If you know my writing (and if you are out there reading this, I sure would appreciate a little “hello” in the comments to show me that someone looking at this isn’t a bot of some sort or another) you know that I’m long-term dissatisfied with the direction this country is headed, and have been for a while.
One of the things I’ve started exploring here is New England Secession. I think one of the possible solutions for the deep, deep well of corruption that seems to be fueling this country is to move the capitol, I think it may be the only option we have to return the people of these formerly-united States to some level of compassion, humanity, and fairness. I’m not saying it will get us there, but it will give us a chance at something better.
But that is a long term approach, and admittedly a pipe dream of mine. In the short term, in the VERY short term, what we have to do is eminently clear to me.
We need to vote as many of the corrupt bastards out as we can manage to get to today. If there is a candidate on your ballot who is not beholden to any monied interest, be they foreign or domestic, please make sure you put your mark by their name on the ballot today.
I will be voting for Ed Markey, Jim McGovern, and Maura Healey here in Franklin County. Both Markey and McGovern have taken AIPAC money in the past, but have long since sworn off. If you don’t know who you’re going to vote for yet (and you need to make that decision NOW) one place to get information you can use is TrackAIPAC.com. Look for other sources, too. Some of your local press outlets may be able to help.
Good luck to us today. We really need it.
