My Most Frequently Visited Memes (As Of August, 2017)

Great Letter Joe. Vicki makes a good point. In light of the decline of the daily newspaper, we have to try to assess what is the value of a LTTE.  
I think of things I've done in the past; many hard work, but worth the effort: Soap Box Forum (public speaking, street theatre in crowded spaces, etc.); Counter Recruitment in middle and high schools and at places where kids gather and handout a well-done Counter-Recruitment flyer (sporting events, nightclubs, concert venues and more); Listening Projects (on the street or door-to-door); Creative Nonviolent direct action; "Bird-Dogging legislators and other oppressors; More 3rd party activism; Public Fasting for Peace .... to name a few. Perhaps there are more suggestions. Sitting at my computer is much easier activism ... but?

Any of Us could start one or more of these campaigns. Peace and Hope, Patrick

I also submitted an LTE to the McClatchy papers earlier this month, Joe, but never even got an acknowledgement, so I'm rethinking where I put my energies these days. Now I find myself wondering if Legislative lobbying, coupled with direct action, might not bring better -- and quicker -- results. 
Your thoughts?

“I like Trump because he says it like it is,” many of his supporters have told me over the years. 

Three years ago Trump said that the Democratic party’s efforts to make it easier for Americans to vote by having mail-in ballots, making sure there were drop boxes in all parts of town, approving same-day registration and extending early voting days were “..crazy,” and that “if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.” 

It wasn’t a novel GOP idea. “I don’t want everybody to vote,” Paul Weyrich, an influential conservative activist, said in 1980. “As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”  (The Guardian, March 30, 2020).

Looking at what GOP legislatures are currently doing, in NC as well as other legislatures around the country, we have to agree that Trump “says it like it is.” But having said that, what is happening also spells the end of a government “of the people, by the people and for the people.”
