For the first time in about 9 years, I feel hopeful that the citizens of America will get a fair choice in representation in 2024, so that good government will heal our divide over time. I know that there is so much more we have to grind for, but it is actually working. This is no time to rest on our laurels; in fact we should all push harder to bear out the liars, and to show that living with equity doesn’t disenfranchise anybody; or that paying taxes is patriotic; or that we can live with new energy resources. IT ALL STARTS WITH FAIR ELECTIONS!
