I’m Not Thankful To Be An American
Well, it’s Thanksgiving Weekend 2022. A day of family, friends, food, and thankfulness. I have a lot to be thankful for. I’m thankful for many things this year. One of the new ones for me is being thankful for being a writer. I couldn’t say the same last Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for the opportunity to write so many blogs and to make so many wonderful friends. It’s been awesome to have a voice these past 11 months.
Jason ProvencioPublished 2 years ago in The SwampCongress: An Intentional Giant Mess from the Start
» KEY POINTS The House of Representatives is supposed to be the “Legislature of the People” and the Senate the “Legislature of the Land”. Neither are doing the job as intended. How did we get to this point and why is there no cure? No adjustment to legislative rules is going to fix a fundamentally broken system.

Plus all the money he makes from performing with Mikey Craig, and Roy Hay, aka Culture Club. John Moss seems to have departed the band a while ago.

» KEY POINTS When someone who was perceived as my adversary and I teamed up and learned to understand where the other one came from, we were able to create lasting and important change. This is a lesson that our representatives in government need to learn. Is there someone who is willing to reach across the aisle and discover that more can be accomplished together?

People Call Me a Liberal, As If That’s An Insult
One thing I openly own and love about myself: I’m a bleeding heart liberal. I care for all people who are good humans. The marginalized groups of society are my family. I love the LGBTQ community. I don’t give a good goddamn whether you have a problem with that or not.
