10.18.2025 My little town in Bucks County, PA represented today at our No Kings rally. I have never seen this many people for any rally ever in our small town. The crowd was peaceful but adamant that our democracy will endure. The Constitution is stronger than Trump.

2021. Oil on canvas, 48" x 48" ea. A death portrait. "Frank" on the right. "Without Frank" on the left. Frank could not get affordable health ins. Dead at 61. Biden's Amer Rescue Plan & subsequent IRA provisions would have helped Frank. Enhanced subsidies about to expire. More deaths to follow.
