To Kevin Cramer, ND Senator

The SAVE Act is a flawed solution to a non-existent problem. Why don't you look at the actual facts about the miniscule rate of non-citizen voting before enacting voter suppression legislation.

Disenfranchising up to 20 million women voters.

Your solution requires women to provide copies of birth certificates along with documentation of any name changes, including a change because of marriage. This is time and money designed to be required of likely Democrat voters.

May I ask why someone was convicted of voter fraud for casting a provisional ballot--a ballot explicitly designed to not count the ballot unless any issues (such as can a former felon in that state vote) are resolved?

Dead people voting? Because of outdated software, some missing birthdates in old data sets still had default data entered which then got translated to showing that people were 150 years old. This was cited as PROOF that dead people were voting.

Your party leader made up stories of bus-loads of illegal immigrants voting, some of whom would go out, put on a fake mustache, and go back in and cast another ballot. There are already procedures in place to prevent such nonsense.

And mail-in ballots? Trump's first-term Postmaster General sabotaged mail-sorting machines to delay mail-in ballots. And now Trump wants to eliminate mail-in voting. Some precincts have every ballot as mail-in. I used mail-in because of a disability in a district that eventually changed to all mail-in voting.

Limiting voting machines and locations to create lines that are so long that they prevent people voting in time. Purging voter rolls. Publishing materials with wrong voting dates. Fake ballot drop-off boxes. A demand that elections be run federally. All voter suppression ploys. 

Did you know that before the 2020 election, Trump said that after most voting machine ballots were counted, and before mail-in votes were tallied (taking longer because they don't get counted until election day), he would declare victory (the Red Mirage) and then cry fraud when the totals turned against him? This was before the election!

The SAVE Act is just another in a long line of cheating to win elections.

So, no, your response doesn't fit reality. Look at the data. Look at what you're demanding of voters. Look at the cheating you just voted for.

By the way, how's the National Debt reduction going? 

How's the demonizing of LGBT+ going? Passages in the Bible about pedophilia being mistranslated to be about homosexuality makes it easier, doesn't it? 

Your religion concerns your behavior. Pretending it extends to everyone else is delusional. Try using scientific findings. I bet you don't know that XY individuals can have female bodies because of known genetic defects? Sex and gender are spectrums. They are not limited by a single binary gene on one single chromosome. I'm pushing 70 and even I know better.

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!
