On back porch thinking about those children I'm ranting

Taken from their families. I know we’re all angry ,it just really effects me as a father. I’ve called my congress and senate repugs. Toomey has no spine ,And lou barrletta a trump sycophant congress shit. Has come out in support of taking children. I feel helpless in that I cannot do anything to help the kids. I identify as a.
Father
Husband
Union guy
A veteran

Today I’m stopping around barrlettas local office to be heard in person. This has to stop screw your wall. We do not hold innocent children hostage not on my watch. You facist fuckers gonna hear from me everyday.

And getting people registered to vote and voting is one thing we can do now to vote every one of the republicans out of office in Nov. . I've stopped buying as much as I can, and when I do try to get only known places that don't support trump and republicans. I switched to all alternative power for my power company plan, use a fraction of gasoline that I use to use. I also try to keep some people updated and aware of what actually is going on, and some are surprised when they learn more, and many are getting angry too. Lawsuits will stop this present child abuse being intentionally done to these children by trump with republicans supporting him, and I suspect the more radical and abusive he becomes , and takes them , the more are switching away from him this Nov. .

I'm beginning to look at the whole picture again, because it is very easy to get distracted by the shiny objects tossed out there every day. If you look at all the manufactured chaos by the tRump administration, and then look at the embolden putin, kim, et al, I have come to the conclusion that we are being worn down and demoralized by the actions of tRump and his cronies, both state side and throughout the world. Their goal is world domination and WE MUST STOP THEM - NOW! I am on the phone with my congress people, both in DC and St. Paul on a regular basis and will not stop. I donate what money I can to reelection campaigns and the ACLU and others whenever I can. I encourage everyone to do the same.

Thanks for doing what you can from where you are. I am appalled by so much about this outrage. But it is very important to stay calm and clear-headed as we battle these Neo-Fascists and criminals in the WH.

I wrote Portman last week and I'm going to write him again today. We have to keep making ourselves heard!

Father's Day is a really shitty day for me already, very depressing. Add to it this atrocity and I was deep, deep and deeper in it.

Today is a new day and I am determined to rise up and use my grief to give every damn member of Congress an earful.

I got my marching orders. Moving out!

I wish some Veterans organizations would get together to occupy Representative offices around the country until this policy is stopped and the children who have been ripped away from parents are reunited.
