I've been listening to some Paul McCartney today. His works with the Beatles and since is amazing. A lot of great songs. Listening to this today, I was thinking ..... if everyone here works together and with others in our communities, we'll be as happy as this McCartney song come November.
But if we fail to, we risk being more in the mood of John's "Plastc Ono Band" LP, commonly known as Lennon's "primal scream album."
I could be wrong, as I sometimes am. Other times, I'm right. And I'm pretty sure this is one of them. I know that these are frequently stressful times for many, many people. And I think we could all agree that the direction that stress and anxiety is leading the republican party just isn't good. Or safe. So it's up to us, even though we may be dealing with tough things, to be busy between now and November. That doesn't mean a 24/7 concentration of effort, of course. But it does mean supporting those Democrats at every level running in campaigns this year. And putting in a good effort, no matter where you live, or what status you may hold.
Peace,
Patrick

I had to take a week off from the congressional campaigns I'm working on. Sick as a dog, as the old saying that doesn't make any sense goes! ER, follow-up tests, etc. But I'm getting my strength back!

(73,536 posts)That's such a great song! It has recently become my younger son's favorite, too.
Re-districting has changed some things in this region. But I'm in contact with top people in three congressional districts near me.

(73,536 posts)I wrote this before I learned of the escalating violence in the Ukraine. I hesitated to post it, because it is upbeat at a time when the news is absolutely gloomy. But I think we are seeing events unfolding that document the absolute need for Democratic Party victories in November -- not just for domestic purposes, but because of global instability as well.
