Thursday November 6th Meeting #711
OPEN FORUM - How Do You Feel After Tuesday's Ballot Results?
Although it was an off-year election cycle, the Democratic Party had a very successful Tuesday night. During this Open Forum, Lorraine Keed and Tom Berry will guide a discussion around some questions/thoughts people may have relating to Tuesday's success, such as:
1. Did these states' successes inspire confidence that an impetus to establish a lasting nationwide Democrat identity has finally taken off?
2. How much of the election results amounted to believing in Democrat's protecting democracy, and genuine concern for the majority against Trump's unauthorized plunder and general violation of the Constitution?
3. Did the win on Tuesday establish further blame of shutdown onto the Republican's court? Should Democrats hold firm on a Republican commitment to fund the ACA issue(s), not just a performative vote to the floor and then vote against it?
4. Do you think some MAGAs are beginning to turn away from Trump due to his lack of performance, e.g., economy as it affects them (stock market not a big factor for most), Trump's overall cruelty, actions of ICE, lack of concern of tariffs on households, ACA costs, loss of jobs, massive dismantling of government, etc.
5. Will there be more Republicans becoming vocal against lack of legislation to serve the majority, e.g., Marjorie Taylor Greene (still not a fan) has spoken out on ACA, release of Epstein files, and she has not taken a paycheck during shutdown, but still loves Trump.
NOTE: As already indicated, these are a few topics/questions to promote interactive discussion within the group. Obviously, anyone can offer additional questions for group discussion. Looking forward to everyone's input during these critical times in our country.

Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.
