Friends,

I’ve never been interested in scoring political points or being center stage on cable news. I came to Washington to get things done for Michiganders, and oftentimes, that means working with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle.

But we need to be frank about the rhetoric coming from the Republican Party led by Donald Trump: It is unapologetically racist. Period. Beyond that, it’s dangerous and in complete opposition to the ideals of our nation.

Here’s the thing about rhetoric, friends – it often falls in line with a person’s actions. So it gives me serious pause when President Trump toes a line that’s contrary to who we are as a country. It raises even more questions about what happened on his campaign and what’s happening in the Oval Office.

Not all of my Republican colleagues feel the same – which is why I’m reaching out to you. We need to show that the American people will fight for truth and democracy – and you can help by answering the below question before midnight. I want to know:

Do you think Donald Trump has been honest with Americans?

Thank you for speaking out at such a critical time.  

Gary
