Leeja Miller - Why Are Americans So Obsessed With Communism?? (video)
ezs note: When I first ran across a blog that was critical of Ronald Reagan, I was hesitant. Not that they were wrong - they weren't. It's that most of them were just a wee priggish. Or a lot. Finally, I opened Leeja's blog - and wow! She's smart, funny and fresh. I decided to put up on Sundays Leeja's blog. If you look at the broad spectrum, she's a lawyer who advocates human rights - and more specifically LGBT+ rights. Please keep reading. I think you'll enjoy.

If you don't vote in every election, if you don't read, if you don't speak (eloquently), you might as well put masking tape across your mouth, no matter what you pretend you're doing.
