        I grew up in the 60s, when a President pushed progressive legislation through Congress, when the Great Society was a promise made concrete by laws to give all Americans the vote, to protect their civil rights, and to provide them with health, education and a secure old age.

        I remember it was a hot August day on the south side of Chicago. We felt proud. Victorious.

        I was 7 years old. I remember my Dad explaining to me that 'this is history, honey' and how important it was. It still is.

        If, as I fervently hope it will, the House flips, we need to start working on voting rights. Restoring the VRA and outlawing political disenfranchisement and gerrymandering!

        We need to re-up it & get rid of Citizens United, require automatic audits, hand hand count paper ballots publicly funded campaigns & require free TV ads for general elections.
