Is There More I Can Do? Is There More You Can Do?

 

I've been debating whether or not I should post these thoughts. However, I continue to read various news sources, including everyone's opinions on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and I feel I need to make my voice heard as well. 

After the presidential inauguration on January 20, it didn't take the new administration long to start turning our secure United States world upside down. By the end of the month, I started writing letters to my members of Congress with my concerns, mostly about immigration and other human rights issues.

I received a welcomed email from my Democratic senator in support of my thoughts but nothing from my Republican representative. Last Friday, I finally heard from my Republican senator, Ron Johnson. Let me share that email before I tell you what I thought about it.

    Finding Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Federal Spending

    Dear Christine,

    Sen. Johnson's top concern as a U.S. Senator has always been our federal debt and deficit, and the ongoing spending that is mortgaging our children's future. He calls it immoral. Sen. Johnson has consistently and persistently called out bloated spending, Big Government, and unaccountable bureaucrats who have thwarted his oversight.

    President Trump's launch of a temporary advisory committee — the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — with Elon Musk as a special government (non-paid) employee, is a new approach to correcting waste, fraud, and abuse within the executive branch of the federal government.

Creating a new department while eliminating others that are actually helping people is beyond me, but here's the email I sent back.

Dear Senator Johnson,

I sent your office an email on January 31. No one in your office seems to have read it, as I hadn't heard from you until I received a "form letter" email yesterday. Nothing in your message addressed my concerns; instead, it infuriated me.

In your message, you praised President Trump for slashing government spending and hiring Elon Musk to oversee this. Certainly, cuts need to be made somewhere, but not at the expense of the American people.

How does it help the economy to fire many middle-class residents from their government jobs? Hasn't the United States government historically helped create jobs instead?

Also, most government agencies being slashed were created to help the American people, whether providing aid to those living in poverty or allowing them to enjoy beautiful outdoor spaces and educational institutions.

Here's where cuts need to be made - the outrageous salaries and benefits packages of high-ranking government officials. Are any of their jobs or expenses being cut?

Also, the wealthy need to pay more in income taxes. Leave the working class alone - we have been the backbone of the United States since the very beginning, and we are always the first to suffer monetarily.

However, what incensed me the most while reading your email was the championing of Elon Musk. Have you ever read the Bible? Have you ever heard of two people - the antichrist and the false prophet? In the End Times of this planet, those two, along with Satan, make up the Unholy Trinity.

I hate making this email so long, but I wanted to tell you about these guys in case you've never heard of them.  

The antichrist will win people over with his charm, charisma, and promises. He will unite the world under one global superpower, one currency, and will attempt to change the dates, times, and maps. He will essentially try to play God.

The false prophet will be appointed by the antichrist to give him more credibility and pave the way for this evil ruler to exercise his injustice and corruption.

And, of course, there is Satan, who controls these two men and has the single most agenda to bring down the entire world. Are there two such men working in Washington right now?

I've been praying to God to save this country and this world for a long time. My prayers have become more fervent and frequent. As a Christian, I know that the world is going to take a horrible turn before Jesus returns. I didn't think it would happen in my lifetime, and I pray that non-believers see what's happening before it's too late. I pray that you can see that, too.

Sincerely, Christine Kincaid

I will continue to pray and continue to write. Maybe there is more I could do, but God hasn’t called me to do anything else right now. What about you?
