I’m fully awake now

With eyes wide open, I watch as our white-skinned, mostly male, mostly Republican leaders lead the stampede to join forces with our likely mentally ill sociopathic president, salivating their grotesquely evil greed at every step.

With eyes wide open, I watch their vile and contemptible immoral actions they legislate against each and every one of us in their race to the altar of Most Despicable Human Beings on Earth.

With eyes wide open, I watch the unconscionable and obvious attitudes of disrespect and contempt displayed toward women, other countries, and our planet.

With ears wide open, I listen to the disgusting words that incite violence at every turn. With my heart wide open, I sense the pain and suffering being inflicted upon my fellow human beings and my four-legged brothers and sisters.

Sick to my stomach, I watch their sense of entitlement to steal, lie, cheat and manipulate, anything in order to feed their insatiable greed. With tears running down my face, I witness their complete and total disregard of our sacred traditions.

They say you never appreciate what you have until you face losing it. I am awake now and I am heartbroken as I watch my beloved country being destroyed at the hands of these evil people. With all my senses I condemn the actions of this entire administration, and especially those of Tom Cotton, John Boozman, and Steve Womack.

You have betrayed us. Congratulations. Your families must be incredibly ashamed of you. I know I am. KATHY MARTONE
