I have an announcement. .

[marym625]

I'm not leaving the group! I'm going to post about the presidential primary here and in GD-P whenever I feel like it. I'm not going to take the bait from people who are just detractors of truth and enjoy trying to upset people. I am not going to have a meltdown if someone here is mean to me.

I am going to support Senator Bernie Sanders in his bid for the nomination for the presidency. When he wins the nomination, I will continue that support for him in the general election. I am not just going to spread truth about Senator Sanders and his lifelong, continuous, consistent work for what is good, right and true, I will also expose the truth about the other contenders that are not fighting for the average American, for the end of the corporatocracy we have become.

I will fight the inequities in pay between C class and the workers that create those profits, between men and women, between people of color and white people. I will speak out against the too big to fail banks and the corporate thieves taking pensions and pay.

I will fight for LGBT, women, minorities. I will champion for human rights, which includes; the end to torture in our prisons, abolishment of the death penalty, stopping incarceration of so many, for so long, because of the color of their skin. I will push for laws that will help end the outright murder of black men and women and the mentally ill by law enforcement officers; for laws to end the impunity these law enforcement officers enjoy because of prosecutors that are cowards or use the current law as a weapon against justice. I will fight for the end of endless war and drone murders of innocent people, including children, by our country under the guise of peace.

I will bitch, moan and complain about the illegal spying on US citizens by our government. I will stand against the sharing of the information gained by this illegal spying with corporations for profit. I will support Occupy and stand with the whistle blowers wrongly incarcerated or sent into exile.

I will do this by spreading facts here and elsewhere, by protesting, by writing and meeting with elected officials, by donating to election campaigns and groups when I can and by voting.

And fuck anyone that doesn't like it.
