Dear President Biden,
I am taking my time this July 4 not to celebrate the birth of our nation but rather to write a letter to you to beg you to take the urgently needed dramatic action necessary to save our country from falling into a theocratic autocracy. You took an oath to defend our nation and constitution from enemies, both foreign and domestic. Terrifyingly, it has become overwhelmingly clear we are being attacked by both, working together, to destroy our nation from within.
I write this believing two things at one time: I believe you have been an outstanding president and that you have been too slow in recognizing the dangers to our nation from which you are supposed to protect us. Your accomplishments in your first term as president have been breathtaking and remarkable. You turned our economy around with blazing speed. You got infrastructure done. You have restored faith in our nation with our allies around the world. You have rebuilt bridges many people thought were destroyed forever… both literal bridges that carry cars, trucks and trains over otherwise impassable territory and also political bridges with partners around the globe, like Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Yet, in spite of these and many other accomplishments, you have been painfully slow at recognizing the growing threat to our nation from extremists who seek to dismantle our laws, regulations and norms so they may take control for the enrichment of themselves. Your hand-wringing about issues like court reform and others, which progressive voices saw as requiring urgent action before you even became president, has, unfortunately, contributed significantly to the crisis currently facing our nation. If we had addressed court reform when we knew we needed it, and if we had had an attorney general that was willing to take action to hold those who have attacked our nation accountable in a more timely fashion, we would not be in the situation in which we find ourselves today.
You were able to achieve your many accomplishments because you are a pragmatic and thoughtful leader. However, your slow and, some would argue, dismissive approach to things requiring urgent, immediate and dramatic action is largely why the USA is under threat today. Our adversaries literally believe, and say out loud, that you are too good of a man to fully use the powers recently granted to you by the United States Supreme Court. You can neither buy into that argument nor fulfill it as some kind of prophecy. You cannot play by the rules you think should be in play. You need to play by the rules that are set for you. You know our adversaries will be playing by these new rules, and if you fail to embrace them, you will be failing to fulfill your oath of office. You will be handing the keys to the Country to our enemies.
You have important decisions to make on two fronts: As a campaigner and president.
To sell yourself as the person capable of leading our nation in this emergency you need to immediately and strongly articulate the scale and scope of the problem facing this nation and describe what you are going to do about it. As the president, you need to immediately begin using the new powers given to you by the US Supreme Court in order to protect us from our enemies. You have 4 months. A long, slow, methodical approach isn’t going to cut it. If you do not, the accomplishments you have achieved will be wiped out by memory of you standing by “being a good man” while predators destroy our nation.
