Robert Mueller has now charged 13 Russian Nationals with interfering in our elections and our democracy. The purpose is to divide us and weaken and / or destroy our institutions and norms of democracy. These are acts of war that are on-going and focused on the 2018 and 2020 elections and on any other issues that would divide us. Most recently the Russians sent out a swarm of botts on the gun debate.. Russian efforts have enjoyed great success with the 2016 presidential election with their operatives moving freely across the United States with some even organizing rallies . We currently have travel bans on countries that have never attacked us. Then why do we invite Russian nationals who would destroy our country and with whom we are in a de facto state of war to freely cross our borders. We must close our borders to all Russian nationals until their authoritarian leader, Vladimir Putin, stops his audacious aggression against our way of life and our democracy.
Why is this important?
Like many other citizens of the
United States I am alarmed that our President and the Speaker of the House along with the majority Senate leader have been derelict in protecting the United States from the insidious attacks by the Russian Federation with the aim being very simple :the destruction of our our democracy and our way of life. This attack is every bit as serious as the attack on Pearl Harbor or 9/11. The fabric of our country and democratic institutions are being neglected and stressed to the breaking point from this act of War on the United States. If our leaders will not act then we must as citizens step up to protect our country.
