PHONE HOME

     I think that one and all will never forget the plaintive voice of ET wanting to phone home. Alone in an alien world, surrounded by strange critters, he just wanted to go home. And thru it all, he and his supporters were chased by the bad guys of the government who seemed to have lost their, ironically, humanity.

      Today we are all ET. We are all trying to phone home, to find our home in the midst of what one person has called "the sunken place", a place of bad things, of denials of rights, of bias and hatred, of little or no hope. Thankfully, I believe that many and more every day are beginning to phone home, using different communication systems, but are indeed phoning home.

     Notice they are not phoning it in, an expression for laziness and non caring; they are instead phoning home, trying to locate the best route to getting there and refusing to give up. Yes, we the people are beginning to shout, to make themselves heard, to increase the static on those who oppose them, on those who approve the creeping autocracy of Trump and followers.

     So when an idiot writes that he is concerned about Larry Nassar who has had a tough day, well, Aly Raisman's mother gave it to him but good. Read Aly's victim impact speech and be proud of our younger generation and their strength in the face of adversity. Review the weekend events, those marches that have taken place and the events scheduled for today. Get a look at the numbers of women running for office. Just look at the growing activism of women, their insistence on being heard and no vulgar mouthed ET chasing government dolt is going to stop them. Hundreds of thousands in NY. Marches overseas. Marches in small towns and large cities. We the people - YES!!!
     So yes, we are phoning home and we are going to make sure that the aliens among us, the ones with orange hair and their backers, the ones who see green as the color of it all, the ones who could care less about doing their job of serving the people  - that all of these people get their dues!!
     Those who are confused and are phoning it in, well, they had better wake up. Since when does a party that controls all three branches of government whine when they cannot get their 'right' to destroy our country? When does Congress forget that executive and legislative are two separate branches and one does not worry what the President will do or sign. Just vote and give it to him - sign or not and let the blame rest where it will. Since when are people so afraid of a mentally deficient person , so much so, that they cower before him and his ever changing statements, conflicts and all.
     So choose - phone home or phone it in. Big difference and strangely enough it was an 'alien" who taught us that. Wonder what all the 'alien' Americans that Trump is so much in a hurry to throw away might teach us today. How might they help our country - their country.
     So phone home, people, phone home. Phone your reps and tell them to man or woman up. Tell them to vote for the people and not their pockets or from their fear. Phone your Democratic Party offices and help. Phone your Republican Party offices and ask what the hell happened to the party of Lincoln?
     WE the People are beginning to make ourselves heard. WE the People are phoning home. WE THE PEOPLE.
    PHONE HOME!!!!
