Today is December 7th. On 12/7/41, We were attacked. If not for our brave, courageous men and women of our American Military, Democracy would have died then. On 1/20/25, an incompetent "Wanna be" dictator will sell our Democracy for ego and greed. Don't. Let. Him.

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition
