Three alarming trends.

1. I am reading about bills being introduced across the country to put down peaceful protest. Absolutely unAmerican.

2. My Republican congressman reportedly complained about the swell of calls, emails, etc. from constituents overwhelming his staff.

3. In a recent call to his office to state a position which he undoubtedly did not share, his staff questioned whether I understood the issue I was commenting on! I let him have it after that!

We must be vigilant to save our representative democtacy!
