Cease and Desist because his fragile feelings are hurt. He craves adulation just like his pal Donnie.

“After a local outlet reported that Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R - AR Iran) office sent cease and desist letters to constituents Democrats, demanding that they stop any communications with the senator’s office their 1st Amendment right ‘to petition the government for a redress of grievances’, Cotton’s office explained that it does send such letters coercive threats against free and legally-protected speech.”

Fixed.

Every Hill office gets correspondence from people they feel are cranks. It comes with the territory. A staffer send some variation on a form letter in reply. It’s not a big deal.

Back in the '60s, Steve Young, a Democratic senator from Ohio, would reply to cranks with letters that said, “Some idiot is sending me letters and signing your name. I thought you would want to know.”

Please cease and desist being a Senator, Mr. Cotton.

We are living under “extreme circumstances” everyday with Republicans that are “harassing and vulgar” and threatening to all of us.

Wouldn’t a normal letter have an addressee included in the letter? Looks strange, generic, and toothless. Sort of like the senator himself when he contorts himself to tell outright lies to protect DontheJohn.

Anyone who voted for Cotton is bound to be slow on the old uptake, it just took them a while to realize he really is an a-hole…

AR…the man is showing you his ass. It’s the most important thing to look at when you evaluate a pol. This flake campaigned on being a tough guy. Combat vet…hard ass…the whole bit. But he’s so fragile and out of touch he seems to think that fat government check he gets was supposed to be for a warm and fuzzy job. You have to be nice to him or he’ll send you a nasty-gram. That’s who he really is. That’s what AR got. Not the gun toting bad ass he pretended to be but a snowflake who’ll “call the cops” on you. Like that fucked up neighbor you have.

If I got one of these I’d send it back with a butt print on it and send a copy to the Capitol Police as well so they’d be ready for his cry baby fit. With the comment " You don’t get to fuck with us without us fucking back".

AR elected him to the Senate after he spent a term in the House jamming up legislation that would have helped his constituents.

They’re not sending their best opinions. They’re not sending your opinions. They’re not sending your opinions. They’re sending opinions that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing stupidity. They’re bringing clueless. They’re uninformed. And some, I assume, are good opinions.
