Kids are a treasure. Don't get me started on grandkids.

If you feel that the two-party system doesn't represent you very well, that's probably because it doesn't represent you very well.
We're building a party and a movement to give voice and representation to the voiceless and unrepresented.

We urge Texas lawmakers to reject this partisan redistricting plan and instead adopt an independent, nonpartisan approach to drawing congressional districts. Voters should pick their leaders—leaders should not be allowed to rig the system to keep power.

This is not a Republican or Democratic issue—it’s a democracy issue. Fair maps lead to fair elections, stronger representation, and a healthier Texas democracy.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.
Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

I lived in a notorious dictatorship (Myanmar/Burma). I saw 1st hand how to literally destroy a perfectly good country so that a small minority get wealth & power. EVERYTHING is ruined and people live in extreme fear. Ethnic cleansing is a reality. Americans better wake up.
