I have no faith in Hillary or the Clintons whatsoever, but I’m willing to support Marianne’s letter…
Marianne Williamson’s An Open Letter to Hillary Clinton: “Hi, Hillary. You know me. I mean, we’re not friends, exactly, but we’re acquaintances…”

My main squeeze Lady Liberty wrote me last week:
Has anyone heard of Lawrence Lessig’s Super PAC to end all Super
PACs? Dubbed The Mayday (https://mayday.us/), it is exactly what we’ve been talking about but now crystallized into action.
US: I checked it out, and it’s pretty hot. It’s what we’ve been
missing: a covalent political initiative wherein the agenda that’s being pushed is to establish a change in free speech as well as the money situation. The best example of that that I’ve seen to date is Bill Bradley’s suggestion regarding a constitutional amendment and other things that go with. But a political solution without trying to break the stranglehold from another direction, from populism, can’t work. That’s why Occupy was so promising; and this is its bastard stepchild. We need both.
It’s petition day! Yes, it’s true that clicking a link is worth about the time you put into it, but that is actually not nothing, and collectively it’s a lot. Plus, that’s why you’re willing to do it: it just takes a second. Now, if you have more time, you can write a comment like I did: “I am just one voice, but anybody is just one voice, therefore my voice is no less than anybody’s. That’s not just philosophy. It’s the principle upon which our country was founded. And that is actually the principle that’s at stake if Net Neutrality goes down. FCC, stop shirking your responsibility and grant ISPs the same status as other communications providers.” Either way, at least visithttp://www.noslowlane.com.

A recent spate of conservative rulings from the Supreme Court found me holding contempt for their allowance of public speech of a different sort. It seems it is fine to start every town hall meeting with claims about how Jesus Christ came back from the dead or how he is the ultimate judge. Do some research of your own and you’ll agree, some of the quotes about what we are all supposed to believe surfacing in the non-sectarian public space are downright scary. The ruling in question here, The Town of Greece v Galloway (http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/town-of-greece-v-galloway/) was indeed close, a 5-4 vote, with the usual right wing and left in their respective corners.
