@erictweber Maybe in the exchange of ideas via free and open discourse...but that is not identical to political power

Today is my father's 70th birthday. In his honor, I am posting commercials he shot in the early 90's. He is playing the goofy character "Harvey Youme." https://t.co/PUXTiKiJf5

At the ICE facility I visited, I met a woman from Mexico who has lived here for 18 years. She called 911 after her husband brutally beat her. They turned her over to immigration authorities. She now fears deportation. She has 3 kids.

There should be no agency with this mission.

2013 signers: 119 Rs, 21 Ds
2018 signers: 15 Rs, 73 Ds
Very few of us signed both.
