Dear Senator Ted Cruz

The world and it's lack of respect for women is being less tolerated thanks to the voices of the #MeToo movement. I watched the process of the Supreme Court nominee and I can tell you as a victim of multiple childhood sexual abuse, you Senator Cruz must pick a side. I along with so many other women and men that have been violated (each in our own way) were watching with the hope that maybe this time our voices would not be overshadowed or shouted down and one of us would be heard with grace and reverence.

You should know, as time goes by the memories of our experience(s) move deeper and deeper (survival mode) which thankfully make the ability to recall our trauma(s) less descriptive. The details are not as clear. Somethings we will not remember but there are things we will never forget. Because of our silence we have been invisible. As we have started to share our truths we still scream silently as we continue to be overlooked or politely patted on the back with a condescending, there, there.

Judge Kavanaugh in his explosive belligerent rant that included "a calculated and orchestrated political hit fueled with apparent pent up anger about president Trump and the 2016 election. Revenge on the behalf of the Clintons because she lost the election" and other conspiracy nonsense clearly showed he does not have the temperment to sit on the Supreme Court. We aren't asking for much. We want our pain and suffering to be seen for what it is and to protect the Supreme Court from a person such as Kavanaugh who has multiple allegations that are concerning, to be seated for a lifetime appointment. Please have the courage to say no when you are asked to vote. Opening the FBI to the limited scope of investigation is a first step. Make your girls proud and vote no.

And no surprise, he voted for Kavanaugh. What a supreme mistake. And after the "boys" couldn't even ask their own questions. I guess they couldn't decide any different than the other "boys" on the committee. Can't wait to see if he has any intelligent thoughts about Khashoggi's murder or if he again falls in line with 45.

C'mon.

Ted.
