I guess you forgot why there was an overwhelming voter turnout to elect Democrats all down the line. What we wanted from you we are still waiting for! When is ANYTHING going to happen? Admittingly, you did well with the Covid shots! But why are we still working under the rule of 1806? I am talking about Filibuster. I don’t know about other people, but I was hoping we could walk into the 21st Century and go back to the majority rule. The Filibuster needs to go. And fire the Postmaster General and get someone that knows that we need the USPS!
You promised, if elected, you would do wonders! You promised great changes when you had a majority! So far, all you have done is cozy up to the Republicans and try to be nice, and compromise with their agenda! We did not elect you to be nice! When the Republicans were in charge, were they nice to you or us? I distinctly remember; they were not!
In case you are not aware of it, your constituents are hurting and need your help! Many are losing their homes because they cannot find work that pays enough to pay for childcare and decent housing. They are not lazy and are willing to work, but working three or four jobs a week to cover basic necessities is nothing short of slave labor.
It is time for you to stand up and be counted!
We want you to do the right thing! The tax burden sits square on the shoulders of the working person and is not shared at all by the wealthy conglomerates! We are not demanding that they pay more than their share, but just their fair share. They use the roads, are protected by the Police Force, and if their house catches on fire, the Fire Department will rush to help them. Shouldn’t they pay for some of it????
In other words, we do not want you to be nice; we want you to be effective!!!!!

Biography
Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die.
I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect?
Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing.
My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda.
Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated.
I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.”
I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class.
After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome.
I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.

The frustration at watching what is going on in Washington is mounting and that is how we got Trump with his “drain the swamp”. Good post.
great post! rightly argued! i have read about the contentious Tax issue in U.S.A .
It is time that Democrats do something! effective.

Until recently those cries for accountability, justice and the equal share of the burden, was been presumed to come only from developing countries who had suffered under the exploitive politics of those who had it all. Now the tide has finally risen that even we so called first worldlier are getting wet feet. How long will we stand there waiting before the water rises up to our throats?
I hate to be the one to reveal this to you, but the water is making us choke! Until we force the conglomerated to pay their fair share and use it to really do what we must in order to survive, we will sink to the bottom.
Wouldn’t that be nice. I get dozens of emails a day wanting me to donate to DNC! Ain’t happen baby! There are several things they need to do NOW and one is get rid of the filibuster! The second get rid of the Post Master General! And the third thing is STOP being nice, be effective!
Also another reason is; we always had those people that were racists among us, they just smiled and hid their sharp teeth behind prayers. If we do not wake up and smell the roses, we will have him in the white house again. And it will not be pretty, the 60s will look inviting, after he gets done.
