Reality Check

It should be a stark reminder that women (in which there are some still alive today that lived in a time when they could not vote), people of color (Jim crow laws, past and present) and LGBTQ citizens (marriage equality) have only, all to recently, fought very hard to win the right to be treated as equals (with very mixed success) in our "Land of the free and the home of the brave".

While we are a great country and we have come very far, we still have a ways to go in a country that bills itself a the leader of the free world.

Take nothing for granted and realize Trump and his followers would destroy all these very precious gains.

GOTV and always Stronger Together!

they would be all too pleased to set us back a few centuries. And I am not exaggerating. As a gay man, I will be anxious til I hear on election night that HRC has won.

GOTV!!!
