Old white guys and Bible-thumping Christians are in charge! They are not the adequate representation of today's American population. I am not a man basher or a Christian hater but I often do not understand either of them. As I watch the Kavanaugh hearings reopened, I watched the behavior and avoidance of the Republican Judiciary Committee members. (aka old white men) It was shocking and we all need to call them out for their gross unfair behavior towards women. It is clear how skewed our political system has become (or still is)…They have forgotten our country is for the people…all of the people, founded on equal rights for all (including our own bodies), freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It scares the hooey out of me that a handful of old white Christian men (who absolutely benefit from us losing those rights) will be in charge of the hearings. I will be writing more letters! (I might be on a couple of “watch” lists by now!) No one can demand I give up the great things I have right now, not for religion and not for politics...nor should they be able to unfairly control the wishes of the American people, their health and happiness...and that includes women, brown people, non-Christians, and the LGBT. This country belongs to all of the glorious different ones of us and it belongs to us now!
