And the what extends to other places in the world. What is happening in Russia where the young generation has woken up and protested in masses. What will happen to Putin? Will he be overthrown in a new version of perestroika and glasnost? Deserves it for sure!!
What is happening all over the world with right wing extremist parties coming to the fore? Will we have another world wide hate fest? And will we allow the entire continent of Africa to starve to death, to die of Middle Ages diseases that should have been eliminated decades ago? Will we allow their continent and indeed the whole world to disappear as we know it in a climate apocalypse? Just ask Trump about that as he signed an order today just about unraveling all that Obama has done for the climate and environment. Does Trump think that the air in his hotels will be clear and clean and to hell with the rest of us?
And what about the confession that came out today - there must be cuts in domestic humanistic programs and why? So we can pay for the wall between us and Mexico? So big talk about Mexico paying for it, huh! No one should be paying for there should be no wall as planned by the hate filled and xenophobic and lying Trump.
What is happening? It is scary, frightening and think of older people not understanding why and how their food stamps or their health needs or their home needs will be cut and they are expected to just die quietly!! Think of the kids who will have no CHIPS program, no lunch or breakfast, no afterschool and of course we must do away with that subversive Sesame Street and PBS. Oh the propaganda they push!!! And by the way, where are the women in this administration? An all male panel decides on women's health needs? What the hell is that??
What have we done? What have we allowed? Russia is in the Ukraine, our soldiers are going boots on the ground all over, civilians are dying en masse because Trump and his generals are pushing this crazy tempo of war and it is "let us conquer the city even if we have to destroy it!" Is there no better thinking than that? Yesterday I read what a curator said of the Ice Man, found in a glacier, who was murdered all those many years ago. He was murdered, killed, and we are still killing people, by many means, so perhaps, she said, we have not truly evolved very much, if at all.
Trump keeps pushing his dangerous and even treasonous behavior and refuses to allow an objective hearing on the Russian - Trump connection. Why? What is behind that behavior? Is it the fact that he has sold us down the river? I truly believe so and think his entire administration needs to be taken down, charged for treason and for crimes they committed prior to becoming appointees and let us clean house. No more emoluments. No more ethics violations. No more mixing business of the country with personal business and profit. No more smirks and weird faces and thinking he is putting one over on the rest of us.No more!! No more faces of Spicer telling his lies, telling a reporter to stop "shaking her head" as he tries to say that the whole issue is settled. It is most emphatically NOT.
In fact, why has the whole thing been called to a halt? What are the Republicans so worried about that they are trying to shut it down. The whole thing stinks and the thought that our whole administration is rife with traitors is mindblowing.
So what to do? Here a few suggestions.
Congressman Brian Mast is holding Satellite Office Hours at the Okeechobee Library on March 29th. A staffer will be there from 1:30-3:30pm to discuss federal agency issues with any of Congressman Mast’s constituents.
Town Hall on April 1 at the Clubhouse room C at 11. Go and ask the Congressman questions. Bring these questions to the ticket office and put them in a box for the emcee to gather. But ask away. Why is he supporting the repeal of our healthcare? What is he thinking of this wall and its financing? Where does he stand on the Russian connection. What about women's rights and LGBTQ? There are so many things he can be asked, so do so!
March on April 1. Come to the Clubhouse and march, after a light breakfast in the party room, with the Alzheimer's group and the Democratic Club and all people who care what is going on. There will be an open mic after the march. If we do not stand up and speak up, there will be no funds for medical research, for cures, for the arts, for anything - so be there. Then go to the Town Hall. Just down the hall. If you cannot do the march for health reasons, then go to the Town Hall for questions.
Action Alert!!

There are many things that can be done. What to do is not hard. Just do it. Channel the past if you have to. Picket and protest. Sing We Shall Overcome. Whatever - even go and buy a pair of Birkenstocks! I just did for other reasons but what the hey!! Get your beads and your grandchildren. Get your courage and your energy and let us have done with this mess. Have an answer for your grandchildren as to WHAT you did during this most unAmerican time. What? Get out there and speak up. Show we are unaccepting of this mess. show up for the Town Hall. Demand those answers.
Please remember to sign up when you drop in your questions.
I leave you with the words of Hillary Clinton at the Professional Businesswomen meeting in California. "Resist, insist, persist, enlist."
