We the People...

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." The Declaration of Independence

Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.

Say it out loud.

Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.

Listen to yourself as you say it out loud.

Now read this:

The PEOPLE of the United States of America are being silenced by the elected government. Republicans in Congress are not holding up their oaths of office, they are not defending the Constitution. Donald Trump, the President of the United States violates his oath of office DAILY!

#WeThePeople have to come together in an organized fashion and demand to be heard!

Last night, AG Schneiderman resigned amid allegations of violence and sexual assault. The President of the United States paid off a porn star to be quiet, he said he can grab women by the genitals and they let him because he's a star, he has 12+ women that have come forward accusing him of assault, he was being sued by a woman that claimed he raped her when she was thirteen years old! At what point do the truths of these women become valid???

Look at the public history of Donald Trump. Listen to what he has said about women. "Women, you have to treat them like shit." Where are the demands that he resign for these horrible allegations?

Then we have his blatant disregard to our democracy. He is exactly what our founding fathers were afraid of. He is a despot. He is dangerous. You might like his message right now because it doesn't directly impact you, but I assure you, it will impact you. Do you live in a red state? Do you think that he cares about you? Look at his tweets. He cares about one thing, himself.

His hatred for Obama overshadows his oath of office. Whether he is beholden to Putin or not, his decision (if he so decides) to pull out of the Iran deal only accomplishes one thing: Iran is allowed to make nuclear weapons again. It's either Trump's own personal hatred of Obama driving this or Putin is driving it, because the decision to pull out benefits Russia.

Is it just a coincidence that Trump's undoing of all Obama's accomplishments seem to help Russia? I don't know, Mueller is on that. But I am here, blogging, because I am angry and I am fed up with the 1% in Congress making rules that help themselves but damn the rest of us.

I have a proposal:

Each state should be allowed to add 1 Senator, increasing the Senate by 51. Their existing pay should be cut down to the area median income. They should only be allowed to serve for two terms. Representatives should also only be allowed to serve for two terms

Our population has become too large and the number of representatives is no longer efficient. The two party system has damned us all, just as Hamilton forecast. A third Senator per state gives the opportunity for a third voice. Cutting their pay gets rid of the entitled rich people that hang on to office for forty years and become obsolete and out of touch because they are so separated from their constituents.

My main argument is that we the people are stronger than the elected government but the elected government isn't listening to us. We have marched, and marched and still this despot sits in the Oval Office destroying our democracy because he is filled with vitriol and vengeance. I cannot sit idly by and allow it to happen.

What have I done? I write. I write to my representatives. The problem is, I live in Massachusetts and my representatives agree with me. We need people to reach out to representatives that go the other way.

Please, vote. Register to vote. Get your friends, family, everyone you know to vote.

In the meantime, speak out. Speak loud. Trump will never resign, he's stubborn and vengeful and determined to destroy the man that embarrassed him at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2011.

Let Mueller do his job, but in the meantime, demand that Donald Trump be held accountable for his wrongs. He shouldn't get to serve in the highest office of the land with the accusations against him. Demand that he be removed from office.

The Monday Post Vacation...

...has got to be one of the worst damn days EVER!!! Now that that is out of my system I have to say, there is something beautiful about being in the White Mountains with no service on my cell. No reason to check Twitter, no exposure to the rantings of a lunatic. It's nice. It's pleasant. Now I'm back to the connected world and I don't know that I like it all that much. I looked up actions and quotes from guilty people and it's so strange to see that Trump's behaviors and tweets match to a T. He's so guilty that he's trying everything to stay to afloat and it's just scary. I see my kids do it. I ask my son, "Did you draw on the wall with sharpie?" He goes, "No, it was my sister." I ask him, "Are you sure you didn't draw on the wall?" He says, "No, I said it was my sister!" Then he throws the Sharpie and proceeds to have a tantrum...he's three. Trump is doing all the same things, and more, that

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

As many of you may know I am a huge fan of Audible.com. I listen to books during my commute and because of Audible I have exposed myself to books that I would have had a hard time sitting down and reading, not only because of the lack of time I have, but because of the nature of the content. I tend to like fiction over non-fiction. My latest listen is a book called Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind . It's fascinating. A few chapters back the author spoke on gender differences and various theories about why patriarchal societies throughout history far outweigh matriarchal societies. Biologists and anthropologists can't seem to come to any type of logical conclusion for this. The author floated one out that I'm going to editorialize on. He said that women are "more cooperative" than men and have seemed to not really care about conquering new lands or being motivated by wanting power. Men, on the other hand, wanted power, they wanted to fight, they wanted

Frustration

I know I'm not the only person feeling frustrated. I know that I'm not the minority when I fight against injustice and wrongness. I know that I have allies and because I know that, I keep on going and try to stay positive. So what causes most of my frustration? This guy: Ever since Donald Trump stumbled onto the scene, he's been a problem. He has one motivator, money. He also happens to be a racist and a misogynist. He also happens to be a serial liar and a serial cheater. Donald Trump is still living in the days when it was totally acceptable to: Use racial epithets in public Smack his secretary on the ass for a job well done Whistle at females under his employ Routinely telling females in his employ that they are "beautiful" Deny renting to minorities Assume all minorities are criminals Assume that a person has to look a certain way to be of a certain heritage Promote white men to the highest levels of authority Build a thicker glass ceil
