Phil Collins in his song: "Don't Get Me Started" says it well: "Everyday it's getting harder to judge fiction from fact. I'm tired of the truth being denied me, it's mine and I want it back."
I ask all that can, and are able, to join me in this commitment to Take Back America and fight this nascent fascism before it gets any stronger. Commit to do all you personally can to defeat each and every Republican running for office.
When the people lead, leaders follow; and when the people unite, they are never defeated. With people like you committing to take a stand, we will not lose; we cannot lose.
