I watched on all of the TV Stations just to make sure I was seeing what I saw that fateful

January 6 and decided for the rest of my entire life I will never forget to remind those who deny what happened what I/ we saw. We all must continue to report and remind those who saw but deny still that witnesses were not just on the ground, they were all over the world sitting in front of computers, tvs, radios, watching real time. It was life changing for me - I will never trust a mob with a gang leader ever. Blast Trump to Hell.

I’ve saved the video from the Committee hearing to remind me every single year that what happened that day is NOT what this administration is describing. It was a violation of the law and an insurrection.

It is beyond me that the people of our county would allow not just electing a person of such low morals and character not just once but twice !!

It makes me think most of my fellow citizens are really stupid, uncaring or crazy!! ( pick one!)

My family, going back several decades were from another country like most of us all, having lived here believing that freedom was what we all wanted, like many other families, fought and died for this idea of democracy

for all…. to this situation we find ourselves today.

I keep hoping this nightmare will end soon, and our elected representatives will act in our best interest as they promised when they took their oath …. But reality today is that there is just silence!

I am waiting as all of us are… but there is no action, just silence!

I am as others wanting to know why and when we will again become …

A couple of unpleasant alternatives to U.S. voters having been "stupid, crazy, or uncaring" — they may've been brainwashed &/or racist.

Bright America and the clear "bright" line between facts and spin. Thanks Austin.

Throughout history it has always been a minority of people who want to learn, understand, discuss, challenge and with reliable leadership make a difference. That took time and effort. In today's environment of information noise, that minority has a more difficult time and obligation to keep promoting truth, historical fact, civil discussion, and meaningful solutions that find common ground. That is why NFRPP www.nfrpp.org is still scrambling to bring credible information to the public on the contentious issues of our time. And it is not easy. Scarce time, distractions, attention spans all play a role is that difficulty. But we have to keep at it. Thanks Bright America for keeping at it.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Do or die.

No better friend of freedom, no worse enemy of tyranny.

How can we not pay taxes that support these lies and not get fined?

In order to get away with not paying income taxes (& to escape meaningful consequences for a myriad of other high crimes & misdeeds with minors) — it's helpful to be Donald Trump.
