I have seen you speaking Truth to Power on the floor of Congress. I am grateful for your efforts. The statements that you make here are important.
Unfortunately, a few people are talking and numerous people are asking for money. When it was Kamala Harris, I made four donations and it was a sacrifice because I am a retired person. Meanwhile , Republicans were busy tampering with voting machines, intimidating potential voters and trashing votes.
When George W. Bush was elected with the “hanging chad” maneuver, we let it slide. When he sent us to an undeclared war, we were complicit. And while we donated to ACT BLUE, President Biden was the best that the Democratic Party could come up with as a follow up to Donald Trump the first time.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Joe Biden is a brilliant man. I think he did an excellent job. But we should have known that the job was too tough for an elderly man who plays by the rules. Cancer loves stress. President Biden is paying the price for his service to our country.
Vice president Harris would have made a great president. But she was the easy and obvious choice. The Democratic Party has done nothing to groom candidates for a long time.
I can’t help wondering where all the donations are going. We aren’t able to secure our elections, we aren’t able to groom candidates, and though the people have voted for campaign spending limits, nothing has been done about it.
You may say that the Republican majority is responsible. It is responsible in part. President Obama was able to pass a healthcare bill which presidents on both side sides of the aisle have been trying to pass for years. He was working with a hostile Congress. He never asked me for money.
The current situation is bitter and frustrating. We are constantly being asked to donate usually as an appendix to a video full of terrifying threats. There is a criminal in the White House and we let it stand. not only that, but we are standing by watching that criminal destroy our democracy, make a joke out of our system of law, and establish concentration camps. I am grateful to the judges, who, in spite of threats, are standing by their principles and their duty. Likewise, I am grateful to senator Adam Schiff who is being prosecuted on some phony baloney charge charge in an attempt to neutralize him.
The time for playing politics is over. The time for talk is long passed. There is strength in numbers. We must all move out of our comfort zone.
Morality is not a luxury. But it is going to come with a permanent change. In the way we do things. We have to be more forward looking. We have to expect the worst. Sometimes we will have to fight dirty. It will have to be done within the confines of the law. Because we know what it looks like to be lawless.
It is difficult to motivate people who have such a great benefit package. If I were told that my healthcare was guaranteed and that I would receive an excellent stipend for the rest of my life because of the job that I did, it would be difficult for me to risk that.
I was a critical care nurse for 41 years. I relied on my government. Social Security is not a gift. I paid into it. It is outrageous that anyone could threaten this system. It is outrageous. That benefits have been stripped from those in need many of whom are innocent children, not to mention people who have served our country either in government offices or in the military , is an obscenity.
Waiting for the midterm elections is a fool hearty philosophy. Begin with accountability. If you want me to donate I need to know exactly what the money is being used for. Voting records need to be published. Members of Congress might consider appearing at protests. We must anticipate the future. This means organizing and anticipating future criminal activities on the part of Donald Trump and his cabinet.
You know better than I do what this means. I am counting on your fire.
The AFL CIO protest has a slight slant towards worker's rights, while the MayDay protest leans more into civilian rights. Each speaks out against the Trump Regime.
Both have marches and rallies, while the AFL CIO is also hosting picnics and parades. They each share some of the same local events. Why not attend both?

IT's great to see that a Congressman is supporting the grassroots organizations that have taken over the direction of the resistance to the current administration. It seems as if the leaders of the Democratic Party are still spinning in small circles while the country collapses. There are many fine young candidates running in Democratic primaries. These are more energetic and have new ideas about how to brake through the MAGA wall of lies and build a new government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Bingo.
