Image Hi Friend,
By now I'm sure you've seen the news of the House's impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. It's a somber week in America, but I believe it is also an important one for the Constitution and the rule of law. As Congress moves forward with constitutionally-mandated oversight, I want to make sure you have access to the documents relevant to the investigation. If you would like, I encourage you to read them for yourself:

Hi Friend,
By now I'm sure you've seen the news of the House's impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. It's a somber week in America, but I believe it is also an important one for the Constitution and the rule of law. As Congress moves forward with constitutionally-mandated oversight, I want to make sure you have access to the documents relevant to the investigation. If you would like, I encourage you to read them for yourself:
Here is the White House memo on the President's call with the President of Ukraine. Here is the Whistleblower complaint of urgent concern that was delivered to Congress. News is breaking quickly, and I'll do my best to keep you informed. In the meantime, I'd appreciate your feedback about how you think Congress should act to strengthen and protect our democracy for future generations. I hope you'll take a minute to answer the two questions below:
Should individuals holding or campaigning for public office be allowed to solicit or accept intelligence about their opponents from foreign entities? Yes No
What should Congress do to protect our elections from foreign interference (check all that apply)? Pass stricter disclosure requirements for campaign donations and expenditures Pass the Honest Ads Act to prevent foreign actors from paying for online political ads Require campaigns to report every offer of foreign assistance to the FBI Use money allocated by the House to update election infrastructure and security Ensure federal whistleblowers are protected from retaliation File Articles of Impeachment against the President No action is required
Other (please specify)
{ There's a button "Tell Dean" which I don't know how to embed here}.
Thank you for sharing your perspectives with me. Representation begins with listening, and your answers will help me better serve you in Congress. By taking this survey you'll also receive my newsletter, which will keep you updated on what I'm working on in Congress, how my team can assist you with Social Security, veterans benefits, or other federal agencies, and what events are coming up in Minnesota and in Washington.
Keep the faith,

*PING*
I hope you wrote it an answer telling it exactly what you think.
Ask him the name of the whistleblower and what his history of political activism is, to whom he’s donated money and/or time and effort.
The ethical question to ask....would the House member be intimidated or bothered if CIA people started to monitor him and report his actions to some IG team?
Typical dishonest Democrat - he wants to hide his party affiliation.
He expects you to believe he is above politics.
He supports this politically motivated, anti-democratic effort to oust a duly elected President.
If he’s really interested in the will of the people, then he should have accepted their will in 2016, and he should look forward to their will in 2020.
Meanwhile, instead of wasting time and money attempting to reverse an election, he should be spending it serving and representing the people of his district in Minnesota.
What liars and hypocrites these Democrats are.
Ask ol’ Dean what color piano wire he likes best...
Here’s what I *WANT* to reply:
Dear Rep. Phillips:
Stop wasting your time on Trump, and go after Biden.
As far as your loaded questions...
Hillary bragged before the election, that “computer specialists” had found
activity from Russian banks on a server in Trump tower.
(Big nothing burger that one. But how did *she* know?)
Oh, that’s right. President Obama signed an Executive Order allowing all *kinds*
of sharing of information across Intelligence Agencies.
Funny how Dem administrations were far more concerned about privacy for the 9-11
hijackers — Gorelick wall, anyone? — than about that Great American Businessman,
Developer, TV Star, and (ahem!) President-ELECT, Donald Trump.
(You’d think that someone like Obama, who pranced around with that fatuous fake
“Seal of the President-Elect” on his podium, would extend at least some measure
of courtesy to the *new* President-elect, wouldn’t you?)
Trump is merely going after literal corruption on Biden:
Biden bragged on video tape about having the prosecutor in the Ukraine fired. I’ve seen the clip.
To protect the elections?
RESIGN. En masse.
Or do you think people have forgotten things like the infamous recounts in King County, Washington,
the trunk full of ballots here in Minnesota, or even the news story last week from Michigan,
where a Dem functionary making over $100,000 was charged with six felonies for tampering
with ballots? (Or, the Jill Stein recount, aborted when some precincts reportedly found more
votes than ballots cast? The — heh — “explanation” is that the missing ballots were somehow
found *under* the ballot box. That’s funny, I thought ballot boxes had a slot in the TOP and were
locked and sealed.)
Good God, do you think we’re ALL as stupid as that?
PS No I *won’t* give you links. First, if you want to “impeach Trump” based on “anonymous whistleblowers”(1),
then anonymous internet sources ought to be just as good. Second, because if you want to claim that
Trump is going after political opponents, remind me again what happened with (Former)Republican Sen.
Ted Stevens—removed just in time to help you Dems get a supermajority to pass Obamacare...even though
the charges were all thrown out by a judge AFTER he was conveniently out of office.
...Oh, by the way. Ted Stevens was 84 years old. Srsly?
(1) you know, because the online webpage listing requirements for reporting got changed at the last minute
to allow second-hand knowledge, or, in the vernacular, rumors,...and also because Google, Facebook, and
Twitter are beginning overt censorship of conservative sites.)
Good rant. I’d just tell Dean that I find him dishonest, unethical, and a threat to liberty.
His staff is using responses as bird cage liner and maybe internal poll.
I’d send the same message to a GOP rep, with very few exceptions.
Looks good to me. I would just add:
One of Americas greatest attributes, prior to 2016, was the peaceful transition of power after an election. That is not what happened after Trumps election, this has not been a peaceful transition of power. History will never forget what the dems and professional bureaucracy have done here.
Or I’m sure you could wordsmith it better if you want add something like that.
PING
Article and #2.
Thanks, grey_whiskers.
Why aren’t congressmen and women voting to pass USMCA?
