Remember - it took a long time to defeat Hitler
but he was defeated.

"We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed." - MLK

MLK also knew that evil is not defeated over night.

2. Let's hope it does not take anywhere near as long or as many lives
as it took to defeat Hitler.

5. Winston Churchill - "We shall never surrender"
From Churchill's speech, "We shall fight them on the beaches..."

We shall go on to the end,
We shall fight in France,
We shall fight on the seas and oceans,
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air,
We shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,

We shall fight on the beaches,
We shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
We shall fight in the hills;
We shall never surrender

6. Dig deep and learn how to not react to every single thing. Take
a few steps back and look at the big picture. We will purposely be exhausted by one WH attack on democracy & American way of life after another. So we need to conserve energy.

Perhaps only take on a few issues each week instead of 20? We need to save our strength for the elections to come. As long as that is not completely tapped out in 15 monts... we are fine.
