On the power of Twitter:

For those speaking up, I am thankful every day for your comments, insights and inspirations. I try to read and acknowledge as many as I can.

I need you all to develop your voice. Learn the political issues. Read other’s comments. Join in.

We all need to speak truth to power. I appreciate this is difficult for many, however Twitter is an excellent platform to hone those skills. Don’t be a bystander. Engage with others. Challenge those that spread false propaganda. Take a chance and speak up. We need every voice. 😊

We are at a horrifying juncture. Kavanaugh will likely be confirmed. Leaving us with an imbalanced Supreme Court that will not represent the majority. The Kochs and Mercers will move swiftly to take control of women’s bodies and strip away individual rights via the courts.

The Kochs and Mercers also want a Convention of States. To rewrite the Constitution. To strip you of your civil liberties. And they practice.

So, this is literally an ‘all hands on deck’ crisis. But we can win. The first step is speaking up. ☺️

If you know nothing about Mercer/Kochs and the danger of a Convention of States, start here:

‘Sean Hannity on a Convention of States: "I'm a big supporter"’

Hannity: ‘If you're serious about saving the nation, this is the best way to do it’

No, it’s not.

And when I said the Mercers/Kochs team are practicing for a Constitutional Convention, it wasn’t glib.

In 2016, 137 legislators, from 50 states, met for three days to practice in Williamsburg.
