6. This is good to hear. This is the 1st one that really peaks my interest.

But rumor is that Beto is preparing to plunge in. I'm also interested in him.

3. Great and if elected.....

On day one he can declare climate change a "NATIONAL EMERGENCY".

On day one of year two he can declare gun violence a "NATIONAL EMERGENCY".

On day one of year three he can declare the lack of national healthcare system a "NATIONAL EMERGENCY".

On day one of year four he can declare his candidacy for a second term so he can declare voter suppression a "NATIONAL EMERGENCY".

And if reelected he can.......

5. This is interesting to me. A Governor, and key issue climate change.

I'm interested. He's not nationally known, so don't know about that. But I'm interested in finding out more.

My primary issues are climate change and the environment. But I also care about health care, the economy (jobs), decency, and other things.
