Why Republicans want to weaken Federal government...

God, this is so easy. It's because that's the only way they can retain power, based on their diminishing minority. With a weakened government, the angry, loud voices in the peanut gallery provide the propulsion they need to make up for the voting bodies they don't have.

It's easy to see how it works at a State level. Just yesterday it was reported that it took one M4L mom to ban a poem from a young black poet who is a prodigy and leader. One mom did that.

Simply put, we need to get organized. We need to have a united front. And while we're doing all that, be aware that this M4L types love to infiltrate your organizations on social media and find a way to undermine you.

God, this really is 1984, all over again.
