Stand With Ukraine - A Call To Action

Normally, my blog posts lean towards humor and satire.  But today, I am completely serious and there isn't an ounce of humor or satire in any of this.  This is a call for action because these are serious times and this is a serious matter - close to my heart and to the values which I hold dear. I'll probably lose a few followers, maybe a lot.  So be it.  Some things are worth taking a stand for and this is one of them.  I hope that you'll stand with me and with the people of Ukraine, who desperately need our support.

I want you to copy and paste the words below into a letter with your name on it and send it to the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.  Then, like and share this blog post as far and wide as you can. Comment on it to, to help it go further and faster across the internet.  Do not wait, do not delay, do not pass go or collect $200.  Today is when you need to do this - right now preferably.  Literally, lives are on the line every day.  Democracy and freedom are on the line every day in Ukraine and all of Europe.  We all need to show the courage and guts to take action now.  Here's the letter:

The Honorable Mike Johnson
Speaker of the House 
H-232, The Capitol 
Washington, DC 20515 

Dear Speaker Johnson,

I am writing to urge you to bring the Senate bill approving the $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan up for a vote in the full House. As a concerned citizen, I believe this is a crucial step towards supporting our allies, safeguarding American interests, and halting the dangerous aggression of Vladimir Putin's regime.

It is important to note that a significant portion of this aid package will remain in America, contributing to our own economy and national security efforts. Furthermore, defeating Putin and his expansionist agenda is imperative not only for the stability of Eastern Europe but also for global security. Putin's flagrant disregard for international law and the atrocities and war crimes committed by Russian forces demand a strong and unified response from the United States and its allies.

Failure to act decisively risks the further escalation of the conflict, potentially drawing NATO allies into the fray and necessitating greater American involvement, both in terms of military personnel and financial resources. The consequences of such an escalation would be dire, not only for the region but for global stability as a whole.

By swiftly approving this aid package, Congress can send a clear message of solidarity with our allies and a resolute stance against aggression and tyranny. It is our moral obligation to stand with those who are fighting for freedom and democracy, and to oppose those who seek to undermine these values through force and intimidation.

I urge you to prioritize this matter and schedule a vote on the Senate bill without delay. The security and well-being of our nation and our allies depend on it.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Sincerely,
