I spent many sleepless nights but I did not back down. I got the townspeople behind me, got the largest crowd to ever attend a council meeting.
Did the same thing as a union rep. Went against my boss who wanted to violate the contract, I got plenty of shitty jobs for 5 or 6 months but I did not back down.
Fuck the idea of being nice to people who want to kill me and my family. I live among Magats and I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow and I need eggs. I always buy organic eggs and I am going to ask every Magat I see if the store hasn't gotten around to changing the Biden price of eggs yet?
I am going to hound every Magat in my town when TSF shits all over us little people.
How about if Congressional Democrats call a meeting. Buy a white board, elect people who are fighters to run the meeting and brainstorm a fucking mission statement so that I can follow along. Don't come out of the meeting until everyone agrees to the plan forward.
This appointing foxes to guard the hen house and making excuses why you voted that way doesn't cut it with me.
I fought people with power who wanted to strip coal and frack for gas on our town's pristine watershed, and erect a coal cleaning plant in a flood plain. I was told back then that it was pointless to fight them because Dick Cheney passed federal laws that take precedence. They were wrong, when enough people join together for a common cause they can effect change. We got the fish commission involved to testify at a hearing, we had the local newspapers putting articles every day in the paper.
One thing I can guarantee, people who don't fight are going to lose. I am 77 and I will fight them with my last breath. Fuck Marco Rubio he is no different than the rest of the nominees.
