I am a Small-R Republican

Our lives begin to end the moment we become silent about things that matter! - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

At 71, I won't be quiet while my country is stolen from We the People.

I am enraged by the following:

In a narrow 5-4 vote. McConnell's Coup has worked again. A decision was made today by the tainted Supreme Court.

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were both appointed by a moral defective who took our presidency not because of the will of the people but through an election tainted by a sophisticated manipulation of the electorate in certain states by a murderous tyrant in collusion with, at least, members of the current president's campaign to allow the loser of the people's vote to steal the majority of the anti-republican electoral vote. Whew.

In addition Gorsuch's nomination would not have been possible without the despicable racist Republican senate blocking Constitutional advice and consent for the judge nominated by a president elected by a majority of the electorate. Those Republicans stole my 2012 vote.

I am a small-r republican. I love the Constitution and recognize that the 1st, 5th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th and other amendments would not have existed had the founders not hammered out the compromises that allowed the Constitution to become our basic law. Even the embarrassing and just plain disgusting Three-Fifths compromise had to be. But, hallelujah, the founders envisioned a Constitution that would be always in the process of being made "more perfect".

It is past time to do some perfecting.

It is time to rid ourselves of the failed Electoral College. It has never worked anything close to how it was intended to work.

With fifty states that range in size from tiny Wyoming to huge California the Senate is so wildly anti-republican that it is grossly unfair to folks in big states like Georgia. Cobb Dekalb, Gwinnett, and Fulton Counties in Georgia EACH have more people than Wyoming for Heaven's sake! Our state Georgia has 18 times the people of Wyoming. Still that half-million folks in Wyoming have equal representation in the senate with the 10 million Georgians. I am sorry, but that does not jive with the Declaration, in my opinion. It is time to rethink the Senate.

The notion that a corporation should be considered a "person" is offensive and evil. It is time to overturn the Citizens United outrage.

Gerrymandering must be ended once and for all. It is time to standardize how redistricting is done to make it fair for all.

It is time to institute ranked choice voting in all primary and general elections.

It is time to make it clear that the 2nd amendment is not intended to create a bloodbath.

It is time for the people to take back our rights. 
It is time for truly republican government in America.
