What Meryl did is what we need our politcal leaders to do. [View all]

And I will remind them of this very instance from last night with Meryl.

Not ONE senator objected to the certifying of the electoral vote this week. Not ONE. Several Reps. objected on the basis of election corruption & irregularities, and hacking. All valid! Not one senator would object as well.
(See this thread for info: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028440893)

It probably would not have changed the outcome of the vote, but it would have changed so much in other ways. One big change would be what is going on right now in response to Meryl's eloquence. Her actions and speech has gotten massive media coverage and it has uplifted moral.

Our political leaders must speak out, loudly, and often!
