An open letter to Maine’s U.S. Senators and Representatives:
I implore you to place on the floor of each house, a resolution stating unequivocally what this country and your legislative body stand for and specifically denouncing hate groups of all stripes.
I further urge you to call for the resignation of Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka and Stephen Miller, and to urge your colleagues to do the same. These three men have histories of extremist ideologies and should not be working in the White House. The American people deserve a Presidential administration that has no ties to racism, the KKK, white supremacy, or neo-Nazis.
This is an issue of our nation’s moral character for which many have died and for which many continue to defend at risk of life and limb.
Senator Collins and Senator King, use the Senate’s pro forma “in session” dates to stand up against white supremacy. Now.
