8. Overhelmed, that is how many Americans see the obstacles, I think. We have far too

many issues to address, the recent SCOTUS decisions present another set back.

The policies were established and now ingrained in our political system to enhance
the 1%. What can we point to any longer that does not have this upset?

I fear that without a movement to over turn CU, and then move to fight
for exclusive public funded elections, we will not achieve our goals.

Your data presents an American story and one that is not promising for the
near future.

Warren/Sanders, Sanders/Warren or anyone bold enough to make the
commitment..I am there. But I can't say enough that for me, much should
hinge on a focus to eliminate the money influence. I don't see how we can
separate them any longer.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, JD..have a Happy 4th, too.
