Happy 4th of July?

Not a lot to celebrate this year, what with the Supreme deciding last year that women have no rights to their own bodies, and then deciding this year that racism in America is over so there is no need for Affirmative Action, or that The Gays can be discriminated against because of someone’s Faux Faith.

On the upside, SCOTUS also told both Louisiana and Alabama that their GOP politicians cannot redraw districts to keep Black Americans from having their voices heard at the polls.

Heard at the polls.

Think of what could happen if all the people of color, who are once again being told they are less than, voted this year and next year and the year after?

Think of what could happen if all the women who are once again being told that they cannot make their own healthcare choices voted this year and next year and the year after?

Think of what could happen if all the LGBTQ+ people who are once again being told they are less than voted this year and next year and the year after?

Think of what could happen if all the people who are allies of people of color and of women and of the LGBTQ+ community voted this year and next year and the year after?

Think on that and maybe next year, and the year after and the year after, the Fourth of July would be worth celebrating for ALL Americans.

  2. The Democrats campaign team should employ you Bob. Anger and imagination make a powerful mix.

  3. Vote Blue is right. The only way to save America is to take Republicans out of Power.

  6. If every "minority" votes perhaps, with any luck, they will overcome the so-called moral majority.

    Can I hear an AMEN! I always vote for the person I think is best qualified and it has been MANY years since I found someone not blue to earn my vote. Don't see that changing anytime soon, either...

  10. I can't vote anything other than blue because it's been so long since I saw a Republican qualified to hold office. It's really sad that so many people don't bother to vote.

    Love,
