Greetings Sister City

Friday, March 7

Dear Mayor, Assembly and Citizens of Whitehorse,

I am an American citizen reaching out to all of you in Whitehorse, our Sister City.

You all have the right to be alarmed and disappointed in the current US President's actions toward our Neighbors, Canada and Mexico. I and other Americans understand that because many, many Americans are feeling great fear and utter frustration by the actions of DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency, by dismantling government agencies and Donald Trump's erratic announcements about tariffs, turning against Ukraine and changing our course in international relations to buddy up with Putin.

I, along with a group of Juneau-ites are doing our best to speak up in mass to our Alaska state delegation, US delegation and local governments. We have a responsibility and are doing our best to speak up for freedom and democracy.

Remember, Donald Trump won by only 2.5 million votes. He did this by lying to the American public. Telling them what they wanted to hear, "I will decrease the price of eggs, don't you worry." He did it by distancing himself from the radical document Project 2025 which is not directing the slash and burn of our government agencies. He did it by withdrawing from the standard presidential debates because he didn't want to be fact checked. He went on radio broadcasts and podcasts such as Joe Rogan and the like to stir up an emotional allegiance because he has the quality as a reality show host to do that. He is a felon,an entertainer and a businessman and our president. These are all unfortunate facts.

Many Juneau-ites are standing up for freedom and democracy because we understand that it is in danger. Please keep the faith in us. Juneau-ties love Whitehorse as our Canadian Sister City.

In solidarity,

Laura Stats
