ATTN: Pearl-Clutchers

 

Okay, there seems to be a lot of pearl-clutching angst amongst some in response to Senator Kyrsten Sinema, being cornered in the wash-room by her own constituents whom she does not deign to meet in a more formal setting.

Please note that Ms Sinema is a sitting US Senator. She is not your child’s kindergarten teacher. She is not the chair of the clothing drive at your church. She is not the smiling cashier at CVS or the helpful teller at your local bank branch. She is not attending a tea social. She is not a member of your bridge club.

Kyrsten Sinema is an elected official. She was sent to the Senate after she promised to make her constituents’ lives better. Her supporters campaigned to elect her in Arizona. They gave of their own time and energy to put Ms Sinema in a position of power and influence.

However, Ms. Sinema is holding up vital legislation that will change people's lives for the better all over the USA. Sinema is obstructing that effort for no good reason at all. She is acting more like a pawn of Mitch McConnell than a member of Chuck Schumer’s team. She has thrown her campaign workers – her own constituents – under the proverbial bus. She has done this without comment or rationale.

So, get in her face and demand some answers. Confront her whenever and wherever she is. On a plane? Yes! Confront her. At dinner? Yes, Confront her. Walking down the street? Yes. Confront her. At her next Iron-man event? Yes! In the rest-room? Yes! Confront her.

Demand answers. Demand some action that shows that indicates she is a member of the Democratic Party. Demand that she respect the wishes of her own constituents.
