I may have faith in the American system of government after all, maybe. Throughout the election and the first month of the Trump administration, the story about the Trump-Putin connection has been picking up traction. 1. The CIA has concluded that the Russians tried to help Candidate Trump become President Trump in the 2016 election (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clinton-blames-putins-personal-grudge-against-her-for-election-interference/2016/12/16/12f36250-c3be-11e6-8422-eac61c0ef74d_story.html?utm_term=.097fdfa48534) 2. The constant contact between the Russians and the Trump administration/campaign (see http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/politics/donald-trump-aides-russians-campaign/index.html), 3. the dossier (see https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/us/politics/trump-intelligence-report-explainer.html) and 4. the recent discussions Flynn had with the Russian Ambassador about the American imposed Russian sanctions, and then lied to the VP, the chief of staff, the press secretary and most importantly, the FBI (see https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/flynn-in-fbi-interview-denied-discussing-sanctions-with-russian-ambassador/2017/02/16/e3e1e16a-f3d5-11e6-8d72-263470bf0401_story.html?utm_term=.cd96d2cd7e34). A bipartisan group of statesmen (congratulations, you all have been promoted) have had enough. This group of American heroes have introduced "The Russia Sanctions Review Act" would give the US Congress the ability to veto any effort President Trump makes to repeal sanctions on Russia. I cant tell you how important this is. This is a first step in protecting our nation from President Trump, who potentially owes favors to Vladimir Putin. I urge you to call your congressman and your Senators, ask them to support "The Russia Sanctions Review Act." You can go to the links in the right hand column found on this website to find your congressman's phone number, and your Senators phone numbers. Thank you.
