Saturday, October 18th 2025 at the No Kings Demonstration in Elizabethtown, KY.

I spoke about the original "No Kings Day" in July of 1776. I reminded the crowd of Jefferson's Four Principles of Democracy and how we must vote protect our democratic government.

My highlight at the "No King's Day" demonstration in Elizabethtown, KY was when this wonderful American stepped up and asked the crowd to join her in song.

God Bless America. Stand Beside Her. And Guide Her. Through the Night, with the Light, from Above.

Never have we needed those words more.

There is something we can do to help end the shutdown. Call our Congressmen. Especially the Republican ones!

I attended the Educational Forum Town Hall put on by the Grayson County Chapter of Kentucky Citizens for Democracy tonight. The purpose was to better understand the relationship between ICE, the Grayson County Detention Center and other county jails in Kentucky. This was powerful.

Yes, the election is more than a year away, but the time to start running to win is NOW. I am running as a proud Democrat, but my core issues are all non-partisan. I will support any and all legislation which is in line with these core issues.

I urge my neighbors and friends in Kentucky's 2nd District to call our Congressman, Brett Guthrie, tomorrow, as I will, and urge him to vote FOR this discharge petition.

Last year we stopped the Republican led Kentucky legislature from hoodwinking the public and diverting public education funds to private schools.

Now we need to push them to fully fund our public schools! Join me!

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.

While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️

A friend is so engaged in protests that he is making signs in before the protests are even planned! He is clearly unhappy about Mr. Trump's self proposed birthday celebration, a clear abuse of taxpayer dollars and abuse of our military!
