Extending grace - not engaging in drama - vote blue no matter who . I don’t trash Democrats. Jeffries for Speaker - he’s awesome! I love word games and a good meal. Never skip dessert. Hiking, nature, and time with family and friends feed my soul.

15.06.2025 22:04 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0How do you know they don’t understand it? Like I said, every protest I’ve been to has had a focus on voting and passing legislation. Every single one.
15.06.2025 14:35 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0We know too many people stayed home or voted 3rd party. So what’s your suggestion? Don’t protest. Assume protests and voter registration efforts are useless? I don’t understand what you think should happen. The protests are efforts to create awareness and get non-voters and new voters engaged.
15.06.2025 13:35 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Why are we assuming that the voter registration efforts aren’t there? The images on social and on tv are of crowds, but they don’t show the actual activities. There is a lot happening at these events - at least at the Ohio events I’ve attended.
15.06.2025 13:16 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Every event I’ve attended has had voter registration, petitions to get legislation on the ballot, and opportunities to volunteer with local organizations.
15.06.2025 13:14 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0We have to allow for redemption. What if someone didn’t vote, regrets it, and is now trying to step up and do their part. I hate the idea of anyone not voting, but if there is an opportunity to get them to the polls in the next election and protesting helps get them there, that’s a good thing.
15.06.2025 13:10 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0But why are you assuming that the protests are made up of non-voters. Or maybe they are waking up and will vote next time because of the protest. It’s too late to vote in 2024, but the work at the protest is getting people out for upcoming elections. That’s all we can do.
15.06.2025 12:58 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I don’t agree at all. Harris got over 70 million votes. The protests are representing only about 11,000,000 people. Most attending are voters and active volunteers already. But what’s your alternative? What are you doing to move the needle? It’s not enough to say we voted, we have to be out there.
15.06.2025 12:56 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I’ve been to 4 protests. Every event has voter registration, petitions to get SB1 on the ballot in Ohio, and organizations where you can sign up to work at events on legislation and/or voter registration. People are signing up to volunteer and get involved. The protests are helping with that.
15.06.2025 12:54 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Yes. And these protests do have an impact. We can complain that people don’t vote or we can “contend” with it, and these protests are one way to do that. Not the “only” way, but “one” way. What do you suggest as an alternative to them?
15.06.2025 12:48 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0If we showed up the at the polls the way we show up at Marches, Harris would have only had about 11,000,000 votes. The voter registration and work on local legislation that is happening at these events in not seen in the images of crowds. But I’ve seen it happening at every event.
15.06.2025 12:39 — 👍 8 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0People can’t cast a vote every day. But these events create awareness and invite people to get active and encourage people to vote. We have a big issue we are trying to get on the ballot in Ohio and signatures get collected at these events. Education about the bill happens at these events.
15.06.2025 12:37 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0When we see these protests and marches on television or see images shared on social media, we see a big crowd and a lot of signs, but we don’t see all of the activities happening at them. So it’s easy to write them off as just a march or silly. But from what I’ve seen, they are Democracy in action.
15.06.2025 12:32 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Democracy can be both, can’t it? I’ve been to 4 of these protests and I’ve met a lot of people at them. Everyone I’ve met so far voted for Harris. Many also campaigned for her. Every protest has had voter registration tables and in Ohio, petitions to get SB1 on the ballot. Isn’t that Democracy?

I have announced my candidacy to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene and I know we will together. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together.

Which is boring.
Two of the best leaders and public servants we’ve ever had. I miss them.

The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.
He was awesome.

12.06.2025 23:34 — 👍 7 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 0This is in Ohio anyway. Not sure what is available to foster youth in other states. But I feel for the students who are in legal guardianships and still facing the world alone. Can you include those students in this legislation?
12.06.2025 19:09 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I wish you’d do more for the independent students who were never placed in foster care. They can’t access Bridges, ETV, and College Bound. Foster youth can access those grants and be fully funded at a 4 year school. Kids in legal guardianships have no access to those funds and can’t afford college.
