The overwhelming force we have in this representative democracy is our vote - it needs to be exercised fully if we are to remain in the fight after the mid-terms. It is a marathon and does not end in Nov...

This is a serious warning that the American freedoms too many of us have been taking for granted really can be lost. We will, in the end, get the government we deserve. The good news is that sovereign power remains with us: America's citizens. All we have to do is: speak out peacefully and vigorously. Call out the (daily) lies. And vote the rascals out, especially the Republican rascals in Congress who have been complicit in this Republican-led assault on our freedoms. This can be done.

A warning appropriate to the moment and clearly stated. The attack on the democratic process has been planned for a long time, and its foundation--the big lie--has metastasized to support its destruction of our confidence in the democracy's workings. Either its opponents confront it directly or watch its effects unfold to their detriment. Bill's view that it's not a moment too soon is dead on the mark.
