Is There More I Can Do? Is There More You Can Do?

 

I'vebeen debating whether or not I should post these thoughts. However, I continueto read various news sources, including everyone's opinions on Facebook,LinkedIn, and Twitter, and I feel I need to make my voice heard as well. 

Afterthe presidential inauguration on January 20, it didn't take the newadministration long to start turning our secure United States world upsidedown. By the end of the month, I started writing letters to my members ofCongress with my concerns, mostly about immigration and other human rightsissues.

Ireceived a welcomed email from my Democratic senator in support of my thoughtsbut nothing from my Republican representative. Last Friday, I finally heardfrom my Republican senator, Ron Johnson. Let me share that email before I tellyou what I thought about it.

    FindingWaste, Fraud, and Abuse in Federal Spending

    DearChristine,

    Sen.Johnson's top concern as a U.S. Senator has always been our federal debt anddeficit, and the ongoing spending that is mortgaging our children's future. Hecalls it immoral. Sen. Johnson has consistently and persistently called outbloated spending, Big Government, and unaccountable bureaucrats who havethwarted his oversight.

    PresidentTrump's launch of a temporary advisory committee — the Department of GovernmentEfficiency (DOGE) — with Elon Musk as a special government (non-paid) employee,is a new approach to correcting waste, fraud, and abuse within the executivebranch of the federal government.

Creatinga new department while eliminating others that are actually helping people isbeyond me, but here's the email I sent back.

Dear Senator Johnson,

I sent your office an email on January 31.No one in your office seems to have read it, as I hadn't heard from you until Ireceived a "form letter" email yesterday. Nothing in your messageaddressed my concerns; instead, it infuriated me.

In your message, you praised PresidentTrump for slashing government spending and hiring Elon Musk to oversee this.Certainly, cuts need to be made somewhere, but not at the expense of theAmerican people.

How does it help the economy to fire manymiddle-class residents from their government jobs? Hasn't the United Statesgovernment historically helped create jobs instead?

Also, most government agencies beingslashed were created to help the American people, whether providing aid tothose living in poverty or allowing them to enjoy beautiful outdoor spaces andeducational institutions.

Here's where cuts need to be made - theoutrageous salaries and benefits packages of high-ranking government officials.Are any of their jobs or expenses being cut?

Also, the wealthy need to pay more inincome taxes. Leave the working class alone - we have been the backbone of theUnited States since the very beginning, and we are always the first to suffermonetarily.

However, what incensed me the most whilereading your email was the championing of Elon Musk. Have you ever read theBible? Have you ever heard of two people - the antichrist and the falseprophet? In the End Times of this planet, those two, along with Satan, make upthe Unholy Trinity.

I hate making this email so long, but Iwanted to tell you about these guys in case you've never heard of them.  

The antichrist will win people over withhis charm, charisma, and promises. He will unite the world under one globalsuperpower, one currency, and will attempt to change the dates, times, andmaps. He will essentially try to play God.

The false prophet will be appointed by theantichrist to give him more credibility and pave the way for this evil ruler toexercise his injustice and corruption.

And, of course, there is Satan, whocontrols these two men and has the single most agenda to bring down the entireworld. Are there two such men working in Washington right now?

I've been praying to God to save thiscountry and this world for a long time. My prayers have become more fervent andfrequent. As a Christian, I know that the world is going to take a horribleturn before Jesus returns. I didn't think it would happen in my lifetime, and Ipray that non-believers see what's happening before it's too late. I pray thatyou can see that, too.

Sincerely, Christine Kincaid

Iwill continue to pray and continue to write. Maybe there is more I could do,but God hasn’t called me to do anything else right now. What about you?
