Aaah, I see. You are thinking “what if“ as a form of gratitude and appreciation. Very nice. I am feeling joy today, which means I’m feeling grateful for everything including you and this forum. We are blessed to have Heather, to have this forum for companionship, and for Joe and Kamala. Our greatest blessing right now politically also…

We are blessed to have Heather, to have this forum for companionship, and for Joe and Kamala. Our greatest blessing right now politically also includes having won that Georgia Senate election. Wow. We are in the catbird seat. We are sitting pretty. Adios voter suppression, you are outta here.
Well, living here in Georgia, the Repugs are doing their damndest to rig the midterms, heavily suppress absentee voting, shorten early voting access, etc., and most of their ploys are passing in the legislature. It remains to be seen whether Shotgun Kemp will veto any of it. The Lt. Governor, Duncan, already is having the vapors over whether they'll get enough blowback to unseat them, so is boycotting the bills. Even with Stacey and the bills before Congress, we're not in the clear yet, but hopefully we'll prevail. The country's "freedom margin" is razor thin, but barring disaster, we are the majority and it's ours to lose. People are beginning to see that if they knit a spine for themselves and scream loud enough, we can beat the bullies. Fright isn't an option. Kick 'em HARD.
Nancy: a question for you about the process of bills in GA-does your state allow remote testimony about the bills (online or written) from the public, lobbyists, elected officials, state agency staff members of the public, and judicial branch employee/officials i.e. input regarding bills? It permits those individuals to choose support or opposition to whatever bill is up for consideration? Here in NH, we can do so and for about the past month, I've been giving my input by following the lead of a progressive group who post those bills, what they're about, and the group's stance on the bill. A couple weeks ago, a bill received 7 K responses from progressives and less than 1K from regressives. Sad to say. since the Nov. election, we have a Republican Quadrafecta Gov., House, Senate, and the Executive Council (an advisory board). The thing that scares me is that the House Judiciary Committee is talking about abolishing the Remote Testimony. It appears they want to be totally opaque and refuse to accept any input from the public. I wouldn't be surprised if all the House and Senate Committees will do likewise.
