Jerry and I are actively supporting these nine Democratic Candidates for the U.S. Senate. We chose these nine seats because we believe they have the best chance of winning. The easiest way to donate is to use ACT BLUE. You may already have an account with ACT BLUE. However some of you, like myself, may want to write a letter …
November 2020, like November 2016 offers Americans a stark choice—do we want to continue going down or do we want to reverse course. Much that was good about America has been destroyed in less than four years. While almost nothing has been accomplished to make life better for most Americans. Ironically, those in the Red states who voted for Trump …
America is in big trouble and it is not just about Trump. The partisan divide is about being stuck in hate and division vs. a different future for our country. It has infected our politics at every level right down to whether to care enough about others to wear a mask to end a deadly pandemic.

The televised pictures of a policeman’s knee on the neck of an unarmed handcuffed black man, choking the life out of him, as fellow officers stand idly watching it happen held up a mirror into the soul of America in 2020. You cannot watch those pictures and the many others like it, and, like the cops, simply stand idly by …
Our country is falling apart in bitter divisiveness. Our President’s behavior is an embarrassment even to his supporters. He seems to admire Russia, Putin, other dictators, and himself more than his own advisors. Our Government is barely functioning. People are dying.
In 2020, if we all vote and encourage our neighbors and friends to vote, we can make a difference. …
In a daily email entitled “Letters from an American”, Historian Heather Cox Richardson is writing the history of the destruction of American democracy in real time. It is the first thing I read each morning.

All conspiracies depend on giving less credence to what is obvious in favor of a remote preferably hidden or secret explanation. The expression “if you hear hoof beats think horses rather than zebras” is appropriate for the latest virus origin story.
