Lobby Democrats in Congress to write a joint House/Senate "Letter to America"

4. Yes!

Perhaps many are too young to remember how the Christian Nationalist, White Supremist, Homophobic, Transphobic, Misogynist wing of the Republican Party kicked off their takeover with the Contract on America (I won't call it by its actual name).

Documents can be powerful things, and as I replied to another post, the horrors unfolding are so egregious they actually present an opportunity to put the plain truth before the American people, concisely and simply, and reclaim TRUE patriotism and reassert the values and founding principles that have helped steer every decent thing we have accomplished as a nation and enabled the forging of a western alliance committed to promoting and defending the four freedoms. It's about time we get loud and proud about the fact that it was the Democratic Party that has been the force driving us in the right direction, toward a more perfect union. Should we, could we have accomplished more? Certainly, but for too long too many of us have focused solely on failures and too few have been out there taking pride in our successes.

That must end, and I firmly believe that a Congress unified behind a clear statement of values and declaration of the crimes against those values could spark a virtuous cycle of hope and action that will sweep the insane monster the Republican Party has morphed into into the dustbin of history.

It took them 30 years from the Contract on America to create that Frankenstein's monster. It may take that long to defeat the insanity, but frankly, I don't think so. They have an unbelievable noise machine, but we can get noisy too. And Reality and Truth have power.
