Proof: Political System Here is ROTTEN: I have gotten requests from 7 candidates for money in 2022

...All senate candidates and the names don't matter at all. The election is 19 months away & canidates
need money now.. Why? In order to get their grassroots campaign going now in order to beat the
Republican money that is coming in for "their opponents", whoever they may be...


....Yes, I have donated to many Democratic campaigns in the past, and will again. But isn't 19 months
ahead of November 2022 a little to soon? The way these letters read, the money is urgent and it is
needed ...NOW!!! What more can someone say?

Why so many mass shootings in the U.S.A?).13 Possible Answers..(Add More, Please)

1. Guns are very available in the U.S.A.
2. Mental Health programs are not as available as guns.
3. In order to buy a gun, it takes little time
4. In order to sign up for a free mental health program it takes many days..or more?
5. 330,000,000 people in the U.S.A.
6. Lots and lots of guns in the U.S.A. (yes, I think used guns are available to buy)
7. Takes some concern about a persons behavior to get that person to sign up for mental health program
8. Takes little concern about anything to buy a gun (depends on regulations of the state) But it is in the
Constitution that you can be "armed"
9. Guns are relatively cheap.
10 Mental Health Programs are very expensive compared to the cost of a gun. (depending on program)...
.......Yes, some are provided by states, but those take time to sign up for and get, unless an..."emergency"
11 While buying a gun is "easy and quick, and the product is acquired right away, the product from "Mental Health Programs"
is not easy or quick to attain, and often the product from such a program is ....NOT ATTAINED....and more searching
is needed to attain the "product" and a lot more time is needed to to gain some " mental health" than buying a gun.
12. Buying a gun is simple and easy to do....Signing up for and receiving a..Mental Health Program, and getting results..
.....IS NOT EASY TO DO!!!
13. No Federal Program in place to deal with this....yes, funding is available.. but only in the military are there programs to deal
.... with this...(that I know of...& I could be wrong, of course)

Those are 13 reasons...I am sure members of DU can come up with more...(Yes, please add more)

Please, Please, Please, ...Do Not Use Abbreviations or Terms Most of Us.. DO NOT KNOW...

...i saw an abbreviation for .."VCU"....I don't know..so I had to look it up...(Virginia Commonwealth University)

Often there are terms and abbreviations we have to look up, and sometimes we ignore them and don't
understand the post...This happens often and it slows us down. I don't know what to say, but it happens
so often...(and I guess I do it too???)... that this upsets me. Yes, I am upset very easily, but that is me,
and I know that I am not the only one.. How do I know?...This has been posted before a few times, and my guess is, that it will be posted again.. Thank You for reading this.

About Joe, in the future, I believe he will be one of our "GREATEST PRESIDENTS"

...Why predict that?...Joe's has incredible experience as a legislature provider, V.P., negotiator, government worker...etc....In addition, what Joe has been through personally, gives him experience that few leaders have been through. These qualifications as well as Joe's personal..."empathy" for people makes him qualified as few other people have ever been. (the exact opposite of Donald Trump)

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
