Probably a form letter, but Hawley sees the issues for what they are.

January 21, 2021

Dear JOS51700,


Thank you for contacting me about the 2020 presidential election. I appreciate the time and effort you took to share your perspective with me on this important issue, and welcome the opportunity to respond.

I objected during the Joint Session count of electoral votes in order to have a debate on the issue of election integrity. My objection proceeded according to the letter of the statute, which specifically permits for objections and debate, and followed the traditions of Congress. In fact, dozens of Democratic members of Congress have lodged objections in precisely the same forum over the last three decades. To be specific, Democrats objected after the elections of 2000, 2004, and 2016–in other words, every time a Republican has won the White House in the last thirty years. And they were within their rights to do so. The Joint Session is the forum where concerns about an election can be raised, debated, and ultimately resolved with a vote.

When Democrats in Congress objected during the certification of electoral votes in order to raise concerns about election integrity in 2000, 2004, and 2016, they were praised by Democratic leadership and the media.

Many Missourians have deep concerns about election integrity. They want Congress to take action to see that our elections at every level are free, fair, and secure. They have a right to be heard in Congress. And it is my duty to speak on their behalf.

I am proud to represent you in Congress. Your voice helps make this country and our democracy strong. These are difficult days for our country. All I can promise you is that I will do my best, day in and day out, to represent your voice, no matter who criticizes me. And I will do my utmost to preserve, protect and defend this republic that we call home.

As always, I truly appreciate hearing your concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future on other issues important to you and your community. It is a privilege to be your voice in Congress. If you would like to get regular updates on my work in the Senate, please visit my website at www.hawley.senate.gov or follow me on social media at @SenHawleyPress.

Sincerely,



Josh Hawley
United States Senator

He has a lot of potential. Expect the Left try to take him down in a preemptive strike.

Proud that he’s one of my senators.  Also of note: the left went into high gear trying to get his book deal cancelled but they never would mention what it was about.  “The Tyranny of Big Tech” is a fitting title for the times we’re in.

Well, he has “deep concerns” which is probably a little more than just being concerned.

At least it’s better than what we got. We now have a bisexual liberal and a Marxist who’s wife was shot by one of her own constituents for not being liberal enough.

Hope he doesn’t end up like Dan Crenshaw. That guy...Congress does things to good men. Crenshaw is the biggest POS and we have called him out since he walked into Congress.

Crenshaw is trying to win a popularity contest with the establishment. He is ultimate proof that just because you served doesn't mean you're a patriot.

I'm proud of him.  I wish at least one of my senators was even 3/4 as good as he is.

The signs were there with Crenshaw before he won the primary.  He was the least bad choice of the candidates that had a chance to win the general.

Yes because Ben Sasse and Deb Fischer put up a real fight for us didn't they. I had to look up the Nebraska senators because no ones ever heard of them.

The Democrats in congress objected duiring the certification of electoris votes in 2000, 2004 and 2016, but in reality, I doubt many here even remember that.

Know why that is?

Because the president in 2020 was a little whiney bitch who did nothing but run his mouth because he thought there was no way he could lose.  The ONLY thing Hawley did was ride the coatails of the followers of Trump and tried to make a name for himself.  The issue is he didn't forsee the lawbreaking rioters on the capital and it bit him in the ass.  I'm guessing for the most part, his political career will be on the downside unless he goes to the new party Trump worshippers hope to be created.  

Trump didn't drain the swamp, all he did was put new snakes in.

That was the only thing he done huh? For ONCE I saw an elected official stand up for what he thought was right and what his constituents wanted, right or wrong. By God that is a rare thing anymore. He rolled the dice and lost but at least he took a chance. I approve of this and like the name he made for himself. I will vote for him again and so will a lot of Missourians. What did your senators do?

Wait he sent me the same letter!  \


Are you telling me they have form letters?  I expected a heart felt personal reply.

I should copy that letter and send it to little Marco Rubio. Add a note.

This is how a REPUBLICAN senator is supposed to act you fuckweasel.

He is one of the VERY few who deserve (so far, it can always change) the label "for the people."

I'm not never voting for a Republican again as I will look forward to voting for him.

He keeps popping up on my radar as solid.

He is one of three politicians in office that I trust to not stab me in the back too badly.

I mention these two guys often, but don’t discount Rand Paul and Thomas Massie.

Raised the question with my rep that if objecting is “unconstitutional” as he put it, why is there even a vote? Is it supposed to be a rubber stamp?  

Have yet to hear back from him.

My two senators were for objecting until they were against it.  I will not vote for those two pieces of crap next time. They either get primaried or I’ll write my dogs name in on the vote.

I don't see that letter as anything more than mild pandering in what should be a hair on fire moment.

Better than the response I would expect from 87% of congress sure,.. but not really a "this guy gets it" kinda feel.

People should be swinging from the rafters right now.

Makes me sick.
