via http://ift.tt/2jDH10c:buttons-beads-lace replied to your post “Thanks for posting a photo of the political postcard you wrote! It…”

that is so incredibly appropriate that I kind of want to do this too. (I mean, minus the silkscreening and/or letterpress. I still have some nice calligraphy markers though…)

I actually had seen it somewhere else minus that last paragraph, but I think the ending bit is the most meaningful of all of it. Holy shit. Where will you leave your riches?? 

I’m gonna post it in here again because it’s just that intense. And yeah, I don’t know if i’ll letterpress or calligraph or silkscreen it or what, but it needs to be done up too pretty to ignore, and put fucking everywhere.

I did have a bonehead on FB say “either administration would have been terrible” and it’s some wacko I’ve been tolerating for years, and I just straight-up told him he was either a troll or a moron and I was not having any of it, he could fuck right off with his false equivalencies. I have hit The End of my ability to endure mediocre dudes. 

Isaiah 10 New International Version (NIV)

10 Woe to those who make unjust laws,
   to those who issue oppressive decrees,2 to deprive the poor of their rights
   and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
   and robbing the fatherless.3 What will you do on the day of reckoning,
   when disaster comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?
   Where will you leave your riches?4 Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives
   or fall among the slain.

Apparently I had a brain fart when I first read this post, because I thought you'd asked me *who* I would send them to, and I guess you didn't, but I already half wrote this so I'm gonna tell you about who I want to send them to anyway.

My current reps, where I live now, are not just Democrats but pretty outspokenly anti-Trump. But! my "home state," so to speak, Wisconsin, is about 60% really nasty Republicans right now. So I think I'll send some to Wisconsin's Republican senator and house reps, and to the governor Scott Walker. Even my dad, who is/was a Republican for a long time, hates Walker because Walker apparently hates public schools and universities and has done his best to fuck them over.

And maybe I'll send something positive to Tammy Baldwin (the other senator for Wisconsin, a Democrat and I think the first openly gay senator!!!!!) and to the house rep for the district I grew up in, who is a slightly less liberal Democrat but still a decent person.

Plus the header image on his website is of a (lovely, bucolic, quintessentially Wisconsin-y) dairy farm that I swear I've seen before. If I'm right, it's visible from a highway near where I grew up and I used to drive past it on a regular basis. That was a pleasant surprise when I looked up his address just now.
