Happy 4th of July?

Sort of a repost from last year with a bit of new stuff tossed in …

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; deciding that bribery, er, gratuities, to government officials, is okay, but homelessness is a crime; deciding bump stocks, an  aftermarket product designed to make a semi-automatic rifle fire faster so you can kill faster, are okay.

But 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? How would America look then?

And think of what could happen if all the women who are once again being told that they cannot make their own healthcare choices, even on birth control, voted this year and next year and the year after? Think of what life would be like then.

Then 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? How would it feel to be equal in the eyes of your own country?

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.

Think of this  … Joe Biden will be fine if he doesn’t win the presidency but …

It’s women who won’t be,

It’s visible minorities who won’t be.

It’s LGBTQ+ Americans who won’t be.

It’s non-Christian religions that won’t be.

It’s th4e disable community that won’t be.

It’s the Middle Class who won’t be.

It’s the working poor who won’t be.

It’s the health of the planet that won’t be.

So …
