Open letter to Daines

March 3, 2026 by Guest Post 3 Comments

by Ruth Hazelton, Hamilton

Senator Daines, I did not hear you speak publicly to your president, urging him to go to Congress for permission to bomb the capital city of Iran. What I DID see was your yawn as you watched your president speak at what could not be honestly called the State of the Union address to the nation. We know it, traditionally, to be a true assessment of where we find ourselves as a people in a proud democracy. You have not earned my vote to return to DC for another term, and I shall do everything I can to defeat you.

    Ruth, to openly speak regarding security measures would openly flaw the operation! Has it occurred to you that we have internal hopes of failure?? Did you boo the Hockey Team? Sure glad they didn’t broadcast their Game plan to Canada. Hmmmm

    Daines, just like most politicians in washington, are bought and sold by israel. this attack on iran is something that israel has wanted for decades. they have pushed a false narrative and the us is dumb enough to fall for it. The us soldiers were killed serving a foreign government. There was never an imminent threat and this only serves israel’s goal of border expansion.

    Hysterical…. Go to Congress, even though he did not need to for this operation as the precedent has been set by Obama. Also, your party leaks like a sieve, actively has terrorists on its roster in Omar and Jayapal not to mention Eric Swalwell’s girlfriend is a Chinese spy.
    I’m pretty sure Daines wasn’t counting on your vote so he’s losing no sleep over your babble.
