WE GOT THE POWER!!!

  Yes we do, though it may not seem like that right now. Laws are being passed by Republican legislatures to infringe deeply upon the right and the ability to vote. That ability is the crux of the matter as difficulties, obstacles, are placed in the path of voters, aimed specifically at Democratic areas, at people who need these extra hours so they do not lose work time.

These same legislatures are defying the wish of the majority in so many areas, particularly abortion rights. It is more than it seems, for at stake is the question whether women are to be respected, as equal, capable, as worthy to rule themselves, to control their own bodies and health decisions. These Neanderthal legislatures are related to the Taliban in views, as they too would seek to lock women up, unable to sign a contract, get a mortgage, do anything without a man okaying it. Chattel, no better than slaves. Yes, that was here in America. It could happen again - especially in this atmosphere of bitterness and polarization.

Sonia Sotomayor warned Americans that this will be a tough time for them, but we, the people, had both the responsibility and the ability, the power to change things, to repair the damage to the laws and the spirit of America by the Republicans disloyal to America, to the point and beyond of rebelling in an open, violent attempt at a coup, even as Trump told them to "fight like hell". 

But we are not out of the dangerous eddies produced by their constant agitation. There are plans to continue to overthrow the government, reject any victorious candidate unless he/she is a card carrying member of their filthy cult, their fascistic philosophy, their contempt for the people. Their overpowering lust for power motivates them and their greed, overrides any and all obstacles in their path  to attain all they want.

We, the people - sound familiar? - need to demand that the Senate and the House do what must be done. Subpoena all, demand they talk, hand them jail sentences if they refuse. Impress upon them the mighty power of the people, of the true soul of this country. Vote them out office right down to city councils. Remember that we, too, can "fight like hell" but we will be on the right side of this matter.

We the people. Say it again. Feel the power.   

WE.  THE.  PEOPLE.
