“There are a lot of reasons why an individual might have a status of "convicted felon" -- some reasons, such as plea-bargaining, that need study and correction. That's a separate matter from the right to vote, yet there are political forces that work to impede the right to vote, and take whatever me…”

“The Census is supposed to count persons, not merely citizens. It will not be an accurate count if the citizenship question is included because non-citizens, in this climate of fear of deportation, will avoid responding altogether, and that is what is wanted by those pushing the inclusion of the cit…”

“The full, unredacted Mueller Report, with substantiating information, should go to Congressional committees, and there receive necessary security-related redactions and timely release to the public. For its release to be held up by any individual -- particularly one who can be seen as owing somethi…”

“An uninformed voting public can be used to lead democracy off into any other form of might-makes-right form of government. An uninformed voting public is a potential tool for the powerful.
