Letter to my new senator

In 2024, Utah elected a new senator, John R. Curtis, a Mormon, former mayor of Provo for 8 years and state representative in the US Congress for the past 7 years. He replaced Romney who always disliked Trump. Curtiss is said to “Tackles tough issues with innovative approaches, inviting all to the higher ground of common ground. He believes that big ideas, innovation, and consensus can drive transformational change.” 

So when he said he was supporting Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee as our new Secretary of Defense, I thought this man wasn’t what he says he was, and I wrote him this note: 

"Dear Senator Curtis, No, you cannot vote for a depraved person like Pete Hegseth as our Secretary of Defense! Would it be that you have become scared to death of Donald Trump's wrath? Have you asked yourself 'What would Jesus do in my place?' I recommend you don't and realize that a vote for that drunk, corrupt and sexual predator never stands on your track record. This would be the kind of hypocrisy your campaign promises strongly negated. Thank you for being the 'man' I expect you to be." 

The same day, he responded, telling me, 

“I take very seriously the role that the Senate has in the Constitution for advice and consent—and have spent significant time reviewing President Trump’s nominees, including his Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegseth. I’ve met with Mr. Hegseth, talked with many people who have known him in different roles, carefully watched his confirmation hearing, and even read his writings to better understand who he is. While there are actions from his past that give me pause, I carefully weighed these concerns against his qualifications, leadership style, and commitment to bolstering the world’s most respected military. I am confident Mr. Hegseth shares my vision of ensuring our armed services are prepared to meet the evolving challenges of the 21st century.” 

To which, I responded : 

"The question remains, can you trust the man for doing the job to the level we the taxpayers are expecting? The honest answer is a resounding NO and if you pursue your support in confirming this individual, it will be a permanent blemish on your judgment."

Welcome back to the Trump regime !
