My Why

As a parent, I feel fortunate that my daughter felt safe sharing her same-sex relationship with me. This personal experience has deepened my understanding and commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. It breaks my heart that the world we are in now may not be safe for her. My fight is for her. It’s personal.   Sadly, the LGBTQ+ community continues to face discrimination, marginalization, and denial of rights, especially in my home state of Texas. The state has passed or attempted to pass discriminatory legislation, such as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, and enacted policies targeting transgender individuals, including preventing access to hormone therapy.   Supporting LGBTQ+ rights is about ensuring all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, are treated with dignity and afforded the same fundamental freedoms.

We are an abused nation

There is a lot on my mind lately. I have veered from abject despair to a painful yearning hope all within the space of a few minutes. This is not a recent occurrence but perhaps has been ongoing for the past 5 years but this phenomenon has been more pronounced over these past 6 months.   This is because all of us are being abused. We are being mentally abused by a person who didn’t qualify to sit in the highest office of the United States. Yet he rules (not leads) in his classic authoritarian manner with no regard for human life. Here are classic signs of an abuser. - Extreme jealousy.  You think he is not jealous of the achievements of President  Obama ? - Possessiveness which leads to adverse control - Unpredictability which confuses the  abused - A bad temper with verbal abuse . We all know what happens to the few members of the GOP that dare raise their concerns about him.  They suffer his abuse.  This is what happened to Flake  and Sanford...

Thank you, Joe

Four years ago, we were in despair. A deadly virus had made its way through the country and we were held hostage by a tyrant who wanted people to inject bleach and recommended hydroxychloroquine as a remedy. We lost a million Americans to this virus. Thank you, Joe.  You showed what service to the country looks like. You set an example by running and winning. You didn’t need to. You could have retired to a happy life on the beach as Vice President. You ran, for us.  To show the world what a good, competent leader looks like. You brought dignity back to the office of the President. Not only did you launch a successful vaccination program, you had the American Rescue Plan enacted which stimulated the economy. You put money in the pocket of my children. This money helped my daughter pay her rent and put her back on her feet. Thank you, Joe. You made it easy for my child to sign up for the ACA plan by making it more affordable. The price for her medication was so high she had cons...
