After reading and researching for
days, I know I can’t be silent. It’s when we’re silent that democracy dies. It’s
when we’re silent that Congress, namely the House, sneaks in pesky riders can
defeat even the best bills.
That’s exactly what happened to
Obamacare. They made it so bad and then gave it the president’s name that
signed it so you’d all blame him. The reality of the situation is that while
the President signed the bill, he’s not the one who has ruined it. Corporations
and an uncaring House, full of Republicans, ruined it.
Moving on as this wasn’t really
what I intended to talk about here, there will be many more things as time
moves on and I plan to take them as they come. I will talk about the plan Trump laid out for his first 100 Days, item by item, and you can decide if it’s going
to be as good for you as you hope.
For me, I will do one deed daily
to move forward a more progressive agenda. I will talk about everything I can
to help people make more informed and better decisions about what is going on
in your world. While I can’t watch every State, if I do see something I feels
is particularly detrimental for you, I will point it out.
See, it will be up to each of us to
be motivated and moving toward that America we all want. The Republican party
won’t do it and while the Democrats had much better plans, I was going to be
watching to make sure they too were doing more for we the people.
