The Only Thing That Weakens

I Caution Anyone Who In Their Protest Becomes The Very Thing That They're Protesting Against. Meaning Turning To Hateful Speech, Violating Principles And Ideals That Are Sacred In America. We Need To Raise Our Voices, But We Do Not Need To Indulge In Hate.

If You Understand The Black Lives Matter Movement, There's No Central Leadership Of The Movement. This Is An Organic, Grassroots Movement All Around America.

No Matter What, We Always Have The Power To Choose Hope Over Despair, Engagement Over Apathy, Kindness Over Indifference, Enthusiasm Over Lethargy, Love Over Hate. This Is Our True Freedom. Whatever Life May Throw At Us, We Have The Freedom And Ability To Choose Our Attitude. And I Believe It Is In Those Moments Of Choice That We Manifest Our Destiny.

We Started America With The Sin Of Slavery That Led Right Into The Post-reconstruction Period Which Was The Greatest Period Of Domestic Terrorism In Our Country's History. Then After That, We Had Jim Crow Emerge And Just When The Jim Crow Laws Were Ending Came The Onslaught Of The Drug War. Well, The Drug War Has So Perniciously Effected, Insidiously Infected Communities Of Color That In Some Ways It Has Come Full Circle, And We Now Have More African Americans Under Criminal Supervision Than All Of The Slaves In 1865. This Is A Profoundly Unjust War.

For An Economy Built To Last We Must Invest In What Will Fuel Us For Generations To Come. This Is Our History - From The Transcontinental Railroad To The Hoover Dam, To The Dredging Of Our Ports And Building Of Our Most Historic Bridges - Our American Ancestors Prioritized Growth And Investment In Our Nation's Infrastructure.
