When people suggest that we "contact our Senators", I do, but I usually only contact one of them. I think you can see why I have zero hope that the other might act with some humanity and concern for his fellow citizens.
Mike Lee is completely gone and no longer shows any evidence of morals, empathy, or his supposed faith.
