Publisher's Synopsis
When US Senators raise their hand and take the oath of office that includes the pledge to "solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic ..." establishing a statutory commitment, one can reasonably expect that defending the Constitution includes all citizens and constituencies even though they may disagree with the senator's political views and ambitions. I want to believe that writing these now published letters to both senators Jeff Flake and John McCain who represented my home state of Arizona and its residents in US Congress made a difference in their decision making. Written in a respectful way, I passionately presented my perspectives related to many social and political themes supported by facts and reasonable arguments. Documenting my exchange of letters with US senators - all written with the utmost respect for the person and the office of US Senator - I present the case that politicians need to be held accountable, morally, politically and legally, for both their actions and inactions. Especially legally for not doing anything or not enough to prevent further harm to their constituencies that they constitutionally represent while in office
