Latest letter to my congressional representative:
August 13, 2025
Dear Representative Huizenga,
I am deeply concerned with the authoritarian actions of the current Republican administration. Trump’s unjustified moves to federalize the D.C. police force and deploy the National Guard are based on lies and invented problems. These are the actions of a tyrant and dictator and are a blatant attempt to distract his supporters from actual issues such as our failing economy and the Republican cover-up of the Epstein files. How can you be so concerned about an authoritarian government in Burma and yet blindly support the cruel and illegal authoritarian actions of the Trump administration? Congress must take action or be held complicit in his crimes.
I urge you to support H.R. 51 to make the District of Columbia the 51st state in the union. The District of Columbia should not be a pawn in Trump’s petty games but deserves self-determination and full voting representation in Congress.
Sincerely,
Rev. Kenneth Arthur
