The Ballot and Democracy Under Attack

The following was written by a friend, critical thinker, and clear communicator. I think John Antonetti's words are important for us to hear right now. Someone recently said that whatever we're doing right now is what we'll one day tell our kids we were doing when democracy was being destroyed. It's time to speak up!... Continue Reading →
