My Truman Days speech to D's in red Butler Cty, MO:
* Go on the offensive.
* Their state Rep is a bigot. Call him out..
* How pro-choice activists mousetrapped Gov. Parson. Do more of that.
* How Obamacare cut abortions. Hint: contraception. Spread that news.
* GOP extremists are propped up by the Three R's: the Rich, the Racist, & the Religious.
* Rural GOP candidates hijacked Christianity the same way the Taliban hijacked Islam. They're not Christians. They're extremist hypocrites.

The Mayor, black clergy, & everyone else begging the MO GOP for help in fighting StL's gun violence epidemic are being played for fools. MO's Republican supermajority always negotiates in bad faith. To them, problem is black people, not guns. My latest for metrostl.com
