the FSM says 'no', and our sovereignty is disrespected, with the PRC saying we have achieved a consensus when we have not.
I am acutely aware that informing you all of this presents risks to my personal safety; the safety of my family; and the safety of the staff I rely on to support me in this work.
Back those fighting for the things we consider shared values and--it seems odd to even have to say this--that are in the U.S. interest.
the sovereignty of our nation, the prosperity of our nation, and the peace and stability of our nation, are more important.
