The propublica audio resonates so strongly with me that it brought me to tears.

AnneWimsey comments on Jun 19, 2018:

Dimple things you can do Right now: 1. Donate to the ACLU or similar organizations taking this to the courts 2. Program your "representatives" contact info into your phone so you can voice your opinions easily & often 3. VOTE! Even better, work for a candidate, or registering new voters. Remember, Not voting is a vote, of acceptance of this horror!

Question. How do you feel about needing to put your hand on a bible in court to be sworn in?

AnneWimsey comments on Jun 19, 2018:

This doesn't happen much anymore. You will simply be asked to swear if you will tell the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth. No 'before gawd", no stupid babble. If you oddly found yourself in some backwater, you can simply state this , politely mentioning you have different values. Quakers have been doing it forever!

AnneWimsey comments on Jun 19, 2018:

AnneWimsey comments on Jun 18, 2018:

3 things you can do! 1. Program your "representatives" contact info into your phone so you can make your voice heard quickly & easily. 2. Donate to the ACLU or similar, they are holding the line in our courts. 3. VOTE! No candidate is perfect, but we can surely do better than this! Not voting is not a protest, it is acquiescence!
