Support the Ladies

Support all the women (and others) who were insulted and defiled by Trump on the campaign trail. Whether he was:

  • implying all Muslims are terrorists; or 
  • saying all Mexicans are rapist; or 
  • going after a Gold Star family; or 
  • boasting about having the power to grab a woman's pussy without her consent (a/k/a assault),
  • etc. 
... Trump has debased public discourse like no other POTUS candidate in history.

He also suggested that women should pay a penalty for abortion, saying they should be punished for a medical procedure that is NOT against the law.

Ladies and minorities that are targets of Trump's vile and disgusting remarks need the support of those of us who are not in his cross-hairs (yet).

Resist Temptation to Lump all Immigrants into the same Basket

If you didn't sneak into America, you're welcome here no matter your race, ethnicity, or religion. Unfortunately, too many Americans seem unable to distinguish legitimate different-looking citizens from those who violated our laws to get here. That's how you can end up -- for example -- with a Kentucky woman berating a Latino about welfare even though she had no idea about that woman's background, life or how she arrived in America. Most who look different, come from different cultures or worship differently are NOT illegal. Don't lump them together with those who arrive here illegally.
