On this one, I mis-quoted. The Saudi Arabian arms deal was actually $110 billion, more than I can fathom. And, every one of those dollars will go to the U.S. War industry. Our president was the ad-man for this industry. How much time will he spend promoting the U.S. Peace industry?

We seem to have lost the feeling of being a united nation. I plan to send a postcard each day to our new President sharing what drives me through my days, what I want for this country, and what I want our nation to stand for. You are free to comment. I hope you will comment with generosity and civility. Please respect the intent of this effort. Thank you, Dianne

A lesson...
Okay, I know this wasn't very, ...well, civil, but I couldn't resist. Consider it lesson about about how to monitor what comes out of our mouths.

A poor trade-off...
Militarism and a wall, that seems to be the sum total of your presidential agenda. And, though you promised that Americans would not pay for the wall, it is the people who will lose their health coverage and safety nets that will put that money into the pockets of the wealthy. It is a poor trade-off for the American people. We will stand up to you at every step of the way.

Teach your children...
Knowing what is most important comes from inside of us. If the only thing we value is what earns us money or power, we are missing the very things that make life worth living. Gratitude for the Earth and the beings that live on her cannot be bought or sold. It should be taught to us as young children, but we can learn it for ourselves as well... if we do not live for money or power alone.

Sustaining the resistance...
To all of you who "like" my postcards, or share them with your friends, or share your comments with me, thank you. I do this for you and I do it for me. By sustaining each other, we will change the world.

Citizens United, what does that mean?
Since the dawn of our republic, money has swayed our elections. And, since the Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United (which it is anything but), special interest money has bought more and more of our candidates. One thing that would put our government back into the hands of the people would be to repeal Citizens United. Isn't that an interesting sentence?
