Will history conclude that these are the days to sit back and do nothing?

First they deport over 600,000 people, without due process

Next they murder 123 alleged traffickers on the high seas, without evidence.

Since September they've shot 9 people

Then they murdered a man in his car

And they commit piracy!

Now they’ve murdered an American Citizen in her car.

Will history conclude that:
"These are the days to sit back and do nothing?"

We can only answer what we, as individuals, will do. So, what will you do? I'm undecided about what I will do at this point..

We have to get behind good candidates and support them with our labor. They will be out spent and the grass roots energy can win. I've won 3 out of 4 elections I've helped direct.

We've had over 800 volunteers involved in electing City Council candidates. We raised a ton of money and the "loyal opposition" with their dark, out of state money spent our whole campaign budget in the last 2-3 weeks of the election.

We won anyway.

There are many more us us than their are 'reich wing" nutz. But most of us are too apathetic to do anything. Many don't even vote.

End of sermon
