Civil Disobedience (Op-Ed By James V. Ferguson, MD)

We Are In Danger Of Losing America. This Pains Me And Is Driving Me Towards Passive Resistance And Civil Disobedience. It Worked For Gandhi And MLK. “Just Say No” Is A Proven Strategy. I Am Adding This To My List Of Things We Can Do To Correct The Disaster Of The Biden Presidency. To Reiterate: We Must Vote, We Can Boycott, You Should Obey The Law, But Hold Accountable Those Who Unjustly Apply It. And We Must Be Courageous And Challenge The Misinformed By Refusing To Accept Their False Narratives, Even If This Threatens Friendships.

To Vote Or Not – What’s Your Excuse?

Liberal Minded Residents Are Moving In And Eroding Blount County And East Tennessee’s Conservative Reputation And Stronghold. Some Transplanted Voters Are Certainly Sure To Be “Wolves In Sheep’s” Clothing. Democrats Proved That They Are Much More Masterful And Effective At Registering And Motivating People To Vote.
