"Dear" Elise Stefanik,
We read in the paper that you want to open an investigation into China and how it handled the initial outbreak of coronavirus. How about focusing your attention on something a little closer to home — as in, your New York Congressional district?
We cats live here. Last we checked, the 21st district was part of New York State. But the rumblings coming out of Washington are that if our Governor doesn't flatter the current occupant of the White House enough, New York won't get what it needs to fight the coronavirus. Not just New York City — but cities and towns in NY-21 and across the Empire State.
We're wondering if you're okay with this.
A reminder: The state of New York sends far more in federal taxes to Washington than Washington returns in support: $27 billion more, in fact. And red states pay far less. But it shouldn't come down just to money. It's a question of basic human decency.
And that's a test that you've been failing a lot lately.
You went full-bore Trumpy during the impeachment hearings, and your knee-jerk, MAGA Twitter mob has attacked people relentlessly since. But is it possible that you're willing to sacrifice New Yorkers' lives — including those of your own constituents — on the altar of Benedict Donald's personality disorder?
People in NY-21 will need ventilators, too. Are you looking out for them? If not, we know someone who will. We cats HISS.
