Republicans are scared of different stuff than Democrats, but the anxiety out here is crackling. Have you read Project 2025? It clearly states what is happening, and is going to happen, to our government. The President said several times before the election that Americans would never have to vote again after 2024. It may sound alarmist, but I believe him. There won’t be any midterm elections, I fear, so waiting for them is futile. I believe that risking one’s Senate seat to fight for one’s constituents is part of that job. Please take extraordinary risks for us, and do it now. Stand up to your Republican colleagues, and to the White House and Musk. Help Congress keep and get back its power, and vehemently defend the judiciary every time it’s disparaged.

TO______________ ADDRESS_______ Washington DC 20510 YOUR NAME_____ ADDRESS_______ ________________ DATE_______2025 Dear SAMPLE____, I have admired you over the years, and I think you have been an excellent Senator. That’s why I was so disappointed to learn you had voted for the CR last week, especially without getting a single modification or concession for us. Like most Americans, I’m scared. Republicans are scared of different stuff than Democrats, but the anxiety out here is crackling. Have you read Project 2025? It clearly states what is happening, and is going to happen, to our government. The President said several times before the election that Americans would never have to vote again after 2024.

NO MORE ELECTIONS

Will there be midterm elections in 2026? SAMPLE LETTER Dear________, You, and your colleagues in Congress have lost credibility with me. Maybe you don’t realize it, but most Americans are scared. Republicans are scared of different stuff than Democrats, but the anxiety out here is crackling. And I don’t think you’re doing enough to help us. Have you read Project 2025? It clearly states what is happening, and is going to happen, to our government. The President said before the election that Americans would never have to vote again after 2024. It may sound alarmist, but I believe him. There won’t be any midterm elections, I fear, so waiting for them is futile. Stick your neck out now! I believe that risking one’s congressional seat to fight for one’s constituents is a part of that job. Please take extraordinary risks for us, and do it now. Stand up to your colleagues, to the White House, and the oligarchs. Help Congress keep and get back its power, and vehemently defend the judiciary every time it’s disparaged. Publicly encourage universities and law firms caving to Trump’s retaliation for perceived injustices, to risk standing up to him, and taking him to court. Quit waiting on the midterms. Help us now. Earn back your credibility with us. We’re depending on you! Sincerely, CONTACT CONGRESS https://www.congress.gov/members

I’m Brita Ferm, the creator of this podcast. If I review The Credibility Gap on its production quality, I’d probably give it only 3 stars. (I’ll get better, I promise.) In reviewing the content, I have to give it all possible stars! I’m very proud of myself for putting myself out here. I’ll love to hear your ideas. Thanks for listening. ❤️

The podcast about the hole our elected leaders have fallen into that’s preventing them from protecting our rights and causing them to lose credibility with us, and about ways we can show them how to climb out.
