11. My god we have to find a way to stop this!

At the very least we could scream about them until they grow sick of it (would they?) or we break apart beating our heads on the wall (something I am very good at) for fucking ever if needs be. We all need a person, at least, or persons in our own state governments to who would take on these issues with us, again at the very least.

We put together a coalition in Kansas to fight the Right who were going after the LGBTQ community. We started out full barreled. We ended up with some good law and a much better attitude in our state. As soon as those of us who did all that and we needed to rest it fell apart. Put together something and start working on it even if it is late and make as much noise as possible. DO it in 25 different ways and never stop. Toe to toe face them down. Remember to take the rests. You need to because if you have not done this it is brutal and I mean that. We have lost a lot of ground because those of us who started it were emotionally gone after the 10 or so years we spent building it. This is a whole different ball game but it is the same reason for fighting, it almost always is.

I have been down for a while, getting too old to do what I did before but I would do anything I could to help all this along. We HAVE NO CHOICE now and our legislators should be hearing that every waking minute.

This is our job but it is also theirs and if they are not interested we must make them do it. Let them see your name on their call list 5 or 10 times a day. Get your friends and go to their offices or at least call. That can sometimes be fun because they will tell you without saying it more than you can get out yourself. I haunted The RedNeck Rapper for some time. He would start "rapping" in his office the moment I walked in. It was just awful. BUT you have to do it. He did not change I seem to remember he did not say as much after so you never know but it was done.

EVERY DAY. Get a group and make a plan. You can fight it from anywhere.
