Also, I'm a progressive. For instance, there's this from Inauguration Day (1/21/17):
Republican lawmakers are so afraid of women and poor people that they are bending over backwards to defeat us. But we will not be defeated. Not now and not ever. This is our America and it is already great. We will fight to keep it headed in the right direction. Now and forever.
And also this from the same day:
It is my darling dear husband's birthday and I am in a celebratory mood!
Today I am watching the Women's March from home.
I could not go to the march but the truth is, this is not a fight that ends or begins today. I am excited and inspired by the huge turnout, and I'm ready to do my part.
In the past few months, I have donated to or joined or renewed my membership to social justice organizations because I know individuals like me cannot do this alone:
American Civil Liberties Union
Human Rights Council
Planned Parenthood
NARAL Pro-Choice America
National Organization for Women
NAACP
I subscribed to publications that speak the truth because knowledge is power:
Ms. Magazine
NC Policy Watch
New York Times
Vanity Fair
I also signed up for the #LoveArmy and looked up my Federal, State, County, and City representatives and look forward to holding them accountable.
US Senate:
Richard Burr
Thom Tillis
US House:
GK Butterfield
NC Senate:
Floyd McKissick
NC Representative:
Henry Michaux
I plan on keeping up with their voting records. I will tell them how I feel and what I want them to do, and thank them when they do it and hold them accountable when they don't.
To them now I say:
We are watching you!! You can not hide from us and most importantly YOU WORK FOR US, so you better listen up and act accordingly.
So yeah, I'm progressive and you can also look at my Blogger Profile. :-)
