When the people lead

In case you missed it, as I did, the link to
Bill Moyers Journal is: pbs.org/moyers/journal, and the date of the show is July 13, 2007.

In it, Bruce Fein says, “We cannot entrust the reins of power, unchecked power, with these people. They’re untrustworthy. They’re asserting theories of government that are monarchical. We don’t want them to exercise it. We don’t want Hilary Clinton or Rudy Giulani or anyone in the future to exercise that.”

Mike, is it possible that you could be the one to speak to the speaker? John Nichols suggests these words: “You know, Nancy, I respect you. I respect you greatly, Mrs. Speaker. But the country is more important. So you can … you can get mad at me. You can, you know, push back internally and whatever. But I’m going to the American people and I’m going to talk to them like Bruce Fein just did.”

Sincerely, Judy Hodgson
