    We like to think of her as our voice of reason up here in Maine. We all have been graced with her clarity of vision and her recollection of the past. She places puzzle pieces in a series that lends enlightenment that we might never have been able to see.

      Me too. Have learnt so much from her about US history and politics.
      She has so much insight in to the reasons that the US finds itself in this awful divided position it is today.
      The country has always survived Republican and Democrat governments before, without tearing itself to bits.
      But Trump is an aberration. His lies and hatred has literally torn families and the country apart.
      It will be a disaster if he is reelected.
      Love and hope from Australia 💙💙💙

      Thank you, Heather. I very much feel like you in your description of being a Lincoln Republican and a conservative. I realized when Reagan was president that I really didn't believe in what the Republicans stood for, after trickle down tax cuts and the firing of striking air traffic controllers, among other things. I also didn't quite fit as a Democrat.

    I always get something new when I read the writings of, or listen to interviews with Dr. Richardson. She frequently confirms what I've seen through the years, and echos so many of my own concerns. I sometimes feel people aren't seeing it, because they seem blithely unconcerned. This troubles me deeply. Thank you for interviewing her, and for the great questions! We need more of the public to be exposed to the troubles we are experiencing, and she's one of the very best when it comes to enlightening all of us about the dangerousness of this moment in time.

But her discourse on the march to trumpism was absolutely mesmerizing!

    If only American politicians could do what HCR promises to do (and what George Washington did prior): acknowledge that they are here to serve, and that once they have served to the best of their abilities, they will step down.

And yet, Ms. RIchardson fails to mention this nor the desire of the Harris herself to censor speech. Might want to listen to JKF jr. explain this aspect.

And no, she is neither of the present-day Republican or Democrat, but of a politic that would usher this country towards the ideals of the wise, compassionate but pragmatic leaders that helped shape the US to be the best in the world.

    speech about conservatism written by heather for kamala: i want to conserve the right to vote for all people. i want to conserve the belief that all people are equal under law. i want to conserve the ability of people to have voice in their government. i want to conserve the promise of our founding that we the people can form a more perfect union.
