Honorable Vince Fong,
I request that you support House Resolution 185 to advance responsible policies. This bill may also be known as the “Epstein Files Transparency Act”.
I am certain that you understand that the damage done to children who are raped is profound and lasts a lifetime. You seem to be someone of good character, so I think that you might agree that no amount of “the ends justify the means” can excuse away the horrific acts by Jeffrey Epstein, his clients, and collaborators. As someone who believes in the rule of law and the fundamental advantage that the USA has because our judicial system is not easily bought off, these perpetrators need to be brought to justice as proof that the system still works. I request that you publicly support this bill, that you vote in favor of this bill, and support your other members of Congress who also support this bill.
Thank you for your time and attention to this.
David Gerisch

One of the interesting things I’ve read was a question put to people who had experience in both the USA and in other countries. The question was “What is the biggest difference between your home country and the USA?” The answer was that the USA follows the rule of law more than other countries do. Here in the USA, we simply assume that the judiciary cannot be bought, and that is mostly true. In many other countries, it is far less true than what we have here in the USA. Someone cannot cheat their neighbor out of property or money and simply expect that a large bribe will make the judicial problem disappear. That doesn’t happen here (mostly), and if someone tried it, the newspapers, radio, and television would have a grand old time running the story. This is the primary reason I never want to see government subsidies for mass media: once the newspapers / radio / television got hooked on that government subsidy money, they’d be thrall.
