    If you want to see our representatives more often stop trying to murder them.
    From the shooting of Congressmen in 2017 when Gianforte was in DC to the assassination attempts of Trump + Kirk, left wingers aren’t exactly making the case they deserve in person attention from anyone in office.
