Capturing Hearts And Minds open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... We dare not assume “this to shall pass”. This call is not: Do you love your Country? It’s more than that because it will infect the world with cynicism. We can’t do everything. . .but what we can do, let’’s do it well!

I’m happy to have “lived” in the 60’s and experienced a type of Camelot. . .the music and feeling was so uplifting—at least in Chicago through a young man’s eyes—then I discovered racial bias when the family moved to Missouri in late 60’s…what a culture shock and now for it to be thrown in my face!

John Lennon was right…all we need is LOVE. But the haters will always be jealous. And those who want to use “Hate” to generate political power will always use the haters to rise to power. It is a vicious cycle which is why History repeats itself. It is hard to fight ignorance.But we must try!

Being Brave For Others, For Yourself open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... We need more “People Power”! Have we topped out? Would another April 5th in May show the world we can STOP this raving maniac—I hope so. But we must multiply our numbers to actually get “Media Attention”!

Moreover, the announcement the DOJ would no longer go after tax cheats and fraudsters in general cleared the way for their stock market “insider traders” scheme.

Very Rumpian—out in the open…they set this up for a real stock manipulation…so obvious—Rump said: Now is a GOOD TIME TO BUY STOCKS…then 4 hours later he announces his 90 day suspension of tariffs! They even Practiced the “grift” and day before suggesting a pause in the tariffs was imminent!

Musk is a “blueprint” on HOW to save democracy; hurt their pocketbook and they will fight each other! Economic Civil Disobedience WORKS…eat domestically grown rice locally grown vegetables and WATCH the pot BOIL.

I am more convinced than ever… if we don’t act quickly, we won’t be allowed to act! Some time ago I wrote about the Israeli people taking to the streets every day to save their Supreme Court. Should We The People Do The Same To SAVE our democracy!

Flying The Colors For Change open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... April 5,2025 was a good beginning…but in order to show the Oligarchs who really holds the purse strings we will need more nationwide demonstrations and selective #resisttospend campaigns to punish the Cabinet Billionaires.

@maryglenn658.bsky.social Mary Glenn…I am doing fine today but very busy putting out additional “post” as time is of the essence and educating people who are stressed out by the daily “flooding the Zone” White House is important in order to “build” a base of support.

@maryglenn658.bsky.social Thank you for reading and understanding our dilemma. Not everyone can be a “Cory Booker”. Our platform is not as great. Our message may not be as eloquent. But our hearts and passion leads us to say and do something. April 5th is on my mind! Cause we have to try!

The Power Grab open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... Flooding the Zone might seem like a good “catch phrase” but without substance or merit it just becomes a series of exercises in “futility”. Our Founding Fathers put a lot of faith in our legal system—so far so good!

@superhackers.bsky.social To all who have encouraged me to write…thank you…We The People can not assume anything…We have them wondering and second guessing Elise Stefanik not any longer be considered for the United Nations—RUMP worried the R’s will lose the House! Running Scared!

Robert Reich’s latest post asks: “Where Are The Democrats”…and I say…if you really want to know where we are—You should LET us tell you without adding a few dollars to your bank account! I say: Impeach and Imprison everyone around the world laughing and bragging how GREAT AMERICA IS now???

open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... Every day THEY remind me how important whatever I can do is a signal to EVERYONE democracy is worth fighting for. . .and We The People are not going to go down easy. . .April 5th is a date the nation will remember!

Imprisoning individuals who compromise Our National Security was the right thing to do—YES? Think if they hold office, IMPEACHING & IMPRISONING these people should be the right response!

open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... Having a little trouble “posting” this article. . .hopefully it’s me, not AI or big brother not wanting the PR…we can determine our own future but only if we decide this is ALL up to us until we get help from the establishment—DNC or ???

Democracy Not Oligarchy open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... Experience Democracy! Participation is recommended if you want to experience True Freedom! Don’t Wait!

open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... During the Where’s Congresswoman Anna Opal Luna 13th Florida Congressional District Town Hall Eric Swalwell said selective spending can be an effective tool to sending a message to the oligarchs: Were not taking no this anymore!

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/re... Of the three “co-equal” branches of our democracy—only ONE is still providing some opposition to Rump’s growing desire to be King!

open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... As I writer, one wonders if their message connects with the reader. . .I suppose I hoping it connects with someone who can help us overcome this storm.

We have an “Achilles Heals”…Chuck Schumer just doesn’t get it. “Zero” democrats think we would have been held accountable for a government shutdown! The REAL TRUTH is shutting down may not be in the interest of people Chuck represents—it is not us! We need real leadership; it is NOT him!

open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... It’s past time to get smart…Let’s try something new: Let’s get EVEN! Every Cabinet Member has a weakness in their portfolio, in their character…they wanted to “play” politician in the wide open space…time to pay the fiddler for the music you wanted to hear-yourself.

To See And To Understand open.substack.com/pub/geraldfr... Challenging our commercial engine to get political results via economic civil disobedience was met with some resistance from both sides. Is the struggle for democracy worth some tough times? Should they worry about ‘people power’?

It really gets my dander up when an alleged freedom fighter organization tells us how we can get out the message of freedom of the People, yet shut off whatever ideas we have by ONLY allowing PAID Subscribers to comment…People Power United! Says it wants our help, BUT not our ideas-only our money.

@yayitsjustme.bsky.social Feb 28th is not going to be “a one and its done” for ME…I can only hope everyone understands how much power they have so why give up in advance. Economic Civil Disobedience works and the Oligarchs are scared we won’t give up! I don’t know how to give up on democracy!

Think it might be appropriate to include one of my favorite Gene Wilder movies: Don’t Start The Revolution Without Me!

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... We need everyone more than ever. . .you are NOT just one person that doesn’t count! We can all make A Big Difference! When WE ACT AS ONE!

@dangergranger73.bsky.social Thank you for your desire to be part of our quest for freedom from the tyranny that is engulfing our democracy. It is not going to be a stroll in the park. I believe the oligarchs will respond to “Economic Civil Disobedience”. We must remained focused, vigilant.

I’ve contacted many organizations looking for someone to stand up and take the reins—no takers so far. Guess we are going to have to SAVE ourselves. We can do it! I kind of thought our “leaders” wouldn’t have the “hutzpah” to challenge the commercial establishment!

@spicymixofsweet.bsky.social I am convinced calling these people out for being inflicted is a waste of time. We need to hold our “representatives feet” to the fire to actually help everybody and that hasn’t happened for a long time. When Covid hit—we had the money…but then what happened?

@spicymixofsweet.bsky.social You can’t rehab people who want an excuse to hate and disparage others. We all know family friends who have fallen into this abyss called FOX (Entertainment) alleged News programming. We outnumber them—we just need to message better and give them a reason to VOTE.

(Part 2): Money gets you an audience. We actually hold the purse strings. We NEED an organization to lead our fight. I’m on the front row! The OLIGARCHS will move the puppets in the direction the wind blows.
