Moshier is right about one thing — the majority of Americans will NOT be satisfied until DJT hands in his resignation; many millions of us also want Impeachment and Imprisonment for the biggest conman and liar ever in the White House! It’s laughable and ignorant to blame “The Donald’s inability to keep his promises” on Democrats, who hold minority status in this government; the fractured Republican party can pass anything they can unite on. Citizens do have the right and the duty to get involved in upholding their own democracy, to get educated, to quit following “fake news personalities”, to call and show up at the offices of their legislators, to march, to protest against what diminishes our values; and this administration is hastily trying to rip up legislation that protects our rights, freedoms and progressive liberties. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, said that “upholding U.S. values endangers our national security”. Isn’t that a grand message — parroting the same ideology of President Trump, who seems to love every tyrant and despot on the world stage. The first 100 days of Trump’s presidency has been acrimonious, and he has not accomplished what he’d like; what he has done, has NOT been good! On Thursday, May 4, he signed an Executive Order to gut the 1954 Johnson Act, blurring the line separating church and state, allowing political preaching from the pulpit without churches losing their tax-exempt status. The War on Women gains stream daily, as evidenced today, May 4th; Republicans in the House passed the crueler version of the American House Care Act, which guts important protections by insurers: on maternity coverage, contraceptives, emergency care, pediatrics; it will raise insurance prices on older Americans and those with pre-existing conditions. All these cuts in coverage go to fund the huge tax-cut bill for the rich, which passed last week. WE CAN DRAIN THE SWAMP by sending these imposters home in 2018 and 2020! I am heartened by the tide turning against the corruption, greed, fraud and the rape-culture that exists in this country; heartened by the shake-up at Fox News, the firings of Ailes, O’Reilly and Bill Shine. Many who didn’t vote in 2016 and many who realize they were misinformed are awakening and getting out there. Don’t be afraid to be strident, women! Let our voices be heard! Speak up for the issues that directly affect us and our offspring, our parents and other loved ones, for our democracy! (And our Mama Earth!)
