The sudden departure of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, not unexpected after a long struggle with cancer, (and May She Rest in Peace and Power), is the signal for the real struggle to begin over the control of our national destiny. Now, with The Covid and The Trump Recession on one front, and the nomination of a replacement to RGB on the other, the battle is joined at a higher level. It’s been made clear over recent years how much in this period of divided government the power of the federal courts has risen. That is the chief reason that Majority Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has done little other than obsess about appointing federal judges and justices inclined toward his ideas of partiality, favor and advantage. The hypocrisy of Senators like Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton and Mitch himself, who as a group with others of their ilk would not even favor Merrick Garland with a hearing, much less a vote, to hurry to judgement at this delicate moment should energize all those who understand what is at stake to make the maximum effort to throw out The Party of Corruption and Lies. As the Trumpublicans have tactically exposed their flanks to the reality of how they wish to govern, largely in absence and with favor toward only some, the opportunity for a decisive victory is stronger. Now the Great Trifecta — House, Senate and Presidency is within reach. Do not allow the opportunity to slip away. The JKF campaign is becoming very much a secondary matter.
Labor Day in the fall is an artifice of American culture born of the concern of the political leadership that allowing the celebration of working people to occur on May 1st, in solidarity with those who toil across the world, would only enhance the power of the international forces trying to reform capitalism. That fact, the importance of May to the forces of revolutionary action, is one big reason why I began my campaign on May Day. Now though, it is also true that our fall celebration is the official start of the final round leading up to the elections at the beginning of November, “the first Tuesday after the first Monday”, and signifies the moment of truth for the many years of planning, organizing and fund raising that those who aspire to be elected have undertaken. Therefore, because of the tremendous stakes of the next sixty days in this historic Presidential contest, the need for all citizens and voters to be alert, hard working and diligent in their scrutiny of the facts and their pursuit of the reality in regard to our pressing problems is particularly intense. If we are lazy or duplicitous the entire matter may slip out of our hands. Powerful forces seek to neutralize the power of workers, farmers, students, homemakers, and aggrieved minorities of many stripes, most acutely by manipulation of the narrative concerning this historic moment and then the actual results of the hard vote on November 3rd.
