ezs note
This is not about conservatives.
This is not about liberals.
This is not about Republicans.
This is not about Democrats.
This is not about minor parties, or none at all.
However, it is about children, the disabled, the poor.
And it is about that virus, Donald Trump.

Call your Representative.
Call your Senators.
And if you haven't registered yet, do so now.
