My Email to Various Representatives On the Case of Alabama Representative Sue Schmitz

To: Members of the United States Senate, House of Representatives, and the Alabama State Legislature

An elderly civil servant is arrested in the wee hours in an eerily Big Brother-like raid, her husband forced into the morning cold shirtless. A social studies teacher and an elected official arrested and accosted on the orders of opposition party minions. A state controlled press which slanders her name throughout the masses.
This should be something I read about happening in North Korea, Cuba, or China; however, it should not be something that I read happened and is continuing to happen in The United States of America. The civil servant of whom you read is Columbia High School AP Government teacher: State Representative Sue Schmitz.
A tale of gigantic proportions is brewing in the great state of Alabama. An illustrious G.O.P. has taken on enormous power in this new era of American politics. And they have wielded that power with potentially disastrous consequence. A pledge from Governor Riley to craft a new Republican-dominated state legislature is by no means coincidental.
The Justice Department has become a pawn of the Executive. In Alabama this has struck home particularly viciously with Alice Martin. The enormous rise in political appointments and the enormous number of obviously partisan prosecutions in Alabama have reflected this change. This represents a clear and present danger to our Democracy and the American People cannot afford for you to ignore it.
I plead with you on behalf of the people who know and love Mrs. Schmitz, and I think the American People as well. Please stop this debauchery of Democracy. The path which some in the Republican Party has taken this nation down is a dark one. They have sacrificed liberty for what they deemed was security and they have wielded the powers they gained at the expense of Our liberties to their advantage. The Republican Party has not acted alone however. It is the responsibility of the American People. We opened the door. And We must close it. A drastic change is needed. And I believe the Representation is where it must start.
Thank You For Your Time,
