Brother Sends - Sister Gives

Brother, who lives in Maryland, copied this email onto his aptly titled My Sisters What's App chat: 

Hey everybody, it's Mark Kelly.

For some reason, Elon Musk just attacked me on Twitter — calling me a “shill”.

Look — he can go to war behind his keyboard all he wants. It’s a free country. But I’ve launched into orbit 4 times, I flew 39 combat missions in Desert Storm, and I held my wife’s hand in the hospital after she was shot in the head. 

I don’t scare easily, and I don’t really care what he thinks of me.

What I do care about is that he is gutting our government, illegally firing federal workers, illegally dismantling independent federal agencies, spreading conspiracies, and empowering extremists.

I’m going to defend working families and the middle class against President Trump and Elon Musk with everything I’ve got. 

And Elon: When you finally get the nerve to climb into a rocket ship yourself, give me a call.

That's the Mark I've seen, up close and personal.

Why Brother got the email and I did not remains a mystery.  But I was glad to read it and share the love with my siblings.

Sister was so impressed that she sent $50 to his campaign.

There were 1300 people at the four corners near the Tesla dealership last weekend, protesting Elon.  I drove behind a Tesla with an I bought this before I knew he was an asshole sign in the back window.  TBG tells me that the stock has tumbled.  And with all of this, my Senator shot right back at the fool... and garnered a fifty dollar donation that would have gone elsewhere.

I have been smiling all weekend.
