I agree! I find myself getting more active as I get older too. I like that term "squeaky". Lol.

I think many decades of complacency (of the average citizen) is one of the biggest reasons we're in the mess we are as a country. To be fair, there was also an awful lot of trickery from the powers that be involved as well.

Good luck in your fight, my friend. It's such a rare thing that someone tries to hold them accountable, those elected officials probably don't quite know how to react to the situation.
