Above is the phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard where an operator will connect you directly with the office you request. Let your members of Congress know how you feel, about any given topic.
It matters.

This is called FASCISM
Off-loading Federal expenses to the States seems like a sensible idea for a Republican administration, until you realize:
Nine of the ten States that rely most on Government funding -- all receiving more money per capita than they pay in taxes -- voted Red in the last election.
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
And you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

“The most qualified candidate & the 1st woman President in 234 years was tackled on the White House steps by Trump, Fox, Comey & the Russian military
Men all over the world committed crimes to stop a woman from being our President
She still got more votes”

I don't think you can be a true patriot, or truly believe in a democracy and be MAGA at the same time.
I guess that's why we are here, now, living in these times.
He decided to wear an inappropriate bright blue suit and fell asleep.
Pathetic.

I will NOT celebrate that man who brought such carnage and disrespect to the ORIGINAL people of this nation. I will instead continue to find ways to honor Indigenous People and their history and culture. I love Italians but have zero respect for Columbus.
Bill said he was going to napalm a dog.
Bill said he was going to napalm a dog “For your amusement and edification.” Everyone was invited, and there was no admission charge. Bill said he was going to napalm the dog in front of the student union building on April 22, 1970 at noon.
He said.
Noon came, and hundreds gathered to protest Bill’s announced napalming of an innocent dog. They were intent on stopping Bill by any means necessary. Police were out in force. The County Prosecutor kept watch. An animal welfare officer, dressed in official animal welfare officer uniform, waited, with collar and leash in hand, to take the dog into protective custody. A little old lady handed out flyers for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Bill, dressed in a suit and tie, arrived at noon.
Bill addressed the crowd. Scientifically, objectively, clinically, he described napalm and it’s effects on flesh. The crowd directed its anger at Bill.
Bill asked the crowd “How many of you have come here today to see me napalm a dog?”
The crowd booed.
Bill asked the crowd “How many of you are willing to take action to stop me from napalming the dog?”
The crowd growled and shook their fists.
Bill said:
“I have some news for you. There is no napalm. There is no dog.
“You’ve come to stop me from committing a very immoral act. Good for you. But realize, it’s not happening to just one dog, it’s happening to tens of thousands of people compliments of the U.S. military, and we don’t seem to hear their screams. And just because it’s on the other side of the world doesn’t make it any less real or any less painful. So please, take your wonderful morality and apply it to the war in Vietnam and not just to this protest here today.”
“Thank you for your morality.”
There was silence. Then applause. Bill walked quietly through the crowd back to his dorm room.
Without violence, without argument or shouted slogans, with only a creative mind, an eye for guerrilla theater, and a sense of humor, Bill made his point and got others to look at and see things in a way they hadn’t before.
Twelve days later, May 4th, 1970, two hundred yards to the east of where Bill had spoken, students gathered and acted on their morality, protesting the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. That afternoon, 13 students shed their blood, shot by the National Guard. 4 died.
Bill was among the demonstrators there on May 4th, 1970, protesting the war and the National Guard’s presence at Kent State University. Bill was not shot, but the trauma scarred Bill for life.
Bill spent most of his career teaching high school in inner city Cleveland. Bill struggled with his mental health, and he shared his struggles openly. Bill never let go his commitment to the cause of peace and social justice. Bill’s most recent cause was freedom for the people of Ukraine. Bill traveled to Ukraine several times, working with refugees from the war in the Donbas, and serving as an election monitor. Bill Arthrell died in a car accident a few years ago; well before his time.
Live in power, rest In peace.
Bill Arthrell.
