Note: I am posting a copy of a letter I sent to my congressman today; with appropriate modifications, I also wrote to both Maryland senators. I am posting this simply to encourage all of you to write your own letters to your congressman and senators. Caged children can't wait; we must act now! Oh, and by the way, I didn't send the letter to the President. You know and I know it wouldn't have done any good.

Dear Congressman
John Sarbanes,
I am
appalled by the current practice of separating children at the border. As a
pediatrician, I am well aware of the fact that children are not little adults.
Tearing families apart can and will have lifelong traumatic effects upon
children, let there be no doubt about that.
Give me
your tired and poor, and we’ll put them in cages? Lock up those yearning to be
free? What are we becoming?
This is not
a conservative or liberal issue. No other position is morally
tenable—Separating parents from children must stop now!
I know you
share this view. My request is that you be much more aggressive about it. Two thousand children torn away from their
parents constitutes a calamity—Even an extra day in detention can cause great harm.
Using
children as hostages in order to obtain funding for a border wall crosses the
border to evil from good—fight hard for what’s right, Congressman; fight the Liar
with fire!
The torch
of Lady Liberty is being dimmed; we’re depending on you and your colleagues to
make it shine brightly again.
Please rage,
rage, against the dying of the light!
If you have
any suggestions on how I can help, please let me know them.
Sincerely,
Thomas
Dorsett M.D., M.P.H.
