…I’m excited about the 1 trillion tree campaign! Just remember, it’s not enough to plant the trees, we have to take care of them, too. …According to World Resources Institute it will take the US $4 billion a year to finish the campaign within 20 years. It’s great that you took the first step in that effort yesterday….

…The media provides stories about how to entertain yourself and how to fill the hours, leaving us with the sense that leisure-time is ample. Well it’s not…..Since it’s hard, we need your encouragement. We need you to start repeating some kind of catchy phrase so we can embrace our confinement. LIBERATE is not it….
…Please be mindful of the fact that 66% of Americans are worried about lifting restrictions too quickly. While you may be happy to see some folks waving their Trump flags and wearing their MAGA hats, their message does not promote the common good or the the general welfare.

…I’m so disappointed that you tweeted about “liberating” VA, MI & MN while mentioning the 2nd Amendment. That is SO ill advised. … it was quite concerning to see 2 guys with AR-15s and bullet proof vests talking about militias. Those guys are itching for a fight & you just gave them license to unleash their pent-up anger with the world. …
It was kind of MI State House 9th District Rep, Karen Whitsett (KW) to come to the WH to thank you for suggesting HDQ. It’s great that she and the other 4 CV survivors could sit in the cabinet room with you and share their stories. … I hope they were all indeed virus-free so you don’t get sick….

He likened it to someone coming along and paying off your mortgage for you. That would be nice, but if someone is going to come along and pay my debts, then won’t I just keep accruing them? …
….We are so lucky that Post Master General agreed to postpone her Jan 2020 retirement so that the USPS Board of Governors find the right person to take her place. The 635,000 USPS workers are ESSENTIAL! 19 have died from CV & those who are operating the desks at our POs are putting their lives on the line every day. So please, on this day of resurrection, consider resurrecting our beloved USPS.
I am trying to plan a week’s worth of meals in advance and am making a list….I suggest that you do the same with the next stimulus package that’s in the works. Here are the items I am enthused about…1. $ to states for new voting processes so folks don’t have to choose between casting a ballot and their health. Wisconsin’s vote on Tuesday was a travesty. Please do what you can to prevent that from happening again….
