We can not fight alone.
I really don't know what to do. I really don't understand it. The party won't fight. The media won't report. And America won't wake the hell up. This morning, a real estate broker was sending emails to someone in the print media, broadcast media, and a congressional aide. Why is that? I've never had to do this before. But now I do it all the time. Why? Because somebody in this country is not doing their job, that's why. Sorry for the rant.

2. I don't know mmonk.
I just don't know what else to do. I call, I email, I snailmail, I protest. The only thing left is to take back the party from the inside and that takes a lot of time I am not sure we have.

3. I'm scared I've waited too long for my family.
I thought I would fight, stay active, use my connections, continue being a part time activist (which started to become full time). I should have been leaving. I have two sons and I don't want them to spend the rest of their lives in this darkness. I waited too long foolishly thinking I could make a difference.

4. Most Americans are aware and unhappy
but they don't know where to turn either. And sadly, our Dem leaders aren't showing leadership to them either.

Our cities, infrastructure and economy are growing worse every day. But no one knows how to change it, I don't either.
