The town hall was amazing and the next one will be so good as well. Thanks so much.

Bernie and OAC are hitting the road again......Hopefully MTN will be broadcasting more massive crowds showing up!!!

All of these governors would make fine presidents. Thank you for organizing our defense against democracy. I wrote a poem inspired by the bravery of mighty Meidas: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/meidas-touch-poem

And Tim Walz may be the truly-elected Vice President right now! Vote manipulation of cast votes on some Early Day voting and some Election Day voting might well have happened in Election 2024 as urgent and recent statistical analysis found known patterns of potential vote flipping and deletions to possibly reverse Kamala & Tim's victory through a computer algorithm! We can therefore still #VerifyTheVote with hand count audits for 2024 which will also better #SecureTheMidterms. See Election Truth Alliance's info & help demand audits in swing states' biggest counties incl. in PA, NV, NC, etc. ETA has an important new Audit Advocacy Toolkit on their Resources section that people are using to contact states at: https://electiontruthalliance.org/audit-advocacy-toolkit! Thank you. Also sign onto this one like I did: https://www.change.org/p/demand-a-hand-count-audit-of-pennsylvania-s-2024-presidential-election . We the People need and deserve to know now! #TruthMatters

No doubt about it, something was wrong with the results of that election! Musk most likely had a heavy hand in corrupting the tallies.

Public Servant, your poem should be carved in stone for its moral strength and power not only got what Meidas stands for but for that which Americans feel buy hard to express. I’m no expert in poetry but it the feelings I experience reading your poem are those when I read the Declaration of Independence, listen to the Battle Hymn of the Republic, our national anthem , The Star Spangled Banner, and what we the American people feel about what is right and true about our democracy. Your poem should be carved in stone

so that generations will learn about and remember these times and recommit to protect our democracy first and foremost. Thank you for sharing your positive inspiration through your poetry.

Hopefully, Katie and Joyce will do a regular thing like that. Katie has that edge that I "luv" so much. Aways go to IHIPNEWS for Jennifer Welch and "Pumps" Angie Sullivan for my fix after MTN.....now we have Katie.

Definatly, will be taking in the JV/KP conversation again.......fantastic

It was refreshing and encouraging to get answers to the actual questions being asked. We are used to getting “political speak” that never answers anything. All of the Governors were great. Can’t wait for the next one.

and their answers were meaty! and comprehensive and thoughtful! And most, already in play! No empty "promises" or gaslighting. SO REFRESHING!!

It was a positively awesome Town Hall with 4 great governors! I sure hope you’re going to do this again and bring on all the democratic governors! Loved how they all encouraged everyone to find what they’re good at and use it to fight against all the wrongs being done by Trump and the GQP! Thank you Ben and all who worked to make this happen! It was 5 Star quality! More please!
