I’m on SSDI and Medicare+Medicaid (Thank You President Obama!) and will die if these Republicans get what they want. I and thousands of other people. Not to mention minorities, women, and LGBTQ will all suffer greatly.

Everyone GOTV 2018!

Thank you for your voice on this matter. I voted absentee 2 days ago and with a straight Democratic ballot. I hope others are doing the same.

call around and see if someone needs a ride. Try to get 2 or 3 more votes out of yours. That might take away some of the despair.

Women trussed. Basted. Roasted. Thinly Sliced. Dismembered. Digested. Disrespected.

We have Lady Liberty as well. Every once in awhile women play leading roles.

We are more balanced and even keeled. We have fought our entire lives for every advancement. We are The Mothers. The Teachers. We Birthed this Nation.

LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. The women will show you the way.

Qualities and virtues were given human form as gods and goddesses and that got carried over into 18th century America. )A bare breast on a female figure might indicate maternal nurturance, not sex, for instance.)

You can see this in the original Classical Greek architecture of Washington, DC. The men who designed our nation's Capitol had soaring overarching unity of design.

More can be discovered online. George Washington was a Mason, and Masonic imagery is also all over the place. It's a fascinating study.

That's what I was really asking.

I do remember John Ashcroft, former AG, covering up a statue behind him at a presser because of a bare breast.
