Letter body: 

Why do we have laws in America? Obviously they are not needed.

We have a president of the United States who can change any law he chooses for political purposes, by executive order.

We have an attorney general of the United states who will not enforce the laws of our land.

We have a governor of the state of Oregon who does not follow the law.

We have an attorney general in Oregon who does not enforce the law and will not defend it in court.

We have millions of illegal immigrants in the Unities States who break the law every day and expect to be rewarded.

We have IRS workers who do not follow the law when it comes to paying taxes and they get a big bonus. (You try that.)

We have a senator from Oregon who signed a letter encouraging the illegal targeting of people of the opposing political spectrum. (Merkley, shame on you.)

We have the same senator voting against upholding the Second Amendment that prevents the United States from turning our gun laws over to the enforcement of the United Nations. (Way to go, Merkley.)

We have congressmen from both sides of the aisle disregarding the rule of law in order to benefit their own agenda.

Yet, they all think that they either deserve to be rewarded by re-election, or at the least treated with respect by the rest of us who believe in the law.

Enough said.
