What We Must Now Do

If the FBI is allowed conduct a proper investigation there is in all probability a case to be made against Brett Kavanaugh. This is from today’s (Oct. 5, 2018) New York Times: House Democrats will open an investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct and perjury against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh if they win control of the House in November, Representative Jerrold Nadler, the New York Democrat in line to be the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said on Friday.

So there we have it. If you are well and truly outraged, well and truly disgusted, and well and truly wanting to fight for a country you want your children, as well as yourself, to live in you will go to the polls this November and vote for every single Democrat you can from dog catcher to House Representative to Senator.

Now, more than ever, we cannot throw up our hands and slink away. We, the people have just been mugged in broad daylight by a corrupt Republican Party led by a criminal grifter, and like any champion we must get up off the canvass and fight back. And our best punch is the vote.

We must now marshall all our resources; our dollars, our word-of-mouth, our willingness to call and write our Representatives and our Senators, to talk with our families and friends, to knock on doors, to speak out when you hear someone extolling the virtue of the travesty we have all just witnessed where the threat of whatever truth there was to be found was shoved under the carpet to make way for expediency.

Let us now finally refuse to cave to the voices of moderation who will tell us we must be high minded in the face of this latest insult; the culmination of all these years of filthy Republican politics. By denying President Obama’s choice for the Supreme Court Merrick Garland even a hearing Mitch McConnell should have proved to us all that we cannot bring a knife to a gunfight. And our gun is our vote! We should all be angry. Very angry. There can now be no more votes wasted for third party candidates that only serve to reduce our chance to rid us of the vile Republican Party. Not until we have righted our ship. Then, and only then, can we afford to “play fair.” We must all vote as one voice. And that voice must drive the Republican Party out of power; in Washington, in our states, in our cities, in our towns, in our precincts.

WE MUST ALL OF US VOTE THIS NOVEMBER.

FOR DEMOCRATS!

ALL OF US!
