It's not like I don't have a few ConLaw and other legal education... it's just that I can only do so much and I do that. I can only hope enough citizens will take up their responsibilities to do what is needed to preserve our Constitution.

I suspect that we aren't hearing about many programs and projects designed to help us protect our elections like the organizations that Pres. Obama and Stacy Abrams have initiated. There are more but we also have to participate.

I like to watch Nancy Pelosi when things get heated, she has a way of presentation that lacks the scare tactic-like attitude. She's dead serious, just not trying to freak everybody out. Freaking out takes up a lot of energy. It is good to try and channel it into something more productive and helpful.
