I urge you to add language to your form letter that will remind the recipients that THEY will be the victims of this bad precedent when it is time for them to be thrown under the bus. It is pathetic that so few career politicians realise that the bulk of the pyramid is TOTALLY EXPENDABLE and only a rare, selected few ever rise above the smog.
Seems like the prosecutors should be sanctioned and have their bar licenses lifted. This is disgusting. Prosecuting someone for a meme. And they can't even identify a specific intended victim which is what this anti-KKK statute was designed to protect.
The argument the feds are likely to lean on is that his tweets included a specific "how" to vote, in contrast to the unprosecuted Trump version you embedded. Also, apparently they have a witness to establish intent to deceive. In other words, it seems less satire than propaganda.
So should super specific propaganda around elections be a form of protected speech? Or is it akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater in terms of its corrosive effects? Or, perhaps more accurately, impersonating a federal official?
Why doesn't the Florida AG intervene to protect it's citizen(s)?
Who's on his legal team?
Just wrote to Ron Johnson WI senator (r) and he will get involved.
He's a Minnesota boy and the type of official we need more of these days!
The 'fight' is worth it-don't despair. Laying down is what 'they' expect!
Wow. Difficult times, for us all.

Emailed multiple congressmen.
Excellent work, Paulos. Very brave and eloquent.

The Republican Party is worthless.
Not even a peep from RonDe? This is why he should stick to the job he has.
If this guy is convicted, we are now officially a communist country. Absolutely sickening.
The trial is taking place in New York City of all places. He doesn't stand a chance. Jury of his peers my ass...

Honestly I'm not sure where I stand on the case.
Is Mackey being held in prison or is he on bail?
Is his court hearing in Florida?
