I still consider him to be my Congressman.

I don’t live in his district anymore and I’m now the “proud” employer of a freakin’ Blue Dog Dem, Kurt Schrader. A guy who cofounded the Problem Caucus, and has openly declared that if his CON friends don’t go for some bill, he would see said bill as a nonstarter. He actually said that at a town hall that I attended with some Indivisible pals a few months ago.

The caucus is actually called the Problem Solvers Caucus. But to me it’s definitely a problem. Particularly if it means you’re always giving in to the bad guys.

The only effective remedy for us is voter turnout.

Simply by the numbers.

There are more of us than there are of them. If only we’d use that!

Our numbers are bigger than theirs! Unfortunately our ability to wilt is bigger than theirs, too.

As my husband just said when I read this to him:

“Thank you to our military!”

God Bless You, Hillary! You're right AGAIN.

You’re the rightful President.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
