It's hard to believe A MILLION SIGNATURES were achieved after years on social media asking people to "share and sign it". If you've recently joined the demand you maybe unaware that the demanding I am making for "nation wide action" is a demand which was made long before ERIC GARNER, MICHAEL BROWN, TAMIR RICE AND SANDRA BLAND were murdered. It is a demand that's seen "surges" and near complete "halts" depending upon what tragedy was being highlighted in the media. So here we are again with the murder of GEORGE FLOYD whose murder "seen on video" brought people out in droves all declaring that "enough is enough". I reached the point of "enough" long, long ago and have had  to wait until all others came to the same conclusion: that nation wide action is needed against it all. Now I must wait til people feel the need to "support it" and donate despite my habitually asking.

I want you to know I'm here for "the long haul" because the need shall NEVER change, until in fact "change" has occurred, which benefits us all.  I see no need or basis to continually insist in a need that is apparent for the work that must be done because no MOVEMENT can exist without the "backing and support" that is needed. BLACK LIVES MATTER and all others have that support, whereas we don't. So you "see and hear them" out in the forefront of this fight with people of all races carrying their signs and slogan. The fight that I am waging, is not about "a sign and a slogan" but CORRECTING A WRONG that has existed in this country for far too long. And to have witnessed the multitudes from around the world champion a demand for justice, yet "simmer down" in lieu of reforms being offered, when JUSTICE is the demand of every family hurt and grieving, is a fight "aborted" before it ever truly began. I make no argument for reforms, though reform is needed. The reforms I seek come by way of JUSTICE and not the other way around. Because we have seen reforms but not justice! And to be led into asking for what has not worked, or have it offered and accepted "absent justice" is trickery at it's finest! And the only magic I'm interest in, is making murders of the unarmed by police "disappear".
