Shot them selves in the foot ( Self inflected wound )

 It will be a year to keep our Eyes open and a good sense of humor

             Gerrymandering has been used for decades to manipulate Voting districts allowing like minded people to maintain control of large areas with out having the voting majority in those large land areas. This really Works well to circumvent democracy for The house of representatives.. But for national elections where one Man one vote Applies Democracy wins out. This very tool (Gerrymandering) has limited the ability of these like minded people to win a general election

             In the last few years certain Groups Have subverted Democracy by blocking Vote count and Blocking Voters. Our current elected president remains in office because of a system created by our founding fathers who thought beyond their short life spans. In this coming election cycle efforts will made again I am sure to subvert our free and open elections..

             It may come to pass that this progressive nation will cease to be as we know it and move in the direction envisioned by those such as the Koch Brothers.. But not in our life times, through education in what has gone before we as a nation can stay the path.
