Totally agree! And, it's always easy to pray for those who challenge us and ourselves. Time to speak up, have meaningful discussions.

I was thinking I could set the pol situation into the course of miracles. I think my role would jump out at me.

Exactly, it does not transfer compassion into the environment. Lollipop bubbles of love that do nothing. They merely fend off reality.

For years religious sectors ran government. Spiritualists need to run government now. Compassion-based laws must replace ego-based laws.

I am responsible for the health and compassion of my community, my nation and the world. Really sorry you did not get into congress
