Americans should reflect outrage over Russia

-

Russian interferen­ce in our election is proven. Why the interferen­ce? To lift the sanctions against Russia. Why they need the sanctions lifted is the other part of the story. While still working for Exxon, Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon, made a deal with Putin to remove oil from 63 million acres in Russia. Putin invaded Ukraine to establish a route to export the oil.

President Obama placed sanctions against Russia because of the invasion. Putin put Trump and Tillerson in the White House to lift those sanctions.

The oil is worth about a half-trillion dollars to Russia.

Hilary Clinton would have never lifted the sanctions for Putin and Putin knew it. They despised each other.

No matter what party you belong to, these are documented facts.

I am an American before anything else. I expect my representa­tives in Congress to be the same.

I am embarrasse­d and ashamed by the lack of action against Russia by the Republican party.

Russia invaded our country. Congress has done nothing ! Why ? What is their self-interest ?

If you are an American this should be a top priority, not Obamacare, not tax reform. Nothing should be a priority over this.

Speak out! Demand action!
