"But eventual repair will also take a constant clarion call among the majority dedicated to democracy—to assert what’s at stake and to remind each other about the dreadful role the extremists continue to play in putting our way of life in danger. " Thank you, Mr. Beschloss for this eloquent and powerful call to arms. We can't wait for MAGA extremists to wake up to what America is. It is our duty to do what we can to vote them out at every opportunity.

Every idea gets lost in the repetition of its use. Beautiful ideas democracy, freedom, voting for one's leaders, freedom without license to speak one's truth, "serve the people," 'Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,' all become slogans... until we can speak to what that means in our daily lives.

Today, in my neighborhood, a foreign company has purchased the land next door to my home and plans to create a noisy, toxic, traffic jamming, metal shredding business.. I understand the EPA says within 1/2 mile of these shredders is a zone of 'extreme danger.' DEMOCRACY: I have the right to rally my neighbors, protest, write letters, sue... what ever it takes to protect my family and neighbors to stop this. Hopefully we will win. We will vote out the politicians who didn't stop this before it started. Thank you America.
