Feb 1, 2025- My mom is 95. She and her family escaped from Germany in late 1938, just before Hitler stopped Jews from leaving.

She's very upset that Trump fired those FBI agents. Hitler did that during his rise to power, getting rid of good people while intimidating others from prosecuting his lackeys in the future. Plus, Trump freed the people who stormed the capitol, emboldening his terrorist allies.

PeopleCount.org is a project to address the root cause of America's political problems, which involves what was missing from America's design.

Free and fair elections were never enough to make politicians accountable to voters. Today, with the web (and a little support), we can have the communication necessary for real accountability.

Being accountable to voters means not being accountable to the wealthy or the parties. It even makes this possible.

Aug 28, 2024: Trump must be SEVERELY punished for again violating the law to help his political campaign.

A federal law says: "Memorial services and ceremonies at Army national military cemeteries will not include partisan political activities."

On August 26th, Trump staged and filmed a campaign video at the Arlington National Cemetery in section 60, where fallen servicemen from Iraq and Afghanistan are buried, despite objections from a cemetery employee.
