The following is another letter I forwarded to a few newspapers. Let’s see if one will print it. Please feel free to adapt and use.
As a former Republican and now independent voter, it saddens me that to be a legitimate Republican, one has to endorse untruthful pronouncements by the losing former president and his sycophants. I don’t mind people espousing conservative ideas, but I do expect them to be truthful. Governing is hard enough when using facts, but nigh impossible when making decisions off lies.
Truth be told, I expected this behavior from the former president as that has long been his modus operandi, but what I am frustrated by is his sycophants who perpetuate untruths, even when they know they are lies. The former president lost the election and cannot prove otherwise even after spending a lot of other people’s money to do so. He also instigated an insurrection against Congress putting people in danger. And, that does not include his mishandling of classified information and alleged financial fraud at his company.
We deserve better than those who are purposefully lying to us, regardless of party. Full stop.

Clear words, Keith. Hopefully, they sink a bit deeper into those who should wake up.
Thanks Erika. Let’s hope someone prints it.
Fingers crossed, Keith!
Another excellent letter, my friend. If only those who need to hear it will listen. I hope it gets printed!
Thanks Jill. It is amazing some of the things coming out of the mouths of Trump sycophants, not excluding the person himself. Keith
Keith … you need to let us know if your (very good) letters get published!!
Thanks Nan. The last one did get published. Will see how this one plays out.
Note to Readers: This was in Politico today:
“A federal judge delivered a blistering rebuke of Republican Party leaders Tuesday for what she said was a cynical attempt to stoke false claims of election fraud of the kind that fueled the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson said former President Donald Trump had turned his lies about the election into a litmus test for Republican candidates and that ‘high-ranking members of Congress and state officials” are “so afraid of losing their power’ that they won’t contradict him. That fealty, she said, comes even as law enforcement and judges involved in cases related to the former president are facing unprecedented threats of violence.”
fingers crossed 🙌🏽
Many thanks, Cindy.
always Keith❣️
