What Red Lights Will You Go Through for the Chance to Be Heard?
What rules do we play by now?
Are you asking yourself the same question... “What rules do we play by now?”

I do not support our current administration. I support choice. I support the fundamental right to choose my elected officials based on their regard for democracy, which includes fairness, morality, equality, debate, checks and balances, consideration, compromise, and above all else, a strong ethical relationship with other democratic countries.
But if the current administration chooses to disregard the red lights and plow through the intersection, gunning it at top speed to get through because they don’t think that red lights apply to them, what choice do I have? Pursue them at top speed myself? And if so, how?
