We can't wait for change, we as the people, need to demand change. This morning I was thinking about the massive peace demonstrations/rallies that took place in Washington, DC in the 1960s and 1970s, the activism of the Students for a Democratic Society, the chants of "The people, united, will never be defeated". We need that activism now. Too much of our democracy has been stolen or. sacrificed. We cannot wait and hope for the best

We need to return to those days of fierce, peaceful activism; the sooner the better.
