Adam, I’m so glad you got to spend time with your family in Illinois. It’s so precious and special to forge that bond between grandparents and grandchildren. I pray that Americans are watching and care what is going on. My heart breaks for the Ukrainian people who have fought so valiantly to preserve their freedom and the very existence of their country. They deserve our help. Secondly, the dysfunction of our government is appalling and reprehensible. The GOP is a big fat joke only I’m not laughing but the rest of the world is. We must vote for only reasonable Republicans who want no part of trumpism and Democrats into office. Only then can we begin to sensibly govern and return to bipartisanship and compromise to the betterment of our citizens. Keep up the writing. You’re one of the few guiding lights and we need you.
Joan, I wish I could have reposted your comment. I looked to do it, but could not find a repost. I guess cause it was just a comment. Again, it was a great one and I wish so many people could have read it!!
C1? The primary is tomorrow. I am posting for my friends on Facebook that I am endorsing and voting for Phil Hienlich in the Ohio 2nd District Republican ballot!
If it is to be... It is up to me... (And all of us). My new mantra. We've lost the congress, SCOTUS and key parts of the judiciary to a level of corruption our system was never designed to handle. I don't believe any democracy can handle what's going on in america these days. We, the people, are the only hope and November 5 is our last chance to save America.
Democracy is like a car. If you give the keys to a good driver, they will last a long time. If you give the key to a bad driver, it is going to be a total wreck soon. November 5 decides who drives. Oh, by the way, did I forget to mention there are 330 million passengers in the car? DUMP TRUMP
AMEN... We must ensure that any candidate who offers NO policy to improve our country and ONLY demonizes anyone who doesn't 100% agree with them, who uses words like "Bloodbath", "You gotta fight like hell", etc. and who supports insurrectionists, LOSES in their bid to be elected BY A LANDSLIDE! That's the only chance we have to shut down the "poor victim's" likely claims of "rigged" or "stolen" election. It's up to us, the voters, to provide that landslide defeat to Trump and all of his acolytes.
I live in ND and I tend to be more Independent but I voted for Obama! Met him personally twice. A nice smart man. The two people that I wish would run for President are you or Obama again! I was born in Chicago and raised in a suburb but have lived in ND for a long time.Long story how I got here. I really like how you think and again wish you were running. My family growing up were Democrats and that was ages ago. But I am Independent. Anyway I wish you well and keep up the interesting comments that you write!😊 I look forward to them!
Lynne, living in North Dakota, Ukraine, should be important to you because Putin will not stop there if he wins; NATO is next. If Trump is president, Putin is likely to use his control over Trump to surprise him with a first strike, and since North Dakota has both bombers and ICBMs, North Dakota would be long gone, but North Dakota loves Trump. Why? Obama cannot run again. He is term-limited by the 22nd Amendment, but Adam can run.
While Ukraine is fighting for its freedom ,its own people dying every day,conditions must be so scary yet they keep on fighting because they know the consequences are far worse&our foolish Republicans use them as canon fodder in their own selfish little skirmishes to bellittle the Pres.&push forward their ridiculous inquiries. Time to get down to the business of the American people & our position of power in the world, very important.
Enjoyed this read, Adam. The best was the picture of Christian! ❤️ Happy to hear that Christian loves his grandparents visits, family is of the utmost importance.
Adam, I will be praying 🙏 this week for Ukraine funding and Phil Heimlich's Ohio election win.
One of my other prayers was answered that you and your family had a nice weekend together!! Christian is SO adorable! I'm sorry you had to move away from the rest of your family for safety.
Wondering if anyone else thinks trump said another quiet part out loud about there being "bloodshed" if he doesn't win the November election? I heard a conservative say that it was just about the auto industry but we all know it's his "code" for inciting his "army".
I heard him say bloodletting - first about the economy, which is nuts since 3.5 years under Biden, it is healthy and has grown in multiples higher than under trump, and second, just solo. How can we support law enforcement to deal with it when congress is reducing FBI and other budgets?
I really like you Adam. You have a way of speaking/writing that is so sincere, frank, honest, and uplifting. Too bad we let this whole authoritarian thing get so out of control. I would vote for you in a heartbeat. Hopefully we get through 2024 with democracy intact and maybe even stronger!
Thank you for keeping us up to date on all that’s going on!!II love ❤️ the picture!!I hope and pray that the Ukraine 🇺🇦 gets the help they need and that Ohio gets an anti Trumpie in office!!
Adam, thanks for the update. There is so much going on and to have some of it put into some kind of order is very helpful.
I'm wondering why the House is set up that ONE MAN can stop the possibility of legislation to even have a chance to be heard OR debated on the floor? Seems wrong somehow. I'm so disappointed. The US us showing itself to be untrustworthy and frankly a bunch of whining wienies. I was thinking that as I watched a video of a woman, in Russia, pouring green dye into the ballot box. Ukrainians, in occupied areas, were taken to the polls at gun point and told to vote. Ukraine MUST be funded.
On a happier note. So glad you could be with family and lovely for Christian to be able to be with his grandparents. I have such wonderful memories of times with my grandparents. Just priceless.
My youngest grand nephew is very close to Christian's age and I'm going to get to meet him and his older brother, who I haven't seen since his first birthday, over Easter. I'm really excited. I wish we lived closer to each other. I'm looking forward to that weekend and the opportunity to tune all this out for a couple of days. Truthfully, it's never totally out of my head.
As the sun rises on Easter morning, we see the hope of renewal and rebirth. Bask in that light and pray and work toward better days.

My question: can C1 help in this effort? Can we get a list of primary voters and arrange group outreach to them?
Adam endorsed and interviewed Heimlich in a recent Country 1st fireside chat. Heimlich provided a web address where people could donate to his campaign. You could try that. I tried to donate but noticed that his donations were managed by "winred.com" so I didn't donate. While I think that this site manages donations for Republican candidates in general, I am getting multiple daily texts from them for Trump, Scalise, Johnson and many of his acolytes so I bailed b4 inadvertently providing them with any further information on me. I don't know how they got my phone number in the first place. I consistently report and block these texts and their associated phone numbers but they keep coming in with a different number. I'm thinking about changing my phone number because of this. (I guess I wandered off into the "weeds" ... Sorry).
Your son is adorable. He looks just like his dad!!!
Ha thanks!!

Loved your comment. I will repost if possible!

Sooo true
I am in Ohio’s 2nd district and I will be voting for Phil Heinrich! And my wife also! Keep the faith! Trash the rest!
How can C1 help reach out to other voters in your district? Let’s not hope, let’s take action.

You look just like your cute son!
Agree with Sheila. The apple fell right under the tree.
Thanks for today's political insights. Always fascinating.
You bet

Congress will remain dysfunctional until we elect a new one. We have a chance to do that in November. Please.

It's scary because at least 30% of Americans buy his rhetoric and Congress is doing his bidding!
Yep, mafia speak.
Adam your son is your mini me!!!
He is so precious!
Thank you for sharing your family photos with us!
I really like you Adam. You have a way of speaking/writing that is so sincere, frank, honest, and uplifting. Too bad we let this whole authoritarian thing get so out of control. I would vote for you in a heartbeat. Hopefully we get through 2024 with democracy intact and maybe even stronger!
