Joe Biden was the right Democratic candidate for President in 2020 and he is tapping into the soul of America which is good. He desperately needs to be supported even if he is not quite as liberal as I am. I look back every day at how close we came to losing our country. Just a few votes in a …
In November, Trump banners, flags, and boards decorated the back roads in Wisconsin like a parade route on the Fourth of July. Even the sides of barns were painted like billboards for Trump. It proclaimed what had to be a landslide for the President. The source of this cult of personality, and hatred of all things Democrat, was FOX supplemented …
Prior to the Civil War, America called itself “these United States.” After the Civil War, America called itself “the United States” – the United States of America. It was only after six hundred and twenty-five thousand soldiers died and four million slaves were freed that America became one thing: a union and not simply a confederation of states. And it …
When day comes, we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never-ending shade?

We all know the court itself is badly divided and has been losing the respect of the public. Justice Ruth Bader …
Non-violence in the face of truth led to the end of legal segregation in the South. I know because in 1960, I was a student at the University of Florida. Blacks were forbidden to attend. There were separate drinking fountains separate swimming pools. For most whites, allowing equal rights for blacks was frightening. Politicians told them equality would lead to …
In life, luck of the draw and being in the right place at the right time often determines not only success but sometimes life and death itself. Kamala Harris is not the first and won’t be last politician to gain office because her life and events she had no control over came together in a way that benefitted her. …

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.
