Former Tea Party Republican in a swing state who will fight like hell to stop the GOP. Found out to my surprise policy wise I am much more of a progressive than a conservative. Apparently I had a hell of an epiphany.

Gardening is my passion. #RENegade

I want to primary my GOP congressman, no expectation of winning but I will try my damndeat and run some great ads and get out there in our communities explaining why they deserve better. How would I even start? Do I have to create a committe and have enough support before I can file papers?

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Don't wait for the next election cycle. You want to hurt this administration now? Get a general strike going on spending by the vast majority of the nation and we can bring them to their knees. Their power is based on our continued consumption of goods. Stop buying goods.

Road tripping down the Great River road. Stopped in at RiverTime Wine Beer Amusements in Pepin WI. Great atmosphere, friendly folks, and great share plates that hit the spot when you are hungry but don't want a full meal.

Let's see how American Christians react when they find out that Israeli settlers are attacking Christian churches in the holy land. I'm sure the MAGA ones will blame the churches of somehow making the settlers attack them.
