My dear friends & family who care for the welfare of your fellow Americans in need,

I have a specific point to share with you and it won’t take even a minute of your time. Thank you in advance if you decide to continue.

Please, please assist the non-readers when they appear in your orbit. They often suffer in prideful silence.

You’d think this solely a task for us teachers but adults like this exist everywhere and most are afraid to admit their gigantic handicap, being that they cannot read.

If you are silent, you can hear their whispers.

A huge percentage of illiterate adults in America are unemployed, not by their choice or lack of trying as Republicans these days pigeon-hole the poor in their Trumpy “MAGA” worldview.

I absolutely cry inside whenever I listen to and/or sing this powerful song 😭 Mostly I have the hardest time singing it because I see non-reader people in my bent mind as I play and it becomes overwhelming. ❤️‍🩹 In fact, my dear lovelies I’m crying now, seeing them on D Street and 7th as I board my bus, wiping real tears away.

“All those lines and circles
to me, a mystery
Eve, pull down the apple
and give a taste to me
If she could it would be wonderful …”

Obama’s speech last night was marvelous. The tide of humanity is turning so I ask you to get on board, get on the right side, the human side of America.

Evil is going out of style can’t you feel it? Vote Democrat, vote Kamala Harris in November I entreat you to believe as I know: she gets the concept of Natalie Merchant’s truly necessary and emotive song. ✌️

I’m crying for them now, seeing them on D and 18 as I board my city bus, wondering about their education. I am he as. If you want to hear the truest vision for this country, I’ve provided it below. Give it a listen and drop the judgement, please. 🙏 These are days to get right.
