Rest in Peace RBG
Excellence, understanding, clarity, and grit Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg brought to the bench and throughout her life. Her contributions are a full-measured gift to our nation and encompass important, pivotal changes in ways we perceive and treat women and all our citizens in our laws, society, and culture. She leaves us a legacy of inspiration.
Very, very well done, Notorious RBG. Thank you.

John Lewis gave his all to gain voting rights. Through November 3rd, 2020, I will include the reliable links (below) to voting information. We know now, ever more acutely, solutions to many, many, deep down, life-changing problems are needed. The remedy lies in a ballot box. Each vote is a vaccine.

9-4-2020 update: Here's where to hand-carry your ballot in Montgomery County, PA: Voter Services, 1 Montgomery Plaza, 425 Swede St, STE 602, Norristown, PA, 19401
See the 9/18/20 update below.
Here's the latest...
9-18-2020 update:
The Pennsylvania high court ruled in favor of voters...
1. Extended the deadline for mail ballots to be returned to Friday [5pm] after Election Day.
2. Ruled that voters can use drop boxes to return ballots.
3. Removed the Green Party’s presidential ticket from the ballot.
4. Upheld the requirement that poll watchers only work in the county where they are registered to vote.
In favor of the RNC's suit the court...
1. Prohibited third parties from collecting and returning mail ballots. (So now, if I help a wheel-chaired neighbor by dropping off their ballot at a dropbox or election office, I'd be “ballot harvesting” according to RNC and Administration.)
2. No "Naked Ballots" will be allowed; ballots that arrive without a separate “secrecy envelope” inside the mailing envelope.
9-16-2020 update: The Philadelphia Inquirer headline on pg B8 today--"Mailed Votes Can't be Tossed Over Signature" per new guidance from the Pennsylvania Department of State.
The next two links repeat what is also available in LWV's vote411.org. But I'll include them anyway.
https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/
To see if you are registered.
https://www.vote.org/absentee-ballot/
To get your absentee ballot.
Rules and adjustments are changing fast, as never before. I hope these links help you vote your conscience.
What Can You Do?
Since door-to-door campaigning is out this election some of us are preparing letters to help get out the vote. Here are two links friends have shared...and
Sierra Club Independent Action.org
Let us work hard and find our way to attain and sustain Peace through justice, fairness, and wise action.
