A new "If a tree falls in the forest---" question to consider:

If a white cop kills an unarmed, handcuffed, compliant black man in custody for a non-violent offense and there is no video, has a crime been committed?

We are REQUIRED to answer this question on November 3rd.

GOTV!

than "answering a question" on November 3.

Who's on your town council?
What's the name of your Chief of Police?
What is their budget?
Who's on your school board?
