The Town Hall meeting in Moriarty was attended by 150 rationals. When the speaker, U.S.Rep. Melanie Stansbury, entered, 95% of the audience stood up, applauded powerfully and roared with respect/praise as if a hero returned from a victorious battle for law and order over chaos and disrespect for law.
The battle is not over, however, as she stated. She avoided confrontation with a few hecklers by saying it’s okay to voice your opinion, just be respectful. She proceeded to only state laws and facts without insults to perpetrators of the chaos in our government. (She did mention speaker Mike Johnson)
Rep. Stansbury smiles and speaks softly, but has the determination of a marathon runner. I am more impatient than she. I still am aghast at how Americans in power allowed this to happen before and now. She is so polite, she even apologized for taking a sip of water. Take care young lady so you can continue your battle with us-thank you for your service.
Scandinavian nations are always at the top of the list for favorable places to live. Why? They practice Compassionate Capitalism. Make money, but not at the expense of its people. And it’s honored, not reluctantly doled out. Robin Hood (fictional) in reverse, now practiced, is an outrage- rob from the poorer to pay for the richer.
As she stated, we need about 12 Republicans to side with Democrats to out vote any detrimental laws or policies to re-balance our one sided leadership in both Houses of Congress. And the U. S. Constitution states that a President is protected from indictment or ousting from executing his/her duties and not holding any high office again.
But what should happen when any person rebels or neglects to even follow the job duties? They are fired! Interesting! The current leader is not helping to “provide for the general welfare” of its people from the words in our Constitution. He is removing welfare from mostly those who can’t afford such loss.
Wait until you or your family or friends lose or have trouble with health insurance, are deported for racial/ethnic identity while not being a criminal, have problems with departments of Veterans Affair, Social Security, IRS… So, peacefully rally, boycott… The old ways of a ruling elite (Kings, queens, etc.) did not care about the general population are mostly gone today-unless you want to return to them. Independent thinker who voted Republican once before, but not now.
