What Did I Do For MY Democracy? The Answer Rests With YOU

We as citizens have an obligation to speak out against the federal government

Expect and insist free and fair elections

DO NOT become cynical about elections

Phone calls matter to legislators

Yard signs matter

Everybody has a townsquare where we can make our voices heard So Engage Don’t shy away from difficult conversations Let them know how you feel about people disappearing off the streets is not OK Taking away medical care from our unfortunate citizens for tax breaks for the uberwealthy

Show up to Protest

Wrote to Sen. Thune today re MacArthur Park incident:

Sen. Thune,

Who in the hell is in charge of our government? Is it Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Nome? Who ordered the military exercise in MacArthur Park in CA on Sunday? There was no protest. There was no Riot. There were children playing! Whoever ordered armored vehicles and mounted soldiers to run roughshod through the park needs to be brought before Congress for hearings and FIRED. Why are the National Guard and Marines still in CA? There is nothing going on there and both should have been withdrawn a long time ago. There is no excuse except to intimidate and scare people and children at plan. You didn't stand up for the American people when passing the budget bill. Unless you want Donald Trump to become a dictator, stand up for America NOW.

YOU CAN WRITE TO CONGRESS TOO!

I am a straight cis white Southern Boomer male. I feel soooo much safer now than I ever have in my life! I can walk down the street without being assaulted by South American drug cartels. I don't have to worry about employment actions taken against me if I express my 'natural' male gender role in front of women at work. Hell, I am REALLY looking forward to when I get the go-ahead to casually drop the N-word in every conversation. Now THAT will be a red-letter day!

I don't know what these women are harping on. If anybody dares to attack the US of A, King Trump will merely vaporize them. Problem solved.

This is the first of your videos I've heard. You were recommended by a friend. I'm an enthusiastic fan. Lots of well-structured content and entertaining besides.
