Democrats: Write Letter of Support to Democrat Legislators

Following Hillary's loss, I wrote my Democrat legislators letters of support.

I am pasting below the letter plus the links for the names and email addies of your legislators, if you should wish to do the same:

To Senators of your State –

To Representatives of your district –

(Draft of Letter)

Following the unfortunate loss of Hillary Clinton, I decided to let you know that I am aware of the big fight ahead of you. I am particularly concerned that our Democratic institutions might erode under Trump’s presidency, and I urge you to protect our Democracy carefully and to stand firm against extreme Trump positions or proposals. I and many others support you and other Democrats.

Many thanks for your hard work.
