FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY. MARK HERRING.



David --

Five years ago today the U.S. Supreme Court gave same-sex couples in Virginia the right to marry and made marriage equality the law of our Commonwealth. 

I’ll never forget that day -- in fact, when I look back at my career, helping to bring marriage equality to Virginia is one of the things I’m most proud of. 

Everyone should be able to enjoy the blessings of marriage -- and today as we reflect back on that wonderful day five years ago, I hope we can take stock of all of the hard work it took to get there.

So many courageous people and organizations made marriage equality possible -- it wasn’t easy, but in the end, love and equality prevailed. 

It’s not often in politics that we get to celebrate a fundamental change that brings so much joy to so many. Today, five years later, it's incredible to see how much progress we’ve made since that day -- but there’s still more to be done. 

As Democrats, we must continue to fight against discrimination in all of its forms and commit ourselves to ensuring every Virginian, and every American, is given equal protection under the law. 

In closing, I’d like to remind my fellow Virginians that no matter who you choose to marry, where you came from, what you look like, or how you choose to express yourself, this Commonwealth welcomes you. You belong here. 

Thanks for reading this note -- have a great rest of your Sunday.

MAKE THE WORLD SAFER: STOP TRUMP AND HIS MINIONS.

Celebrity, Donald Trump, Gop, Famous


How should Democrats, Progressives, and Liberals Combat the Donald Trump/Republican Fascist Agenda of creating a Police State ruled by a few, Destroying and Eliminating such CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AS;

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

...and turning the average American into a SERF, WHOSE LIFE AND WELL-BEING IS LEFT TO THE WHIMS OF THE NEW "ARISTOCRACY." 

#1-  Acknowledge that the Selfish, Self-Centered, and Dishonest also Vote, so Quit trying to Win over everyone through Fear of Confrontation.

#2-  Stop Allowing Trump and the Republicans to Hijack the Moral High Ground, when its Media
Campaign is Transparent, and Easily Refuted.   

#3- Stand Up to the Outright Lies and Misrepresentations that are part of the Daily Drivel that spews forth from Donald Trumps mouth, which is usually little more than Irrational and Hate Filled Propaganda.

#4- Never allow Statistics and Numbers to go unchallenged. The Bogus returns from the  2016 Election were a perfect example of what happens when you blindly accept results without proper examination.

When Statistics are Trotted Out about possible Fraudulent Activities in Social Programs, Demand the Sources for such Claims, and what Procedures were used to draw specific conclusions.

Along these lines, make sure the following Key Points of the Republican Agenda are Studied and Examined thoroughly.

-  Corporate Bailouts. 

-  Tax Breaks that do not, or are not required
to Benefit the Taxpayer.

-  Funds Acquired Through Government Contracts,
that are Shifted to Foreign Markets with no Positive
Effects on the U.S. Economy.

-  Refusing to Raise Wages to a Minimal Level, which
Encourages Self- Sufficiency, and Decreases the 
Need for Government Aid.

... Other Policies that Push an Agenda that
Benefits a Narrow Set of American Citizens.

A SECOND TERM FOR TRUMP?



 CNN POLLING UPDATE:
Six in 10 Americans believe Trump does NOT deserve a second term

DAVID, we haven't heard from you:
Does Donald Trump deserve a second term?
DAVID: From the first MINUTE of his presidency, Trump has spewed racism, cozied up to dictators and fired anyone who disagrees with him. Now the House has opened an impeachment inquiry against him! Despite all this, Trump still thinks he should get to keep damaging our country for FOUR MORE YEARS.
The American people know better: CNN just released a poll saying six in 10 Americans believe Trump does NOT deserve a second term – but we haven't heard from you. 
If this can be confirmed, it would be HUGE for Democrats, so we’re conducting our own Trump Approval poll. But we’re still 41 responses short in 02771 to reach statistical significance, and the poll closes at 11:59 p.m. tonight. Tell us now:
Does Donald Trump deserve a second term?
