Whether or not we have kept it is debatable. Everyone is too busy calling it a “democracy.” Most have no clue what the difference is.
Be that as it may, the only way we serve our republic is to participate in it. Ours is a participatory form of governance. It is your duty to participate.
I cannot too strongly encourage you to vote---progressive. We can’t be tethered to what is. We must consider the best for the collective’s future.
Vote progressive.

In the race for DA, it may be Reed’s record that’s the real voter issue
Whether she was threatening to arrest and prosecute non-profit employees working to implement a Texas Legislature-approved needle-exchange program that advocates say would have saved lives in San Antonio, or picking up unregistered (illegal) airline tickets for a cheap vacation, or intervening when her son’s friend tried to carry a firearm through San Antonio International Airport, the rules of the game seem to have melted around the veteran prosecutor these past years. But probably the most interesting thing about Reed is her incredibly cautious nature when it comes to anything that doesn’t conclude with a locking cell door. It’s a point LaHood zeroes in on.

"It was all about expedience. It was all about speed," Morgenson says. "It's just a really sad commentary on the way the business was approached ... but this is exactly what the banks did when they were making the mortgages, so why are we surprised on the other end of it, that they're doing it again?"
