It's time to get loud. [View all]

"We are standing on the precipice of losing our democracy."

That's what's at stake, according to Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose opinion I respect and whose evaluation of the situation I completely trust. I fully agree with that statement and it has prompted me to become involved in as many ways as I can, including here.

"Look, the most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority", she said, taken from a quote in an article in The Financial Times.

What are the priorities? There's a lot on which to put the focus but the party seems to be drifting here. There's January 6th, that's a big one, there's the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade, also a big one, and there's the gun control issue where a trickle of progress should indicate the power behind this political issue. There's the war in Ukraine which, predictably, is fading out of the news cycle. It's time to get loud. That's the motivation. Democratic party leaders, get in the huddle and get the play sorted out to win the game. Sorry for the sports analogy but it works.
