Earlier today I posted a video about the shameless Congressional redistricting plan going on in Texas. I said I’d be back with my interview with Beto O’Rourke, so here it is! He’s filled with great information and I’m glad to share it.
No one need feel helpless in the face of Trump’s onslaught, because there’s a lot we can do. But We the People need to do it. Beto’s organization POWERED BY PEOPLE is doing exactly what needs to be done to help protect the midterms in Texas and elsewhere.
It doesn’t matter what state you live in or who you are: if they’re transgressing against liberty anywhere, they’re transgressing against you.
This isn’t a moment to take our feet off the gas…not even for a moment. We’re moved from “threat” to our democracy to full on on-going attack on our democracy. Generations not even born yet will register whether or not we show up for this moment of truth.
Wake up. Rise up. And remember what my father used to say: “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”
