Spotlight On The Resistance – FRIDAY 12/28/18
I resist because I was able to receive a good education in a public school, and I want all other kids to be able to say the same.
I resist because I was able to get a full scholarship to college, so I could graduate without a crushing debt; I believe all kids are entitled to face the future without dread.
I resist because I received Social Security benefits through my father, which meant there was a little money for things we might have had to do without, and I want all families to have that freedom.
I resist because I love my country, and do not want parasitic Republicans to turn it into a 3rd world nation.
I resist because I reject misogyny, bigotry, hatred and xenophobia, and want to fulfill America’s promise to everyone, not just the ruling class.
I resist because climate change will kill human life on earth if we don’t address it decisively and quickly.
I resist because economic inequities are greater in this nation than they have ever been, and there absolutely must be redistribution of wealth.
I resist because we were given clean air and water, beautiful vistas and amazing places, and want to leave it better for our descendents.
I resist because I am angry that Russia and Saudi Arabia dared to damage our self-rule, and there must be retribution.
I resist because out-of-control gun violence is killing innocents, and the GOP, bought and paid for, will not stop it, so we must.
I resist because women require absolute control over their own bodies, without which they are chattel.
I resist because people are more important than corporations and banks.
I resist because the implicit promises in the Constitution require every American to have access to affordable health care, to meaningful jobs, and to human dignity.
I resist because I support veterans, the disabled and the LGBTQ community, and will not permit them to be ignored and marginalized.
I resist because all the ills of our society are subject to redress, if we have the will to fight.
We must fight, or perish.
We must unite, or surrender.
We must prevail.
So I resist.
