Our democracy is hanging by a thread

The GOP is getting away with unlawfully purging voters from voting, gerrymandering is creating a permanent Republican majority in the House, the Supreme Court is right and on the verge of going hard right, the Koch Brothers own so many politicians that they set the agenda for Congress, and it's obvious that the GOP will never impeach Benedict Donald no matter what crimes he commits.The situation is beyond bleak!

My last hope is the Mueller Investigation. If Robert Mueller fails to bring down the Donald Trump and the GOP crime family, it's all over folks. I hope and pray that Robert Mueller grasps what is at stake.

Your best hope is to work your ass off in your own state to register voters and get them to the polling place. I have no idea what state is yours, but there's plenty of work to be done. Every Democrat elected to a seat in Congress who replaces a Republican is precious. Look to see what is possible and work toward that goal.

Do not wait for Mueller. Get started now to actually do something. If everyone did that, we'd win going away. If people don't do that, we'll lose again and again, as we seem to to all too often.
