Possible inclusion for letters to Republicans, late 2016

You still have a few short weeks in which to act.

If stonewalling President Obama is your goal for this term, I hope you find yourself deeply ashamed for the rest of your life for your choice to ignore the wellbeing of ordinary citizens while allowing a small, favored few to become rich and powerful with your aid.

Republican Senators and Representatives have treated their solemn, sworn duties as a game, blocking nearly every effort by Democrats to pass legislation intended to improve the lot of ordinary Americans.  You have allowed hatred of a black man to be the guiding principle of government.

Rather than compromising with the other party, you have helped your party block jobs bills, gut civil rights laws, and refuse to help veterans, women, the disabled, and senior citizens.

History will not judge you favorably.
