Praying is admirable, I'm still going to encourage you to take action when you have time, be it in the form of volunteering virtually like many do or just other forms of advocacy.

I'm doing that too, specifically trying to get people to register or read their Bibles. Either one should get this country back to democracy.

I'm doing the best I can without being able to vote myself, at least. It's a desperate situation that demands that.

So if parson loses re-election in Missouri, Galloway shouldn’t be able to nominate anyone or get anything done? The voters should be punished by the legislature?
