Stop Being Sheep

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I've been a political observer for 40 years. My politics have shifted during that time, and what I've discovered is that, for the most part; people have become apathetic. Many are just grounded by inertia. Problems in the US have overwhelmed them, and they feel helpless. Or...

 They simply sit out their constitutional right to make the changes necessary to return our laws to some semblance of sanity. I am going to attempt to show you just how dangerous your apathy is. You have the ability to change our nation's course, and you just don't want to be bothered. 

 That makes you a big part of the problems we face.

This will be a primer of sorts, attempting to explain what is happening in our country and how you have the power to change or stop this onslaught on your rights. Most importantly, how these midterm elections in 2022 are probably the most important in our lifetime.

 2022 has been a horrendous year. Voting rights have been gutted, The right to own weapons of war has become more significant than the lives of our children. Approximately half of the US has made women the property of current state legislators, and the current supreme court has become nothing more than a hammer, allowing theocratic lawmakers to undo decades of common sense laws.

Our current political situation finds, while democrats have a majority in the House and Senate, because of the thin margin; the republicans are in a position to block bills that would stop the horrendous direction this country is heading. The democrats need, at minimum, two more senators to implement the changes necessary to make things right again. Not to mention a huge, uphill battle to retain power in the House of Representatives.

And that only happens if you get off your asses and vote to make it happen.

These will be relatively short, to the point articles. They are designed to state, in layman terms, the how and why we find ourselves in this situation. And most importantly, what YOU can do about it.

Yours wryly.....
