        Appreciate the coverage of this issue; I saw you speak at my university recently and you were great! I want to also say the Tennesseans on the ground, mostly women, who have been trying to hold Casada accountable for months deserve some cred too. Thanks again!

        Amazing how he left out the people and organizations in Tennessee who are fighting on the ground, and gives all credit to himself and his followers. Super rude, Shaun.

        Yup. He sent out a big e-mail saying his followers calls were what did it. I’m tired of him ignoring the people who do the real work and then taking credit.

        Was at the Phila. airport yesterday sitting next to a connected Tenn. republican calling other connected tenn. republicans saying that knowing Casada the way he does, no way that he will resign. Guess he was wrong.

        There's power in numbers, if we continue to fight this way, and not just get angry & hostile, we'll get most of the bad apples outta there!!

        Thankfully, there's still power in numbers. The biggest threat to democracy is apathy.
