Dear all Democrats in power. try something - DO SOMETHING.

THIS is what we want. We don’t know if this one act by Booker will have an immediately observed benefit but it is a VISIBLE ACT of resistance. It speaks FOR US. And it is speaking FOR us, and whole lot less down to us, and making excuses that is needed.
