34. Wouldn't it be fantastic to see a declaration that names the usurpations and abuses signed by EVERY

...Democratic member of the House and Senate, all 24 Democratic Governors and AG's, and any Republican Governor or member who have a single bit of moral fiber left.

A declaration that not only names the crimes against our human rights, our constitution, our body of laws, our treaties, and against our allies, but that is a statement to the people of this nation, and the people of the world, that there is a powerful block of U.S. States and members of the U.S. House and Senate who are united in doing everything in their power to protect their constituents and the residents of their states against the intolerable abuses being perpetrated by the corrupt forces that have co-opted our executive branch.

I know that herding Democrats is harder than herding cats, but this crisis demands an unprecedented show of unity and solidarity. If our leaders can't figure how how to stand together, united, behind a single powerful declaration of wrongs, how can they expect us to believe they'll figure out how to stand together to not just right those wrongs, but enact reforms that make it possible to get back on the path to a more perfect union that SERVES us??? (e.g., put an end to gerrymandering, ensure truly free and fair elections, put an end to citizens united, for starters, wealth tax, tax capital gains higher than labor, progressive income tax)
