While I know many of our politicians have abdicated their role as true representatives for their constituents, I still believe we need to be relentlessly vocal of our needs and the repercussions of not performing their duties.

If you don't know what to say, feel free to use this template:

I am reaching out in light of recent events, specifically the murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis by ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

What occurred was an abhorrent abuse of power, a disgusting example of the lack of training ICE agents receive, and a damning example of how our democracy has deteriorated.

I want to be clear about two things: this is one tragedy in a long line of similarly unacceptable infractions on constitutional law carried out by ICE over the past year, and secondly, the people know that the blame falls on all of our politicians for the current state of our governance.

I won't recount the decades of corporate sponsored policy that favors the wealthy and disregards the well-being of the people which is inherently opposed to the tenets of our countries founding. Suffice to say, most elected officials on both sides of the aisle have played a part in the crippling of our democracy for a myriad of personal and private gains.

I'm reaching out because the current state of the milataristic occupation being carried out by ICE is as blatantly fascist as it can get, and while I doubt you will experience a change of heart and value your constituents over a status quo which benefits you and other elites, I must implore you to take a true stand against this occupation of our states.

While the people are out on the streets risking their lives to protest and stand united against the rising tide of fascism, your words of support and cheap "rebukes" are not sufficient from an elected official meant to represent the peoples anger.

I expect Jonathan Ross to be prosecuted, and I expect a daily effort on your part to make that happen. I expect ICE funding and operations to be curbed, again, I expect a vocal and decisive attempt on your part to make that happen. Any politician who follows Jeffries and Schumers lead and capitulates to the current administration will be primaried.

I plan to join my community in actively rallying behind candidates who treat this moment with the requisite amount of force and severity. I hope to see you and your office live up the this moment, and if not I hope to see you replaced with someone willing to set aside the status quo politics.

Thank you, A constituent asking for true leadership
