My issue with the JPR site is the content of many if not most of the threads. The support of Russia and Putin is sad as is the delight on that thread that Trump is POTUS. There are posters on JPR who are proud of being russian trolls and who are happy that trump is POTUS. The number of Stein supporters is really sad and disappointing.
I have been a delegate to many state conventions and to the National Convention where I got to witness the some really sad and disgusting behavior by Sanders delegates. Calling my youngest child obscene names because these idiots claimed that she betrayed her generation and watching the BOBs booed John Lewis were just the tip of the iceberg. I remember the JPR threads who were proud of the disruptive behavior by the Sanders delegates including threads about the booing of John Lewis at the National Convention.
Again, one of my main issues with JPR is the content of the posts on that site. If you approve of the content on the JPR site, that is your business. Do not expect others to share your approval of such content. I do not support Russia, Putin or Trump. I also do NOT support people who attack Congressman John Lewis.
As for autographs, I have signed copies of John Lewis' March books and have met and shook his hand more than once. I have heard Congressman Lewis' preaching to chickens story six times now and it never gets old. I have also met Keith Ellison on several occasions and have some great pictures of Lewis, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Ellison at an event (Lewis and Ellison are approximately the same height and so these pictures are really funny). I also met John Edwards back in 2008 when I was part of the Kerry Edwards voter protection team in Florida. Edwards, DWS and other came through the Broward county headquarters where I and many out of state of attorneys were working to protect voting rights. We had 800 out of state attorneys just in Broward County and 3000 out of state attorneys in Florida in 2004.
Again, do not expect me to approve of a large number of the posters on the JPR site or the content on that site. I do not support Russia, Putin, Stein, Trump or people who think that destroying the Democratic Party would be a good thing.
