Sen. Toomey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost 20 years ago my (future) wife and I decided to depart from our comfortable small town, middle-class lives and venture into the world of volunteer charity work. This first led us to Guatemala, then East Africa, and finally back to Central America. In Kenya, in 2002 and 2003, I was the medical director (PA) of a very remote clinic, this being during the time of the AIDS crisis. I suspect you couldn\u2019t begin to imagine the misery, suffering, and death I encountered on a daily basis: malaria and AIDS especially, but also diseases as far reaching as typhoid, cholera, and even rabies. There were too many failures, never enough successes, lots of gut-wrenching sadness, and even occasional joy. My wife had the courage to travel by herself and join me at this clinic, and I recall with timeless admiration when a young woman had just given birth with resultant vaginal tearing, and my wife held in one hand the patient\u2019s hand, and in the other a flashlight so I could see to do the surgical repair. In looking at a summary of your biography, I suspect we saw more of this reality of the world in a day then you\u2019ve seen in your lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the mid-2000\u2019s we decided to develop a kid\u2019s oriented project in Honduras, which we opened in a small, rural village in 20007. This included educational and reading experiences, a feeding program (typically we served 100\u2019s of meals a week), wholesome recreation and sports- basically a place where impoverished children could feel safe and be kids. Once we were told of a 2 \u00bd year-old girl who weighed 11 pounds, was hairless, and covered with scars. We took her to an \u201cexpert,\u201d a local physician, and were told she was beyond salvage. Nevertheless, we provided her with intensive nutrition and other measures, and today she is a healthy teenager. In this type of work there are frequently unexpected and significant challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Due to endemic violence in Honduras and other circumstances, in 2013 we changed our emphasis more towards young adults and families, teaching English and general knowledge, vocational skills, literally brought light to mud and stick houses, and initiated countless other efforts to improve their lives and futures. Currently we are supporting two people to attend university in Honduras and are the full sponsors of a Kenyan man in college in the US; we spend approximately a third of our income on these endeavors, and I\u2019m sure our income is significantly less than yours. In all, we have spent years living in dirty, and at times dangerous, places, and have spent $10\u2019s of thousands of our own money all to provide opportunities and improve the lives of impoverished people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a phrase that has become quite popular in the lexicon of the \u201csocial justice\u201d world that categorizes all people as \u201cbrown and black,\u201d and pejoratively as white, and the thing is, the people we\u2019ve worked with and for over these many years have been exclusively \u201cbrown and black.\u201d Nevertheless, we are conservatives and voted for Trump, hence since 2016 to the present we are relentlessly called fascists, Nazi\u2019s, and, of course, hate-filled racists by the Democrat elite, their automatons, and their sycophantic media: people of great wealth and privilege who raise their voices in faux-\u201csocial justice\u201d outrage but would never actually raise a finger to truly help a \u201cbrown or black\u201d person- the Democrat haute monde who exploit \u201cbrown and black\u201d people for political gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your pseudo-pious support of the latest grotesque political circus, this extra-constitutional impeachment and Senate trial of ex<\/em>-President Trump, you have allied yourself with these odious voices that mindlessly attack my wife and me, along with 10\u2019s of millions of other citizens, as \u201cracists.\u201d You sanctimoniously hide under the guise of the Constitution while, in fact, you are perverting the Constitution, solely to curry favor with those whose greed for power is limitless, and who are using their power to promulgate hate and division. Your yearning for a pat on the head from Chuck Schumer is incomprehensible to any rationale and compassionate person, though sadly understandable through the prism of your debased politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realize we are nothing to you, and at best this communication will be read by a low-level staffer who may <\/em>offer a stock response filled with meaningless slogans and rationalizations; that\u2019s just the way it is. Likewise, it\u2019s too easy to understand that, in the present political climate, a moral coward feels compelled to abandon his or her ostensible values and beliefs in order to ingratiate him or herself with their new masters, as you have done. I am not quickly inclined to opprobrium, but your recent declaration has revealed you to be, to quote one of your newly established partners and compatriots, a truly deplorable \u201crepresentative of the people,\u201d and that is terribly lamentable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
