If we keep the House and take the Senate

and the White House, let us not squander the majority. Let us get things set in place that will protect our country when patriots don't have the majority. Do not try to work with the remnants of the traitor party until after 2022, if then.

Fix gerrymandering now, prevent it ever happening again.

Stop voter suppression, stop it from ever happening again.

Fix computer security at all levels. Stopping hacking and election cheating from ever happening again.

Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.

Tax every church that allows its pulpit to advocate for a political party.

Prosecute impeached traitor, his spawn, his henchmen and enablers to the fullest extent of the law. And if found guilty, encourage maximum sentences and maximum fines. Make sure lawyers and barr are stripped of their professional standing so they can never tatter the Constitution again. Make sure the traitors and sellouts know if they try this again, they will pay dearly.

Add justices to the Supreme Court and federal courts. Impeach the incompetents that impeached traitor installed. Fix the appointment system so that political favorites and hacks are never again allowed to be considered for a judicial appointment.

No pardons. No 'healing'. The people who got us here need to know that like children using their last chance, there are consequences. Think of trying to treat your dog the way you did before he got rabies. You can't. You wouldn't. American politicians have given the people who got us here many chances to do the right thing for this country and its people and they have squandered the chance every single time and done worse.

If we can repair the damage, and stop up the loop holes, then we have a chance of fixing the social fabric of our country. We will be fighting with one hand tied behind our back because of Covid-19. But let government put forth health mandates and turn the problem of researching a cure over to the scientists.

GOTV and God bless our effort.

Getting rid of the filibuster makes all of the above possible if we retake the Senate.

It looks like we're going to win in large part due to support from independents. We need to do what most of America wants, live up to the Unity ticket we've been running on, and stay in power for more than an election cycle.

will no longer deliver via the anti-trump wave of whole counties and states.

We need a solid, broad appeal program, that the 2018 and 2020 flippers can run on - and win!
