are worthless without ACTION. Next time the Democrats gain the majority, assuming we have free and fair elections in the future, I expect them to pass campaign finance reform that shifts the costs to public funding and reduces the time frame for election campaigns and primaries. The John Lewis Voting Rights Act MUST be passed reducing the intentional Republican created barriers to voting. I expect tax reform that lifts the cap on SS, expands Medicare to MFA. And, I want the current leadership out. We need Winston Churchill types, willing to take the fight to the Republicans, not Quislings and Neville Chamberlains bending the knee and bow and scaping. We need more AOC's, Crocketts, Murphy's and Van Hollens. And, no more Mr. and Ms. Nice Guys and Gals. Call the Republican Party what it is, a fascist cult filled with hate, racism and ignorance. Put that in one of your 'strongly worded letters' Schumer. Step aside and let real leadership take the reins.
