An open letter to Bennet, Hickenlooper, Hurd

You are not doing anything even remotely near enough to be effective against this power-hungry administration and President Donald Trump.

You need to be reminded of the steps the fascists took to establish their dictatorships in the past:

1. Incite an insurrection to overthrow our democracy in the name of “patriotism.”

2. Employ one of the world’s richest men to provide enormous financial backing (as Hugenberg did for Hitler).

3. Eliminate accountability by replacing any judges who might oppose him.

4. Own federal enforcement by replacing any generals/admirals with his “puppets.”

5. Accuse others of lawlessness despite his felony conviction.

6. Lie continuously while accusing opponents of being liars.

7. Holding themselves above the law in a rule-of-law democracy.

Not disastrous? Grow up!

Consider more decisive actions like impeachment. Perhaps even forming a coalition with the Independents like Sanders and supporting his truths. At the very least, by attending and supporting his anti-oligarchy rallies.

I didn’t serve to support a dictator.

Martin Lukso, veteran
