By: Marsha Moller In my biased and unaltered opinion, it is my privilege and freedom in this country to assemble at a town hall meet’n.

By: Corey Nathan, Exec. Producer & Host of “Talkin’ Politics & Religion Without Killin’ Each Other” It was less than 5 months ago when violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol with the goal of overturning November’s election.
