Letter: Questions for Rep. Thompson to answer

Questions for Rep. Thompson to answer

I want to know why Congressman Mike Thompson, who talks about Trump like he’s crazy and dangerous at town hall meetings, voted to give Trump unlimited ability to make war? That seems a bit disingenuous, doesn’t it? If he thought Trump was so reckless, why would he have voted that way? And why did he vote for the FISA Act? I would like to hear his explanation, because he also voted for the Patriot Act, re-authorized it under Obama and has voted to militarize police forces, more than once. He does really well on many issues, but does our congressman believe in a police state where the government has unlimited ability to spy on its own citizens? Because that’s how he’s voted. I want to know.

Jason Kishineff;
Green Party congressional candidate, California’s 5th District
