For the last few years, I have been inundated with email requests from Democratic candidates and organizations far and wide seeking my opinion on surveys, my signature on petitions, and, of course, donations. I get at least a dozen every day and the pace is picking up. So, I thought it might be helpful to declare my various positions in the hope that a non-digital intelligence can reduce the need to ask the same questions.

  1. I am a senior citizen located in a Philadelphia suburb.
  2. I always vote.
  3. I am a registered Democrat and plan to vote that way in the next election.
  4. I have read the Constitution, the Mueller Report, the Citizen’s United Decision, the Nuremberg Principles, IPCC Reports and the Bible, among many other works to maintain my civic awareness.
  5. As a general rule, I haven’t signed petitions during this administration because I consider it a fruitless effort. An administration that doesn’t obey the law is unlikely to be swayed by a list of names from people that it has no interest in.
  6. I have written to my congressman more times than I can count and so far, also consider that a fruitless effort. See above.
  7. I have joined protests and marched in the streets.
  8. I have volunteered in the community and will continue to do so.
  9. I have already signed up for a mail-in ballot.

I will vote this fall as will every member of my family. If you really want to know my opinions, I take the trouble of writing them down, and you can find them here.
