The worst people in the world have taken control of our country. The good citizens of America are trying desperately to take it back, and we will, one way or another.
And when we do, we are going to INSIST that this country move decisively in a better direction. No more business as usual. After what we’ve been through, and put the world through, it will be time for serious reform in every way.
