An open letter to Congress:

Yes, now you know.

Now you know what it is like to be under assault like the governor and legislature of the State of Michigan.

Now you know what the children of Columbine know.

Now you know what soldiers experience daily for months on end.

Now you know the fear that lives in synagogues and Black churches across the land.

Yes, now you know.

Now you know the stark fear of being under fire and wanting to piss and shit in your own pants.

Now you know what you ask our police and military to do but who are then forgotten by you, left to suffer mentally and physically.

Yes, now you know.

Now you know what that vote for war will produce.

Now you know the results of your votes and your tweets and your town halls.

Now you know.

Now act like you do.
