Will do, Michael. Calling my useless MAGA “representatives” is an exercise in futility, but as always I’ll do it anyway. 💪🏻

Thank you, Mike, for your persistance and courage in this neverending nightmare we are stuck in. My Senators are both D but I hope they have some influence with their R colleagues. I will send the letters now.

Dear Senator ——-,

I cannot imagine you will vote in favor of this completely inappropriate nominee, Ed Martin. I subscribe to many Substack contributors. One is former DC Police Officer Mike Fanone who has beseeched us to write our Senators to beg you not to confirm Ed Martin. I know you have much influence in the Senate and I hope you can get your non-MAGA colleagues to vote against this ludicrous nomination. Please do this for us. Please do this for Mike Fanone and his colleagues who have given so much to defend our nation.

Sincerely,

SLMontgo

~~~~~~ My letter emailed to my 2 Democratic Senators

Hmm, maybe I should write to my two loathsome Rabid Red (I love this phrase) Senators, instead of calling their offices. It usually goes to VM, or the assistant who answers reads some pre-fab bullshit and hangs up as soon as possible.They suck.

I’d give it a try since I agree the phone answering gives me no confidence at all that they are even listening or recording. Other Republicans, Tillis I think, are not happy with this nominaton either. Of course, Tillis is not someone I look to for integrity.

We have the dreadful Marsha Blackburn to deal with here. Might as well try communicating with a box of rocks.

Oh, good Lord. Yes, I am a subscriber to TN Brando and he is particularly disgusted with her on a regular basis. However, I would do this just to mock her, just sayin’ 😠

Thank you for your voice Mr. Fanone. I hope you know how much you are respected and appreciated by so many of us. I live in DC so have no voice in the Senate or Congress, but will share your message.

Thanks Michael for letting us know. 💪

Thanks for highlighting the reasons this guy should go no where near the office for which he seeks.

Your integrity is solid, his disappeared into the quicksand long ago.

Seems to be working! Whispers about Republican senators having concerns and chats behind closed doors!

I’m on it, Michael. We don’t need the traitors that are already in office, let alone one more. It troubles me so much that these people deny what happened to you on J6. I appreciate you.

Michael, I will be calling Senators Fetterman and McCormick's office tonight and leaving voicemail messages, and tomorrow morning I'll call their outreach offices and try to talk with a live person. I'm also going to restack your video.

I love you Michael and feel your pain and frustration.!

As a European supporter, it stresses me the shit that I can’t do anything or call your representatives.

What I can do though, is to emphasize the real danger of this nomination and that you all should massively respond to the call of Michael Fanone. Because this is not only about him and the cowards who attacked him (literally but also afterwards, like that Nazi Martin). This is about all of you and the future of your country as a free democracy. It is very simple: What Trump and his Project 2025 Nazi white supremacists are doing, is to completely overhaul your legal system. The know damn well there will be resistance (even from SCOTUS), so they try to replace important positions by puppets.

This strategy is nothing less than the installation of a Volksgerichtshof (or the People’s Court) and a complete system around it that will circumvent all existing rule of law so they go after all resistance until there is no resistance left anymore.

Is this scary stuff? The hell it is. It should scare the shit out of you, but I also should fuel you with rage and energy, so you can take action: follow Fanone in his question to take action and call your representatives. Do it massively, don’t be quiet, speak up!! Before you will no longer have the power to speak up.

To Michael Fanone: I found the end of the video touching. I saw the reaction of a man who didn’t ask for all this shit but still finds the courage to speak up and to do what has to be done, amidst all the bad memories and the disgusting injustice they inflicted upon you and your colleagues. I wished I could give you a hug, but foremost I want to say: You have my utter respect, you are one of the few reasons I’m not completely misanthropic yet.

To the community here: Vive La Resistance!

Definitely, for sure.

Reject Ed Martin as US Attorney for D.C. – HOLD ALL Justice, Homeland Security, Judicial Nominations

I am hoping that Chuck Grassley will allow a public hearing. What else does Ed Martin have to hide? What else does Grassley think Ed Martin has to hide?

THANKS for all that you do, and for all that you have done.

Best, Ed in Boston

Consider it done. I saw you on Jim Acosta’s show earlier as well and am happy to do my part.
