If you hadn't heard (and how could you have not), on Saturday, April 5, there was a massive "Hands off" protest across the country and internationally. We were gonna go, but one of our cats wasn't feeling well, so we stayed home with her instead. Based on what I've heard of crowd size, it may have been a good thing as my anxiety probably wouldn't have handled it well. Since I couldn't attend, I thought I would write out my list of hands-off items. A list that wouldn't have fit onto a single sign.
I'm sure if I had more time to think about it, this list would grow. The fact is, our country and our government should be doing better. They should be doing what is best for all citizens, not just the 1%. They should not be so obsessed with power that people like me get hurt in the end.
As Barack Obama said, "The most important office in this democracy is the ordinary person." Comments are closed.

Welcome to HopefullyMAD. Here, I share my thoughts and opinions on topics that are important to me.
Why did I choose the name HopefullyMAD? Right now, I am MAD at the world and its treatment of human beings. Nobody should be made to feel less than. But I am also Hopeful. Without hope, what is there to fight for? I fight because of my hope for a better world. Why not MADhopeful? Here's why; because I hope that you are MAD too. I hope that you are so MAD that you join me and others in this fight for our rights back. Be hopeful. Be MAD. Be HopefullyMAD. Categories
