We r in our 80’s; we us a cane and a walker .

As college students in Alabama in the 1960s, we marched behind King in Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery.

We r ready to shut it down.

But we need a LEADER. There is no MLK today.

The Chinese have an adage: “When there are no great tigers deep in the mountains , a monkey can become king.”

We Democrats have not produced a great tiger so the Republicans have foisted on us a monkey.
