Almost one third of eligible voters in the US do not vote. Most of the are Democrats. We can, in effect, redistrict the entire country by turning them out. It is difficult, but it can be done and it is not expensive.

Peace is attainable. Wars aren't started over workers wanting higher wages. Wars are started so huge corporations & very wealthy people make more money. There's much more of us than there is them. When we rise up together in solidarity we can & will move mountains.

That's a lot of talk for the guy who tore up our Eastern plains here in Colorado for fracking. You think we'd forget how you sued cities that had bans on fracking? We haven't & we won't. You have to be voted out. In 2025 nobody has time for the guy who said "you can drink fracking water."
