He informed me not to associate with DU on my website anonymously, and he attacked me on the Arizona LD4 Democrats Facebook page before his post was deleted and he was banned.

In his attack, he questioned my judgement and called this website a place for "leftist losers."

On my website he mention people here who lost their jobs due to being on this site, and two posters by their screen names.

First, they ignore you. Then, they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

Freedom of speech,
freedom to vote,
freedom to practice or not to practice religion,
freedom to criticize,
freedom to protest things that you do criticize,
freedom to change the government on election day,
freedom to read news that is no censored or filtered by government,
freedom to do on the internet things that are not illegal and not worry about a governmental firewall stopping you,
freedom to choose your life and what you want to do with it,
freedom of economic mobility,
freedom to be who you are which laws forcing you into the closest
freedom of due process of law if accused of a crime

I've lived in countries where some, if not all, of these freedoms are pipe dreams. Malaysia has a national religion (Islam), as does Thailand (Buddhism). To criticize or question them can land you in prison.

South Korea has a been moving in the right direction, but since Lee Myung Bak (who Koreans I knew living there called Lee Myung Bush), the country has been tilting towards making Christianity a state religion.

I will not go into China, since we know none of those freedoms exist there and few people I know there (including my wife) don't see the problem. Judaism isn't one of the six recognized religions, so if I when to the Chabad House in Shanghai, my wife would be forbidden to enter because she doesn't have a foreign passport.

As I reflect on the freedoms I gave up living overseas, I come to realize that while we do have our flaws and problems (as all countries do), I do love my country and what it is supposed to be and stand for internationally. I expect some arguments which I accept, but I truly believe in my heart that we are that example, willing to expose our dirty laundry to the entire world, show our faults and our strengths, and always work to overcome them.

Those we remember on Memorial Day embody that. Those we look to for defense and protection (no, not you police agencies) are truly the ones who are the best among us. We owe them everything and they should be given everything we, as a people, can give because of what they are willing to give up: Their lives.

This Memorial Day, I ask all Americans, to truly dedicate it to those who have served, alive or dead. My brother served for years and lost friends in wars overseas. One of my good friends visited the grave of his son who contracted cancer while on deployment and died fourteen years ago just two months after his 22nd birthday.

These are the true role models. The 58,000 names on the Vietnam War Memorial. The 351,000 lost being the original ANTIFA and fighting Hitler, Mussolini, and Imperial Japan. The 21,000 in Korea. Iraq01. Afghanistan. Iraq02.

We are at our best when those that served and lived are taken care off completely. . .and those that fought and died are honored completely.

Have a great Memorial Day wherever you all live. Thank an active duty GI. Thank a veteran. Remember those who never came home.

Even Gabby Giffords' synagogue here in Tucson was vandalized. I'm Jewish and my wife is Chinese. We both are now under immense threat here.

Thank you, DU, for all the help so far. Words cannot express my gratitude, even to those who have argued with me over a few points on my platform.

This insanity also put Kansas into bankruptcy! Flat taxes ATTACK the poorest of Arizonans.

I don't need to go into the math here on DU, but how anyone can support this is beyond me?

We need a tax overhaul to get Arizona off its addiction to consumption taxes, and this is not it!

I will have it setup in, as they say, three business days.

I am asking all Arizonans on DU for their help and their support, on here, in fundraising, and in campaigning, to help me unseat Joel John in the AZ House. LD4 is 56% Democratic and a large number of voters in LD4 are in Yuma and Maricopa Counties.

As soon as I have the precinct level results from the Yuma and Maricopa County Recorders Offices, I will focus my campaign more.

I also ask that if anyone here has questions about me as a person or my positions/platform, please go to my website at www.katzforhouse.org or ask me in thread or in PM.

Let's flip Arizona's House to Blue by putting in an AOC style Democrat in LD4. Just as an aside, if I still lived in New York were I was born, I'd be in her district. If I lived where I grew up, I'd be in Antonio Delgado's district, two amazing Democrats I admire greatly.
