Haven’t written much lately because I haven’t had any thoughts I wanted to flesh out. I’ve been in a mode of taking in some info and doing some leather working. So, for info – just paying attention to what’s going on as we get nearly a month away from the climax of the presidential election that includes Kamala Harris, and some old guy. I gave a bit of a take recently (what is recent in how fast big new things happen) but after sitting on it for longer, I’m optimistic enough for this go-round, especially if the justice department gains momentum in dismantling the Russian/GOP/General Wealth interference in elections.

Hey everyone, let’s dive into something that could make a big change: Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). You might wonder, “Why is this so important?” Well, some powerful people are even trying to stop it before it starts.

Hey there! I’m starting this blog because I believe in a better future for all Americans — one not solely shaped by folks who may not fully understand our daily struggles or are more influenced by big companies than by us, the people (thanks, Citizens United, and everything that lead up to that).
