Letter to My Rep, Gays, Ideology, and HR 7661

 Letter to Julie Fedorchak, US House Representative for North Dakota, 3/23/2026

REJECT HR 7661: Stop the National Assault on Public Education, and Other Observations

Gay kids read hundreds of books about straight kids, and remain gay. But you're afraid if Daniel reads one book about gay kids, he's going to wake up tomorrow and ask Brad to the prom. 

Your religion governs your behavior. Not mine. If you think the Old Testament laws should apply, why don't you advocate white slavery and eschew the wearing of jewelry?

I thought Republicans were all about freedom. Right. The freedom to go without unpolluted food, air, water, and soil. The freedom to work two or three jobs to earn a living. The freedom to have someone else decide which books you can read. The freedom to go bankrupt because of medical bills. The freedom from scientific truths. The freedom to die when an abortion could have saved one's life. The freedom to not be able to marry the consenting adult that you love. The freedom to not be able to bargain collectively with fellow workers at one's job. The freedom to be deported without due process by people who write and execute their own "administrative" warrants. The freedom to helplessly witness the GOP enabling a racist, misogynistic, vitriolic dictator who wants to abolish the Constitution as he rewrites history.

The GOP advocates the abandonment of any Social Responsibility in favor of a cynical ideology of Personal Responsibility, instead of a balance between them.

If you like ruthless authoritarian governments with unaccountable, murderous secret police and loss of individual rights, why don't you move to Russia or North Korea?

Lastly, I am writing to demand that you vote NO on HR 7661. This legislation is a dangerous, nationalized vehicle for book banning that threatens the very existence of our public school system.

By weaponizing federal funding, HR 7661 attempts to blackmail schools into adopting the bigoted, reactionary dogma of groups like "Moms for Liberty." This bill effectively erases LGBTQ+ students and replaces professional educational standards with partisan indoctrination. It is a financial hit job designed to starve schools that refuse to comply with extremist censorship.

Do not allow federal policy to destroy the lives of American children. Support intellectual freedom and vote against this overreach.

Letter To My House Representative

Letter to Julie Fedorchak, North Dakota House Representative, 1/17/2025:

Trump said, “I may do that for Greenland too. I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security. So I may do that."

Tariffs are strictly a function of the House, as are appropriations. It is Congress' job to legislate.

The president's job is to execute the laws passed by Congress. Usurping Congress' role is unconstitutional. Trump had his chance to veto their legislation; he can't change his mind down the road.

Stephen Miller, the Deputy Chief of Staff and the architect of separation of families at the border (how many children were never returned?) is assisting Trump in following the Nazi playbook. Look it up.

When are you going to impeach this would-be dictator and saddle us with his VP?

Gestapo in our streets, retribution and the demonizing of anyone who opposes his views, attacks on Blue States, constant threats and insults, the sowing of chaos and terror and despair and misery, throwing out due process and the freedom of the press and religion, malicious prosecutions, acts of war, war crimes, imperial acts of aggression against other nations, blackmailing of Zelensky, whitewashing history, imposition of religious ideas of binary gender, halting cancer and other research, crippling of agencies that serve the public. That's just a small list of Trump's warped actions.

America has had progress set back decades and generations. Clinton was impeached because of a bj, and you don't think there are sufficient grounds to impeach Trump? Do your job!

The Big BS Bill of 2025

To Michelle Fischbach (R-MN7):

(Subject Category: Law) 

As a Minnesota District constituent, I urge you to vote NO on the so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ and to encourage all of your colleagues to do the same. We should be helping people get health insurance, not kicking 17 million off. We should ensure families have enough to eat, not yanking food out of their mouths. And we should make sure that millionaires and billionaires stop taking more than their fair share, not giving them even more riches.

And there are so many other massive problems with this bill. Stop enabling the lunatics in the White House. Stop the gutting of the middle class and the consumers that businesses rely on. 

Crippling Social Security (the biggest single senior anti-poverty program that has operated successfully for 90 years and which is separate by law from the federal budget, adding not one dime to the National Debt), firing hundreds of thousands of essential federal workers, throwing tens of thousands of veterans out of work, and trashing the EPA, USAID, National Park Service, IRS, DOJ, FEMA, the VA, CDC, Education, Civil Rights, and many other departments. The new Secret Police (ICE). Attacking the rule of law, individual judges, law firms, attorneys, and members of Congress. The wholesale exposure of citizens' private data. The direct taxation of consumers with levies on imports (it's levies on exports that are paid by foreign entities!). 

Stop the fascist takeover and the gutting of the Constitution that you swore an Oath to defend (the Constitution, not the wannabe dictator and authoritarian felon in the White House). You are supposed to strike a balance between the needs of business and those of individuals. Not turn this country into a banana republic. 

Thank you,

Keith Wilson

Wendell, MN (Minnesota's 7th Congressional District)
