Dear TSA,

Dear TSA agents:

I’m not sure I can find the words to express my gratitude to you. You are our nation’s heroes. Unpaid, unappreciated by our nation’s political “leadership,” you resolutely stand on the front lines in our airports, keeping us safe.

On Friday we traveled from SeaTac to LAX, and on Monday we made the return trip. All along the way we were treated with nothing but patience and kindness by the TSA staff. Knowing the incredible stress you must all be under now, your patience and kindness seemed superhuman to me.

SeaTac was collecting gift cards for the TSA staff, and we left a few at the drop-off place, but I know those cards don’t make a dent in what you deserve. Not only should you be receiving your duly-earned paychecks, you should be receiving medals and accolades – you should have statues in your honor. Seriously.

Thank you for your service. May our legislators and president get their act together and – without stipulation – get you the paychecks you’ve earned and deserve. You should never again be used as hostages by our politicians.

Your fan,

Karen

Mitch McConnell: Do the Right Thing

Mitch McConnell –

You were elected to serve the people who live in this nation. You were entrusted with great power, and with great responsibility. People are trusting you to do the right thing – to put the well-being, rights, and prosperity of the people you were elected to serve ahead of politics. End this government shut down. Put the bill that the House just passed that would end the shutdown (the same bill the Senate approved unanimously a few weeks ago) in front of the Senate for another vote and get our government running again. It’s time to stop holding the lives of the American people hostage.

Sincerely,
Karen Molenaar Terrell
