I seldom see any of them post here anymore. I find it sad their voice was silenced on a Democratic board. Yet some that tried to remove them are no longer with us.

Still they were run off. They shut the lights off. They are gone, yet not forgotten. Never forgotten.

And very poignant given the re-normalization of the marginalization of so many in the Republican party's new America.

In the craziest part of the primaries and GE this place the AA Group was sane.

So, I want to say hello to all the folks who may stop by to read but have been unfairly driven away...
