6,000 Vets To Denounce tRump Over The 4th Of July Weekend

This Fourth of July weekend, grassroots groups will run a full-page ad featuring 6,000 veterans who agree with former Trump Defense Secretary James Mattis that we must “hold accountable” President Donald Trump for making “a mockery of our Constitution.”

The ad, run by veterans organization Common Defense and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, will run first in the Harrisburg Patriot-News in Pennsylvania — the state where American democracy was born and the first Constitutional Convention was held.

“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people,” said Mattis, a 4-star Marine general who Trump appointed to lead America’s military. “We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership…We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution.” - PoliticusUSA

do nothing Congress on our hands and the gop will point fingers at Biden because that's all they got.
Believe Joe is such a sure win in Nov that we need to concentrate more on the down ballots. All my
future donations will be to Democrats running for Senate.
