Today I REALLY need "the courage to change the things I can."

Before the end of the business day I WILL phone and talk to, or leave messages for, Ben Lujan's staff, Martin Heinrich's staff, and Tom Udall's staff.

And I WILL send a $25 donation to the ACLU THIS afternoon.

I cannot change the way things are now, today.

The things that make me tremble with rage and horror, the things that make me weep with sorrow.

But I can reject despair.

I can change myself, just a little.

I can be the kind of person who says politely but firmly to the people I should hold to account for my vote, "You must take action."

I can be the kind of person who prioritizes resource to help others with more knowledge and skills fight this fight.

More courage, please.

I have always been a coward. But I am capable of change.

hopefully,
Bright
