To Whom It May Concern:
I am a concerned voter. Not a democrat. Not a republican. But I am very unhappy with the tax issues that democrats have created and I am very unhappy with our current governor. I have written to the Washington State House Republicans because by voting for the Millionaires Tax, regardless of 100,000 voters telling them not to, obviously the democrats are not hearing the people.
Honestly I voted completely democrat for the first time in my life when Trump ran. Not because he ran as a republican because I don’t believe he is a republican. But I believe he ran as whatever party would have him and I believe he is a monster. I was afraid of Project 2025 and I was afraid of everything that is happening right now at the hands of our federal government. I did not want our state government to support him.
This was not a good choice but I also did not believe that I was presented with acceptable choices by republicans. I want to tell you why. Queer and transgender people are humans first. They do not deserve to be othered. I am queer. I am not transgender but I know and care for people who are transgender and I see what other states are doing to remove the civil rights of these fellow humans. I have also heard my own republican representative use negative innuendos in reference to transgender people in his speeches which will keep me from voting for him because I believe civil rights are more important that taxes because fellow humans are more important than money. Too many United States military members have died for the freedom of us all to not remember that people are more valuable than dollars.
I am writing to you because I care about our state and I care about our people. All of our people. I want to share with you that I see a mistake you are making. By legislating humanity for consenting adults, by allowing representation to make comments that deny the rights of fellow humans to express themselves and seek medical care and treatment that should be private, between them and their medical team, denying their right to name themselves, which is available to everyone, not just transgender humans, it is no different than making derogatory remarks about people with black or brown or yellow skin. We are all born the way we are born. No one would choose to be different.
I do know that many people are afraid of what they think are issues related to this matter but I know that when leaders are fair and present, the rest can be seen honestly. The point of governance is to serve We The People; all the people. Please do not disregard my message.
Sincerely,
Summer D Clemenson
