I have been reading Daily Kos for a while now. When I came here, I didn’t want to hide the fact that I was a republican. I was a republican from the time I could vote in 1982 all the way until 2004 when I voted for Kerry. I voted for Obama both times, who I view as the greatest president of my lifetime, and also for Hillary Clinton. Tomorrow I am going to a Black Lives Matter Rally in my city of 30,000 with all 3 of my kids. I have a heart condition and had heart surgery last summer and I, of course, are one of those with underlying conditions. I don’t tell you that because I want praise. On the contrary, I deserve rebuke. My whole life I have seen the way that the less fortunate are treated and even though I knew it was wrong, I remained silent. Until Now!!! Martin Luther King Jr. said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” I don’t want to be remembered that way. I want to be part of those who stand up for what is right.
Wow did I get sidetracked. I don’t want to be seen on these forums as Ohiorepub anymore. I have been a registered Democrat since my eyes were opened in 2004. However, when I post, someone questions my loyalty and others think I am a troll. Can I get my username changed or do I need to create a new account? Thanks.
