• Note

This blog is taking a short vacation, and will return in early August 2025. In the meantime, I would like to share part of a letter I recently wrote to my Congressional representatives about my belief in this country and its government.

I,

·       Support fighters (e.g., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Corey Booker, Gov. Gavin Newsom, or Gov. J.B. Pritzker) who do not hold back in attacking MAGA extremists.

·       Prefer fresher voices expressing righteous anger rather than old fogies acting as if opposition is futile.

·       Favor politicians who pledge dramatic change, not more of the same.

·       Understand that corrupt billionaires are ripping society off (e.g., taking away healthcare to fund enormous tax cuts).

·       Reward plain-spoken messengers regardless of ideology (e.g., Zohran Mamdani or Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky).

·       Favor a secure social safety net.

·       Reject the notion that securing the border and deporting dangerous criminals necessitates a police state that disappears their hardworking neighbors.

·       Recoil against power grabs, lawlessness, corruption, cruelty, and corrupt oligarchs, even though abstract appeals to “democracy” leave them cold.

·       Reject a unitary executive, an imperial presidency, a monarch, and dictator, and fervently believe in the tripartite coequal branches of government.

  See you soon, Bob.
