Thank you for speaking out. Some people think you shouldn’t mix the spiritual with politics, but it’s all mixed anyway. It’s all life. Thanks for speaking the Truth.

Brave and encouraging words and Thank You for using your voice and platform to speak out in favor of sanity. I'm living in PA and working for the Dems & in need of encouragement. In the "ground game" as they call it. Moved from the North Bay a little over two years ago and gawd is it different here. I am deeply grateful for what you have said and are saying. Randi, from Alameda and Guerneville.

Be encouraged. Philadelphia is the "birthplace of freedom". Its not just a slogan for the tourists. Its a constant reminder and its a powerful reminder. Maybe one way to find encouragement is take a stroll around the city. Start with Independence Hall then the Franklin Institute ( and sit beneath the giant statue of Ben Franklin. Tour the Consitution Center. Walk down Alfreds Alley. Visit Besty Ross's house. Buy the souvineers. Pick up the pamphlets. Click the mud off of your buckled boots. Wave to the people who are enjoying the principles of democracy. Rest in the hope of expanding rights. Sip on a coffee and know that this is the reality ...this is the thing that keeps us united and we cannot quit or throw it away now. This is not an option now. Work hard in your "ground game" because you are responsible for keeping this thing moving forward. We all are responsible for keeping democracy moving forward. All of us. Thanks for all you do. Gratitude is not always a given but this form of government is not hinged on abstract principles...its hinged on everyone exercising their rights. Thank you and Be well. Stay strong !

Thank you. I must add: Please be completely clear, everyone...Trump is effectively a misdirection/decoy at this juncture. A far greater potential catastrophe is evermore likely—President Vance.

You are so right. Vance is waiting in the wings to 25th amendment Trump away and take over. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is very likely to happen if Trump is elected.

That is the terrifying truth.

That has definitely crossed my mind as well. This is the stuff nightmares are made of.

Thank you for that information. Yes, how quickly people forget the attack on Muslims in this country by the then President. Kamala's chart is lit up with positive aspects. And it's interesting to look at the charts for the DNC and RNC on election day. I was fascinated to see the DNC has a Moon Uranus conjunction in Aquarius in the 6th house and on election day, rx Jupiter in Gemini is going back to trine this again. I think it was hard at the beginning to know who she was but she has certainly done all she can to show this now.

Rob, you've always spoken truth and have enlightened and informed your readers to help us live our best and healthy selves. I totally agree with you regarding V.P. Kamala Harris, and I will vote for her also. I will not soil this response by addressing the innumerable faults and crimes of Herr Trump, a wanna be dictator!

I send deep thanks and appreciation to you for all your newsletters, but especially for these recent ones where you explain the dire circumstances we are in if this election falls to DT. I do think Kamala Harris will win easily, but these next two weeks are going to be stressful. Plus, the personal resources you offer are deeply appreciated, so keep doing what you’re doing; it is essential and it is much needed.

Wow! Thanks for setting the record straight, Rob! One of the things that makes America great is that we are a melting pot. Honestly, we don't have to have someone to kick around to be happy.

Thank you. You have again touched many issues that seem obvious but are not spoken about nearly enough. I never thought I would be doing voter registration drives, but here we are. "Your vote is not a valentine" addresses many of the excuses people give for either not voting or voting against Kamala Harris.

Chess moves instead of whack-a-mole. YES!
