fear that no one in our Party has been able to stop this nightmare. I know and live your frustrations, too. Indeed...WTF!!

I’m no shrinking violet.
I write, I have marched and bad knees willing I will march again, I sign petition after petition (does it even matter, really?) I post on several social media sites where I can possibly sway minds, I civilly debate face to face.

I have to believe in the strength of my convictions. I have to at the very least throw that spirit of strength out there defiantly into the weird, whatever you want to call it aura of wordless rebellion. Fierce hope? The Force??
I can’t fold.
We can’t.
We won’t.
