John, Mark Kelly here.
Around 6:30pm this Saturday there will be tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue in our nation’s capital.
The official reason is to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Army. But we all know what’s really happening.
Trump’s taking that anniversary and using it as an excuse to put on the big birthday parade he never got in his first term. So he can show everyone how tough he is. So he can play the strong man while he erodes the democracy the Army has fought to defend.
It’s a waste of time. It’s a waste of resources. It’s an insult to the men and women who wear the uniform and the generations who came before them.
With everything Trump’s doing right now, I can’t think of anybody who deserves a parade less than him. But, like it or not, this parade is going to happen. That’s just the truth.
It’s what comes next that truly matters, and that’s why I’m writing to you today.
Back when I kicked off my first campaign for Senate, VoteVets was there. They had my back, just like they’ve had the backs of thousands of other veterans who wanted to continue serving their country in elected office.
No organization is better positioned to defend against the worst of this president — and to take the next step. To fight back and turn the tide. To get good people elected in places we need to win, and to take back the House and Senate.
