John McCain....Patriot or not?
Senator John McCain has only two days left to resign in time to allow his seat to go to special election in November. After May 31, by law, whenever the seat becomes vacant the Republican governor will be allowed to appoint someone who is allowed to hold that seat until December 31, 2020.
If McCain was the true patriot many of us suspect, he will give the Democratic party the chance to put up a senatorial firewall against Trump's disastrous judicial picks, and join a Democratic-majority House in keeping this con-man president in partial check. The odds of flipping the Senate in November are much better if McCain puts country before party and resigns in the next forty-eight hours. Sadly, I'm not holding my breath. Nor do I expect that the Republican party will ever do anything to clip the wings of our disastrous presidential pterodactyl.
Randy Bryce Memorial Day Message Emailed to Me....
XXXXX X!
For a lot of folks, this weekend is a long one spent outside grilling or at the lake--but we cannot forget why a lot of us have the day off: Memorial Day is a day to remember.
Like millions of Americans throughout our country's history, I volunteered to join the army. Everyone who enlists does so knowing that you may have to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect your fellow brothers and sisters serving with you and to protect those back at home.
Nobody picks who makes it back and who doesn't. And when you decide to go serve, you don't know, even if you make it home, if anyone will care that you were gone. Because while you're away, life continues without you.
My first job after the army was as a housing coordinator to help homeless veterans. Those veterans are humble and private about their service. We can see them and appreciate their service, but too many in positions of power choose not to. They deserve so much more for all they've sacrificed than our country has given them in return.
So today, please take a moment to remember those that didn't make it back. And pledge to do a bit more to help those in need who did.
Thank you,
Randy Bryce
