7. Nice letter, pals

Tue Apr 7, 2026, 03:00 PM

Yesterday

This is NOT bashing DEMS , I still vote, donate , volunteer, wrote letters and canvas.
I strongly support DEMS.
BUT they play by the old rules.

Take over the House Chamber and don’t leave !!!
If you’re afraid of being arrested, resign.

Appealing to republicans is a fool’s errand . They’re afraid of the Mobster and Madman in the White House.

That’s what was done during the Vietnam as students occupied buildings and demanded common sense and honesty.

We need strong, compassionate and BRAVE DEMS.
