The status quo has no intention of interrupting itself. For that to happen, the people must step in. Here is my talk at yesterday’s Progressive Iowa Cornfeed ...youtube.com/watch?v=Mw04r6…

They diminish me only as a strategy to get me out of the game. Many of them take me seriously in private; otherwise they wouldn't be copying so much of what I'm saying. They're waiting to see if everyone else takes me seriously enough to donate enough to make my campaign viable.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." - MLKJr. A meaningful thing all of us can do today is ask ourselves, "What can I do today to add to the cry of national outrage at the inhumane way that immigrants are being treated?" Silence=complicity.

Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to 8 million undocumented immigrants. Do you want to do mass deportation raids for 11 million people? In the absence of a criminal record, all should be given a path to citizenship.

Seeking asylum is not a crime; it is a statutory right. Kidnapping, however, IS a crime. And so is child abuse.

Thank you, Congressman! You’re absolutely right...
Rep. Connolly during House Oversight and Reform Cmte. hearing: "You can talk all you want about whether the poor Border [Patrol] is overwhelmed that makes no excuse for how we are treating children...Is there no limit to what you will justify in this administration?"
