    Don’t let it overwhelm you. There’s only so much we can do. I posted a story last week of a 3 year old girl that died with her father, in his arm. Just surreal. Vote. Write your Congressman. Love your family and friends. That’s all we can do.

      That’s what I’ve been telling my friends and myself but hard to keep perspective when my congressman went to Israel to “show support for Israel’s defense” and not a single thought or word to these dead kids.

      Thanks for the kind words though.

      Voting is great and all, but we literally have the choice between the guy helping fund these atrocities, and the guy trying to destroy democracy.

      Just vote third party? That’s just a throw away vote for one party. THIS is the problem with a two-party system.

      Unfortunately, there are too many major hurdles to go over (two party system, electoral college, gerrymandering, lobbying, just to name a few) before we even have a chance at something resembling justice, here or abroad.

        At least you’re asking the correct questions. Let us know if you find the correct answers. Because I don’t have any. Organize, communicate, stay informed?
