I appreciate the intention. Yes I have written letters. I have voiced my opinion when politicians come to my church.

My solution is that this party needs to go into black spaces. Create policies that will counteract the damage the Trump Administration has done to BW and families economically.

I am only giving voice to the people who dont post on DU who vote Dem but feel voiceless. I just want the Dem party to fight for ALL and not just some. Especially when BW have been dedicated for this party.
