43. The GOP is proposing to eliminate all those programs and those on it. Follow the logic.

The GOP is the consistent voice of the ultra wealthy. Their goal is the elimination of all but the 1% and their trusted servants. None of this should be a surprise.

They and others see the year 2030 as when they will accomplish this, and they will, without well organized opposition. It is indeed organizing right now, as for many involved trying to save public interests and programs are seeing a backlash against the GOP.

We're at a tipping point. Time is still not on our side. But we have nearly two years to vote those in office nationally who will support our goals. At least this is what people I met with this weekend are gleaning from the many reports with real life Democrats who are resisting on every level.

It just never makes the news. We've had some very heartening victories lately and are not going to give in. The work is from meeting to meeting, district to district, county to state, through the federal level. We follow the bills through legislatures and know exactly what is going on, who is for us and who is against. We nurse along the ones that support our vision, which is New Deal, and we adapt to make it even more inclusive than before.

We resist, following each to see that the bad ones are lost. If we lose, we start again and keep track of our friends and enemies and are on the look out for allies, but we know who they are. In all things, we know that majority and seniority rule in legislatures and we work to keep those with our vision supported.

Too many lives are at stake for us to stay home, and I bow to those able to do more than I can now.
