VOTE TODAY
Another hundred people just got off of the train
And came up through the ground,
While another hundred people just got off of the boat
And are looking around
At another hundred people who got off of the plane
And are looking to vote . . . ---- a nod to Stephen Sondheim’s “Company”

Year of the Woman?
When Bella Abzug was elected to Congress in 1971 she was one of 13 women (less than 2.98%) of a total of 435 individuals serving in the House. Two women out of 100 were in the Senate. In 2018, there are 84 women (19.3%) in the House and 23 women (23%) in the Senate.
Bella Abzug was a leading liberal activist and politician in the 1960s and 1970s, especially known for her work for women’s rights. In the 1960s, Bella Abzug became involved the anti-nuclear and peace movements and helped organize the Women Strike for Peace in 1961. To promote women’s issues and to lobby for reform, she helped establish the National Women’s Political Caucus with Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem, and to have a greater impact on the political process, she served in the House of Representatives from 1971 to 1977.

The people who sought to lead this country in the

The people who sought to lead this country in the last 30 years have all been flawed. They accomplished some good things and they sometimes blundered badly. The Bushes (#41 and #43), the Clintons (Bill and Hillary), Dukakis, Dole, Gore, Kerry, McCain, Romney and Obama – these were by no means perfect individuals. However, they were all curious people with a sense of history and decorum who understood the presidency and our form of government. Each brought different strengths and weaknesses to the job, but all seemed to have the basic skills to play the various roles a president has to play. To varying degrees of success, each was able to be compassionate and aware of the needs of others. Donald Trump is not capable of performing the role of President of the U.S. He cares little for history or tradition. He plays a very short game and seems incapable of recognizing that there might be truth in the world. He quite simply is not fit to lead. If not checked on November 6th, he will continue to erode the very structure of our democracy. VOTE NOV 6th.

Politics and governing need not be a partisan game

Politics and governing need not be a partisan game. At the height of the Great Depression, Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt and Republican Mayor of NYC Fiorella LaGuardia forged a partnership that worked to benefit all people regardless of political party. Who among us wants to gamble with the future of our planet by refusing to acknowledge that the climate is changing? Who among us wants to see mass shootings continue in churches, theatres and schools just because some selfishly want to protect their access to military style weapons? Who among us would not want to see this nation’s roads, bridges and rail modernized? Who among us wants to deny a decent education to any child, regardless of race, creed or income? We need to vote on November 6th!

“Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of

“Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.” - Robert F. Kennedy 1966
This is a time when politicians must have courage to speak truth to power but few around Donald Trump seem willing to do so. Members of the Republican Party who are currently running for political office seem unwilling to put country ahead of party. Once the decision to withdraw from public life is made, their voices seem to return. Check Donald Trump and VOTE NOVEMBER 6th

The responsibility of a free press is to hold gove

The responsibility of a free press is to hold government leaders accountable for their actions or inactions, to publicize those issues that need attention, to educate our citizens so they can reach informed decisions, and to connect our people with each other in civility and respect.
We need a free press. Trump is plain wrong when he declares the press the “enemy of the people”. However, supporting the idea of a strong, independent free press should not suggest that the press is beyond criticism. There is often a rush to report a story before all the facts are known. Too much news is both “Breaking” and repetitive at the same time. Frivolous stories of pop culture claim as much time as stories of substance and importance. A well-meaning press corps often chases the shiny object proffered by Trump rather than provide a reasoned, cohesive narrative of the truly important.
A free press is never perfect but it is essential. To check the vicious attacks on a free press, please VOTE on Tuesday, November 6th.

Today is Halloween and we are scared but not in th

Today is Halloween and we are scared but not in the usual way. It’s not the fake fear we pretend to feel from masked vampires, ghosts and goblins roaming the streets seeking treats from knowing neighbors. It’s not the Boo Radley flash of fear generated by contact with the mysterious and unknown. Today, we live in fear of the hatred and loathing that 45% of the country has for the rest of us. We fear the deterioration of respect for all our democratic institutions. We are anxious knowing that we are being led by a man with no sense of history or compassion; a man who seems incapable of expressing empathy for others. Donald Trump is an incurious man who stokes fear to keep his party in power. We must check that fear by Voting on Tuesday, November 6th.
