We are patient, we will wait but we won't forget. [View all]

I for one remember the first bully I encountered in the first grade or the white teacher , Mr. Stanton that used a book to wallop my behind in the 1st grade because I was in the the boys room and couldn't make it back in time after recess. Yes some of this administration has a spot in that part of my memory that will remain until I am cremated. That is probably true of many of us.

One day soon, you will no longer be under the protection of the Federal Government, some sooner than others. I have no threat to make only the knowledge that one day you will be in a restaurant, bar, club, grocery store or golf club and the people that you threatened, intimidated or hurt will be there. That bump you feel in a crowd, that feeling of being watched or followed, that fear for you and your family is real. Suspicions about the food you're eating, the cigarette burn in your dry cleaning the anonymous letters you might recieve are all very real possibilities. Especially for those of you that aren't billionaires that must walk amongst the common folk. I am as sure as the sun rising tomorrow that some of you will experience what we have experienced. Who will be there for you? Not I, I can assure you, not I.
