Representative Tonko,
I'm a 58 year old USAF Vet on VA Healthcare and SNAP, living on about $500/mo in the Town of Day. I am concerned about how my life is going to change under the upcoming Trump Administration and your role in your next term.
I am present to how obsolete the Democratic Party is in general, how the NY Democratic Party is an unbearable behemoth that is dragging the working class down, how Americans have been lied to by the Corporate Media, and my experiences being an Election Inspector last night.
Communities are being steam-rolled by both corporate political parties, and along with "The Distraction Industrial Complex", civic discourse in local communities is stifled. I would be interested in knowing what the plan is for the Democratic Party now, what your part in it will be, how those actions will affect me, and your role as a community leader in developing community civic discourse.
This is looking like a bad reality TV show. Polls over Prolls. Under-votes and write-ins should be a call-to-action, as well as the disastrous results in NYC, and I feel the political duopoly is going to destroy the Constitution that I took to protect, the same oath you swore to. I'm an educated autistic human being in a country with practically no health care, let alone mental health care for which Donald Trump is a prime poster-child for. The status quo game the DNC has perpetualized needs to be canceled if the Working Class, not the fictional "middle class" of this country, is to prosper.
The impacts of this are deep. I would like to participate in some kind of community action that doesn't exist yet. We've been too distracted and too busy figuring out how to get by living from paycheck to paycheck, to create it. What would you suggest on how to proceed? A form-letter response is insufficient, and would like to see town hall meetings within the next 30 days. A little more about myself: I'm an amateur radio operator, active in RACES, ARES, building community communications infrastructures, and I fix computers for the locals as well as a couple organizations and small businesses. I'm a person of service living in an economy that encourages the capitalization of labor over community service. I've managed to mask my autism to be able to function as a contribution without feeling too much like "The Enemy Within", and it pains me to think that society values being able to buy cheap imported distractions more than it values human beings like me.
Corporate Politics is partially to blame, and it is time we are shown what's behind the curtain. ACTBlue has my info, andI've made political contributions, but I'm not willing to elevate my financial position to be able to contribute enough to anyone's never-ending re-election campaign to be heard. The next administration isn't going to free-up any more cash for me to make any contributions. This action is my only access to civic discourse, and it's tiring.
I suppose "Congratulations" are in order. I'll bet there may be some soul-searching. That may be projection on my part. This non-binary brain apparently works differently. There certainly is here. I'm not looking forward to uncomfortable family gatherings, made even more uncomfortable by people thinking their only action to change is violence, as that is what we see in the media. WWE is more interesting than TEDTalks.
What are we going to do now, Mr. Tonko? Have a great day, and remember to breathe.
Sincerely,
(signed)
P.S. I am an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church, and I chose a salutation based on that. I notice that there are no options for choosing to not have or use such titles, especially gendered ones. That annoys me. Sorry...autism, and being a non-binary human.
