10. Except people have no idea what is happening.

Speaker Johnson wants Krasnov's 4.7 trillion dollar tax cut vote by the 4th of July. Included in the tax cuts are slashes to the safety social net.

I do not subscribe to the Chuck Schumer strategy to let Krasnov burn it all down and then we win the next election. By the time the election rolls around who knows what this country will look like?

Getting people to tell their stories at town halls is very effective.

Getting the major news outlets to allow prime time town halls would be the big hurdle. The fact that the major networks would be afraid to run with my idea tells me that it would work.
