So,  months have gone by …

I have been listening, reading and hearing comments about how Obama took a great first step toward change but didn’t go far enough to sedate or fulfill the promises he made to special interest groups during his campaign. Yes, the negative comments are became bold, louder and more frequent …but in this new era of trump folks are starting to feel like we are into trumps 4th yr but sadly it is only the beginning of his 2nd year …The change we wanted to believe in has been trashed pulled and stomped on … however, not forgotten and as each day goes by with news of a bill that hurts those in the middle to lower class, obstruction of justice, possible collusion and money laundering it becomes more obvious that it will take just as long to clean up the mess this administration leaves for Americans while they have more financial contacts contracts and some say possible criminal behavior . I once said change takes time … it also takes a cooperating Congress, but this group of so called public servants are showing America that the 1% wants theirs now finally having that opportunity in the palm of their hand with an albeit inept trifecta willing to stay quiet while implementing extreme right policies judges and laws before being run out of office …

**Environmentalist… long ago the likes of a Phil Radford, exec director/Greenpeace USA  stated among other things,” Obama is missing in action” as it relates to global warming,in an article written by Bryan Walsh from Time Magazine… but consider what we now have is a government opening up every aspect of our environment to toxic waste in whatever shape or form you want to insert

**Gay/Lesbian leaders…  remember the days when folks said Obama was not going far enough on don’t ask/don’t tell then he announced he will enact federal benefits for same sex couples …but said he was moving too slow?  too little too late? come on… People of colour know what being impatient means …Now, in this era of trump the idea of saying one thing on camera and voting another has gone a new direction…trump said no transgender military personnel the courts said uh yes, then republicans decided they side with trump …um do they even know about the discrimination laws …yes, they do exist but this government seems to believe it can be side stepped in the cases of those under “protected status”

** Immigration  Yes, Obama deported a whole lot of people and folks did not like it yet, in this era of trump we have to ask if he is moving toward that ugly operation Eisenhower tried to implement? We have far and few center judges now, some are willing to recognize and call out what looks like discrimination behind the moves in our current government

**Health-care liberals… are impatient talked a whole lot of trash yet we are not any closer to what ACA or Obamacare would have looked like if a bipartisan group had really existed …Those whose lives have been touched know the good things it  has done besides save lives …and btw having healthcare should not is not a partisan issue or football

**Wall Street … flexed their muscles to show Americans who really is in charge of the market … bad behavior needs to be Regulated – over spending, income inequality in tax cuts, putting the donors first instead of doing the job of a public servant while getting $$ when you vote against your constituents

change will happen, a good President can’t do it all himself, we need to call, write and march to let Congress know what they are doing is NOT working

A change we can believe in
