Is there any over arching United commission made up of various leading fighters for democracy to agree with a winning strategy and apportioning responsibility for specific objectives? Something like a WWII Coalition. TLP. You. JoJo from Jerz. Joyce Vance. Heather CR.. ACLU. The heaviest hitters who make a difference. Who’s coordinating the effort and determining assignments ?

Great to see and hear you on the Blue Missouri zoom meeting!

This old story of organizing and showing up to counter the anti American slavers of the South is enlightening and motivating for me. I think of them as brutal monarchists, and see the same thing in what has become of the Republican party of today, twisted irony.

I have a cause: use charitable deductions to save the SSA retirement Trust Fund.

The default of Trust Funds is supposed to apex in 2033 due to the increase of birth rates of baby boomers. After 2033, birth rates of later generations flatten and the funds can be solvent. Social Security is the greatest anti-poverty program in US history. Social Security protects workers, widow(er)s, orphans and disabled people and is a major investment for many of us. Donations can flatten the default curve, extending the apex.

Why doesn't SSA advertise that donations can flatten the curve and extend the default date beyond 2033?

How can we be involved in the DNC election? There's no clear explanation. Should I call my Democratic senators and representative, ask them to support Wikler? Is there anything else we can do?
