It is also astonishing that the Democratic operatives have made something called “electability” a yardstick for deciding who to vote for in the…
By Ralph Nader January 23, 2020 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has her reasons for limiting her impeachment articles to offenses stemming from the abuses and violations related to Ukraine. Unfortunately, she declined to pursue a broader impeachment approach that recognizes multiple provable, serious violations of the Constitution. Speaker Pelosi overruled Chairs of Committees, including the…

Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington D.C. 20500 Dear President Trump: This is a short letter with a serious message about national security and safety.

January 14, 2019 President Donald Trump White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Trump: The disabling and dismantling of the federal health and safety agencies under your cruel command has been leaving a trail of American fatalities, injuries, and property destruction without precedent even among past Republican Administrations.
