"TERSE letter" but I agree it's baby steps right now. Each step more folks get on the train to victory with us. With every single protest whether it be written, showing up in person, or with our wallets we are increasing our numbers, our presence and our impact.

I’d like to see military officers and enlisted personnel become more proactive across the board, as well as veterans groups active now.

It won't. The popsicle stick of World dominating power has been licked. Every time in human history that fucking thing gets within a tastebud, blood in the streets.
