It was a relief to many of us that Jo Biden prevailed on Nov 3. Since then there have been many articles, including one on the blog, praising Biden for his intelligence, empathy, knowledge of government and his integrity. Those who voted for him want the dignity of the presidency restored as well as our democracy upheld. The task at hand is enormous; quelling the virus, restoring the economy as well as reaching out to our allies about vital issues like global warming.
In order to implement any progress, we need to have a chance at the senate voting with Biden. But the way it stand now he will be blocked on most, if not all issues. The consequences of this happening reverberate beyond the bills to be voted on. The way I see it, if Biden fails his presidency the position is not only open to Trump but even worse, a competent dictator.
The two Democratic men challenging the Republican incumbents deserve to be elected on their own merit. Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock have backed the ACA, believe in Science and among other issues back human rights. On the other hand the two Republican incumbents have been accused of insider trading using their position to sell stocks for personal gain and in general have backed Trump in all matters.
After further research, if you agree that Ossoff and Warnock are the better candidates, join me and Mike in sending a monetary contribution by going to their website. You can also phone bank.
Thank you for considering this issue.
Sincerely.

I agree Diana and Mike and have already sent money to these two fine candidates !
Now we are (mostly) all back to holding our breath again !!!!
