Unfortunately, Bacon is too "normal" for today's Republican Party.

I'm of the opinion that if Trump and MAGA are to be stopped it has to happen within the Republican Party. Don Bacon is not the only "normal" one there. It's just that, like in any group, someone needs to lead in order for the rest to act. He has professional leadership training, so could make a real difference.

I just called and left a message at Bacon's Washington office. Thank you, Jerry Weiss, for your efforts on behalf of a functioning democracy. Your articles are interesting, honest, and a valuable contribution in our perilous times.

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Charles. Sometimes it's hard to keep at it, but words like these are more helpful than you could imagine.

As always, Jerry Weiss, so brilliantly analyzed and clearly stated. Thank you for continuing to encourage us to use our voices for change, even during this deeply discouraging time in our nation’s history. I called Bacon’s office today, as you suggested. I also shared this piece with others in my world and recommended that they do so as well.
