The Need for Real Leadership and Not Petty Politics

Trump signs historic $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill - Axios
This Picture Says it ALL!

At a time when we need to come together and support each other across all lines of division we have 46-1 excluding the leaders of both parties. The bipartisan bill wouldn't have been as inclusive as it needed to be if the two sides hadn't worked together.  They worked together and in the end we had a much better bill than we had in the beginning.  The leaders of the House and Senate proved they could work together, that is leadership.  What we see in this picture, the exclusion of an entire party, an absence of diversity led by a  narcissist taking credit for what he did not create.  I respect leaders on both sides of the political spectrum.  What we have here isn't about republican or democrat but rather utter madness.  This madness has cost and will cost thousands of lives because of the lack of leaders standing up to the madness.  This is real and the consequences are real.  Lives are being lost daily because of a lack of leadership on the national, state and local levels. Leaders are called to level-up and lead. We need you, we elected you, and we know it is in you. It is time to support the most vulnerable in real tangible ways so that they can stay at home just like white collar workers and still get paid.  Those who are living on the streets must be taken care of and not forgotten. This can't be a white collar stay at home / quarantine. All people need to be able to be safe and taken care of and for this to happen leaders need to shut it down, stop playing politics with peoples lives and make sure that all are secure financially and with health and safety.  This thing can be beat, but if our leaders continue to play politics more blood will be on their hands. We have to call our leaders and support them as they stand for justice. Write, call, email, post, make videos, scream from your windows, "We are tired of this madness and we are not going to take it anymore!" Call on our leaders to standup, speak-up, put up and tell madness to shut-up!
