I strongly suspect that free speech as a function of free thought, on a foundation of caring and sharing, might be THE single most powerful element in a functioning democracy. And that especially pertains to a free press. IMO the Renaissance was in large part ushered in by the invention of the printing press and the concurrent interest in literacy within the general populace. It led to discussion and exchange and, perhaps the awakening to the fact that people other than Kings and their Crewes had worthwhile ideas, and their own defacto 'divine rights.' Then, as now, we must uphold this right with our each and every action.

I agree with you and want this to be true. We should come together as a nation and make our demands. Yes. But will that be enough ? Last time we had a king, it took more than that.

Has this so-called administration stopped their heinous activities at all so far? With so many Republicans in government unwilling to put country before personal gain, even though they know most Americans are against them, will your strategy work.? It's necessary yes. But is it sufficient? I hope to God I'm wrong and coming together even more really does work. It would help if our allies around the world would do something besides shaking their heads, laughing at us, and yet bowing down to our fearless leader. It would also help if our military would not obey "illegal" orders. Our legal system is putting up some roadblocks but many, including the majority of Supreme Court "Justices" are also putting personal loyalty and aggrandizement before country.

Rest assured that in spite of my concerns, I'll be with you and continue to do all I can to stop the madness. History, though, suggests we need more. It doesn't make me happy to say this, and I know that some of you might yell at me. But I had to say what's on my mind. I hope I am wrong.

People are waiting for a leader to come forward to save them but I am afraid that in this case they are going to be disappointed. We the people are going to have to do this.

I believe that this is literally spiritual warfare and I’m doing what I can with the weapons I have at my disposal; networking. Hopeful signs are beginning to emerge. Allahu Akbar. God is indeed Great.

YES!!!! This Nation Must Demand ‘Action, and Action Now’! A Coalition to Save American Freedom hits the exactly right note! A Star Spangled Banner and Battle Hymn of the Republic for today. As a regular person waiting on the wings to do something other than standing on the side of the road with 200 other people holding placards and counting how many people beep, a gathering, of course preferably in person, but by whatever means possible, garnering numbers like you’ve never seen before, Mr Trump, is exactly what I am up for. What’s the chance that Fox cover it? I was excited when I read Karl Rove’s op-ed. This could be the icing. I’m in!!!!
