Please take a few minutes and watch it.
He said what needed to be said and he finished by telling us that the most important office in the United States isn't President or Governor, it is the office of Citizen.
We all must get out on the streets Saturday and peacefully stand up for Democracy and against tyranny.
Now is the time and No Kings Day needs to be the turning point.

(5,937 posts)True leaders show their true colors in times of crisis. It takes a lot of courage to stand up to the president, especially THIS president. So far, in my opinion, our strongest Democratic voices are coming from Governors Newsom and Pritzker. While there have been a few Democratic voices in Congress in opposition, they are merely whispers compared to the public exposure a Governor generates when things get rough.
Where are our leaders in Congress? Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer are missing in action.
