'Silence is consent' - my effort to wake the sleeping to speak up for the oppressed. My thanks and admiration for those tirelessly advocating comforting and dissenting for those trying to turn the tide. My tears for the pain of the detained and my country, disrespected, burning. Forgive me, precious, unique people unjustly imprisoned, abused children the scorned unborn, for not doing more. Here I offer you my love and respect and prayers for hope and healing.
