It looks as if the Republic will live to fight another day. The work I did, along with hundreds of others, to gotv and dislodge an entrenched congressman worked. We did it. A good guy will now take that seat. Huge relief and joy. And the House can now put a dead halt on ACA attacks, plundering ss and Medicare to fund the deficit, further tax cuts. All gone. My family can breathe again.
We didn't get everything we wanted, but we will now have proper congressional committees, actually working not endlessly talking about Hillary. All in all, despite Senate losses, enough success to keep us going.
Great public questions and amendments, too, and governorships, at least as important as what goes on in Congress.
So, good day. First one since November 2016. The picture is the Dollivers dressed in suffragette colors in honor of Hillary, and the hope of her election. I finally have the heart to post it.
Agreed! It wasn't perfect but I'll take it. My state as usual is still moving backwards, sadly--but our Capitol city has a new, energetic female mayor so that's encouraging.
ReplyDeleteYes, take the encouragement where you can find it! The midterms are still not over. Senate, governor, still not decided. And as counting goes on, more Dem victories showing up. Close to 40 more House seats now gone Dem.
