This is how your Republic will be stolen from you.

I was going to mention something about my Second Amendment Rights remaining unabridged, but then someone somewhere would likely tag me as being a radical leftist rabble rouser wanting to start mob rule somewhere.
I am 72 in two weeks and nearing my time here ending and I am truly sorry I won't be able to do anything about the Nation, the World going to the right wing dogs.
Of course, you could simply put your guns away and contribute to your candidate either with money or time or both and FUCKING VOTE!

Beto O'Rourke in Texas out raised Ted Cruz with $38.1 million, a difference of three times - I hope that in 3+ weeks he spends that money wisely and beats that POS Ted Cruz by a margin Cruz won't challenge.

If I had my druthers, I would wish the Congress and President would overturn the finding in County of Santa Clara v Southern Pacific Railroad Company , 118 U.S. 394 (1886) in which a clerk in the SCOTUS incorrectly added language to the opinion giving corporations the same First Amendment Right to Free Speech as actual persons. This language, uncorrected was the basis for the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 decision giving the right to spend money as a first amendment right to corporations.
A Congress with sufficient courage and a POTUS not beholding to someone's check book could define a person for the purpose of the Constitution as someone actually living with flesh and blood and not simply with a board of directors.
_______________________________________________
If I had my druthers, I would wish the Congress and President sign into legislation a consistent model for who can vote, and to also require the various states to set up a commission of citizens at large who would determine the Congressional Districts that would send a Representative to Congress. (We did this in California without any argument!)

"Disobedience in the eyes of any one who has read history is man's original virtue. "—Oscar Wilde.
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the Government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it is all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag.

Where I live (Iowa), early voting has already started, and so, "Vote, but Vote now!"
