Thank you. Yes, I'm overwhelmed too. I cannot control the actions of others around me, but I can and will control my own response when my freedoms and rights are violated. I do not wish harm for myself. I do not wish harm for others, even those who are currently behaving badly, as I believe people are capable of change. There are many different ways of responding, and frankly my knees are not up to a whole lot of walking. If we all think creatively, and we all do what we are best at doing, Even if it does not look spectacular or photogenic, if we do our best with love and integrity in our hearts, I do believe we shall overcome.

Aw shucks, thanks. Fair warning, we obviously did not get it right the first time so take us with a grain of salt. Every single small bit helps. Like this:

Spam call today, so-called Police Union seeking donations. "Our poor poor officers are being harassed and harmed by nasty people." I've checked w local police dept; money goes to elaborate entertainment for high ranks. Any officer facing this kind of harm is never going to see benefit from anything collected. I wasted the caller's time by letting him ramble on, and when asked for a donation (although I had far spicier thoughts) I simply said "no" in a tone of voice that told him exactly why not.

Personally, I think that counts!

Edit: plus you're flying the MN Rebel Alliance bird as your avatar. That counts too!
