Quiet quitters of Congress

 Dear Representative;

On three occasions this September, President Trump authorized the sinking of Venezuelan boats. No evidence of drug smuggling was provided. There were no survivors.  In years past we've arrested and prosecuted smugglers, not sunk their boats. Guilt is established in law courts, not by lynch mobs or presidents. Our government has never before behaved like this. America can't be great again by doing what it's never done before. Killing untried alleged foreign criminals is not justice. — It's an act of warfare. Only Congress has the authority to declare war, yet Trump has silently declared war just as you have remained silent instead of confronting him. An unauthorized act of war is essentially murder. By not restraining President Trump, Congress becomes accomplices to murder.

You've also authorized spending and then allowed Trump to withhold it. Only Congress can declare war. Only Congress controls the purse strings. Although you've taken an oath to uphold the Constitution, you've sat by idly when it was violated. Failing to uphold your oath demonstrates an absence of patriotism and a surfeit of self-serving greed. Don't allow your president to bend laws. Either step up or step down.
