Always good to hear from you.

Yes, I believe many of the senators who voted as they did, voted in good faith. I don't necessarily agree with the their position but I'm not a representative of a hurting constituency, nor am I a fly on the wall privy to their private thoughts or conversations.

I'm just a regular Democrat who honestly believes that the Democratic Party is fighting for the rule of law, human dignity and the continuation of the US Constitution.

That means something.

For our way of life, our kids, our grand babies, for all of our futures that means everything.

And yes, we have the right and civic responsibility to primary those representatives we believe have come up short.

We shall see, as they say. Take care if yourself!
