An Open Letter to the United States' Congress

Honorable Senators and Representatives:

Please be apprised that it is Russia's agenda, closely followed by China's, that our nation should dismantle climate programs and sell off public lands at this time.

Why?

Because, without question, this would demonstrate that we are incapable of wise judgment on the global stage.

Russia and China, our foreign adversaries, are attempting to prove to the whole world that the United States is unfit to assume a position of global leadership concerning the environmental crisis we now face.

Yet, Russia and China are wrong on this point.

And I now challenge the U.S. Congress to prove they are wrong.

While the FBI, closely affiliated with Russia's agenda, is attempting to bribe Congress to vote in accordance with Russia's agenda, the United States should not comply or concede.

Instead, I would respectfully request that the Joint Committee express its viewpoint on these issues to Congress, to the DOJ, and to the Supreme Court.

The Joint Committee is highly aware of the progress that stands in the best long term interests of the sovereignty of the United States.

We need to listen closely to its members, both now and in the future.

Beyond our political affiliations, past our party platforms, above immediate worries for the welfare of constituents, resides the overarching concern of the United States' candidacy for long-term leadership of concerns that are global in nature.

We are capable of proving our worthiness to lead on the global stage, but not if we follow the agenda of our foreign adversaries at this time.

When Russia directs, through intermediaries, our own military to contaminate our own private and public lands with toxic chemicals, do we believe that we are bound to comply?

Or do we believe that our long term commitment to our nation's sovereignty, to the American people, and to the global environment supersedes orders that harm the United States and represent profound and unacceptable conflicts of interest?

Honorable Members of Congress, I respectfully request that, prior to your decision-making regarding the disposition of our national parks and public lands, which stand as a national treasure, and prior to your resolutions to dismantle programs effectively addressing our fast-encroaching climate crisis, you hear the opinion of the Joint Committee on all of these subjects.

By virtue of their detailed analyses and awareness of the larger context, they are more informed about the ramifications of these decisions than Congress as of this writing.

We need to hear them and hear them fully before any of these issues are put to Congressional vote.

If we care about the United States' candidacy for leadership of global concerns through the foreseeable future, then we need to care about listening to the Joint Committee at this time.

Its members are loyal to the United States, and they are extensively informed about current and future challenges we will face as a nation.

Hear them, please.

Hear them well.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams
