Martin Luther King, Jr. influenced my political thinking more than any other individual. I was fortunate to have worked under him on Vietnam Summer and to have been present on the Washington Mall fifty-seven years ago today on August 28, 1963. It’s hard to believe that we are once again fighting the battle to secure the voting rights won as a result of his dream, and to restore them, where racist Republicans are outlawing the right to vote. Will his dream survive? This is almost a repost of last years article. I updated it to fit the situation today.
Last night Trump* violated the Hatch Act by using the White House Rose Garden as an Republican National Convention prop. He spewed an unprecedented stream of lies, hate, and racism, while blaming Democrats and Blacks for the plague and economic devastation spread by his own incompetence. If Trump* can steal the 2020 election, America as we knew it will cease to be. Never before has there been such a threat that Dr. King’s dream will be destroyed by the Republican Reich! Will it survive or will defacto slavery, in which Blacks, Latinos and poor Whites slave to serve the interests of greedy Republican billionaires and corporate criminals? The choice is Dr. Kings dream or a permanent National Socialist Republican Reich. The outcome of that choice depends on what YOU do NOW!
RESIST!!

dt doesn’t respect or treasure our history, it’s only about himself.
I agree with your words, Tom. Thank you!
VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!!
If the Orange Ogrish Oaf is re-elected, you know what’s going to hit the fan – big time. Let’s do all we can to get out the Progressive vote, because only tossing tRump out of the Oval Office can we ensure the survival of the USA. Joe Biden is no prize, but he’ll have to do.
I think you mean it was the former Rose Garden that he used. Ain’t no roses there no more.
Joe Biden is a decent and caring human being – not exactly in the mold of Jimmy Carter, but more like him than like any other past President in my lifetime. We could do a lot worse.
What an insult tRump is to our country. Shows no respect to anyone, but himself.
I too agree with what you wrote, TC.
If he wins, our country is doomed.
Like others have mentioned, Joe isn’t a gem, but certainly better than than tRumpy.
I can’t bear to think about what’ll happen to America, and the rest of the world, if Trump is reelected so I won’t.
Stop the rioting- it isn’t in MLK’s spirit – prevent white supremacist from starting up riots and vote for Biden and every other Democrat on the ballot. Please.
Thanks, pooped Hugs, and Amen to all!
