We need to be in the streets constantly. Somewhere in America there should be at least one major demonstration of our displeasure with the fascists every single day! No more planning marches a month or two in advance and giving them time to plan and execute counter measures like the one on 10-18!

This morning 2 men dressed in brown clothes, no insignias knocked on our door. They also had black bullet proof vests with POLICE across.

They very pleasantly said they were not there because we had done something wrong. They just wanted to speak to my husband Jim.

My granddaughter, 11, was inside and very afraid.

I told her not to worry, we had done nothing wrong.

I, too, was pleasant and I told the POLICE that they were not allowed to come in our house. They said there was no need, that they understood.

Jim went out. He was advised they came because he had written a postcard to the CFO of FL that said “ You Lack Values”. No return address, just his signature .

Jim said the POLICE told him that he had done nothing wrong, but they were told to come see him regardless.

Jim, of course, acquiescenced nothing.

When I left our house to drive 11 year old to school, down the street, away from our house, were 2 black unmarked broncos with 2 other agents.

My 16 year old granddaughter is afraid, as well.

This is so wrong.

Why would these men even come to our house?

We don’t own a gun. We have children. My husband is a combat veteran.

These actions of POLICE coming to a common citizen’s home follows the theme being followed by the federal leadership and state leadership to threaten and intimidate people who disagree with them.

This is not okay.

Please do not allow unconstitutional tactics in our city or our neighborhood.

Please stand with us, as we would you.

We live in Pinellas. This is the tip of the iceberg.

I had the presence to take their pictures while they talked to Jim. I knew not to let them in for any reason. At the time, it seemed non sensical. Now it seems scary. I sent message to mayor, chief of police and media. So far, the police seem to be taking it seriously.

90 % what King Trump is doing is unconstitutional, why does Congress and the Judges allow this?

We have to make them aware that we are more then them.

Go to The National Conversation or watch it on the internet on different channels, just Google the name.
