I have been a lurker (aye a Democrat) on Daily Kos for some time now, and am practicing on my first blog for the site.
Just this week FBI director Comey announced to the public that the agency has been investigating members of the Trump campaign: Paul Manafort, Carter Page, and unofficially Roger Stone, amongst others I am certain.
This is the news I have been waiting for. After all the sniping done to both the CIA and FBI by the POTUS, it seemed likely that these organizations would be more than happy to dig deep into potential threats to our country despite their natural political affiliation.
All this lurking seemed to do for me is to make me more and more worried about the world that was awaiting my children. I became committed to fight this threat by being more informed, and acting upon any issue I could — within reason by writing or calling congressmen and women, or senators, even if I was not their constituent. It seemed like forever before any fruit came of all of our efforts.
Finally, I am beginning to see some light in this dreadful tunnel. Democracy, the first amendment, and common sense seem to be getting some traction thanks to the work of all my brethren here on Daily Kos! Thank you.
