They try to hit you with so much
and or false information that you tune out.
I think that they are relying on Americans just saying, I can't handle this for my mental health and turning it off because that then lets them and their cronies engage in the type of action and corruption that we're seeing right now.
They want us to feel powerless and we are not.
And that's why these midterms are so important.
If we control the House as Democrats and hopefully even the Senate, there's that opportunity to really push back, to say no more of this.
Because sadly, our Republican congressmen and women, they no longer follow that oath of office.
They are not standing up for the Constitution.
They are not doing their job.
And that's not just them violating their duty as an American, as somebody who took that oath, but a lot of them put their hand on a Bible when they did it.

Let's have term limits, not just on Congress, but on the Supreme Court.
Let's overturn Citizens United and get dark money out of our campaigns.
With everything they've torn down, we are going to have to build up in a different, bold, but effective way that can get the United States back on track.
paying all those bills, tariffs, gas prices.
