14. Because we didn't take action sooner and to the degree necessary

we have a madman in the office, a 34 count Felon. I'm sorry Congressman Clyburn, but the days of civility and decorum are currently non existent. Hopefully sooner rather than later, politics as you've known will return.
But not now and not for years to come. It's a political civil war in which the opposition has all of the weapons. We citizens are using what we can to fight back, patience, the courts and yes, redistricting. Might I remind you that we didn't want redistricting but it's an equal and just response to counter the Republican strategy.

Strength and fortitude will be needed in the next Congress. I hope we can count on you as we have in the past.
