With the numerous Ridin' with Biden caravans that have taken place over the past few months, a great big THANK YOU is extended to Mimi Parker and her team who made this happen, plotting routes, filling "goodie bags", and lining up the automobiles. They include Karen Tait, Bob Hellermann, Sam McIlrath, Lisa and Mort Katz, David Richards, Elizabeth Bryla, and Andrew Raulerson. Participating vehicles have numbered from about 25 up to 70 on the different Saturdays.
Our drivers are encouraged to continue to decorate their automobiles, form their own caravans, and let everyone know that there are Democrats in St. Johns County! If you visit the Early Voting locations, remember, no politics within 150 Ft of the polling machines.

As Virus Numbers
Start Rising Again!
By Lance Carden
In the Battle of the Virus,
Covid v. Fauci,
the President’s deciding
with obvious dread:
“Dr. Fauci is losing,
a worrisome trend;
so, I’m joining with Covid,
Mr. Covid, instead.
Dr. Fauci is losing--
so, off with his head!
“Let’s everyone get sick
& then jump into bed;
it’s better for businesses,
& I’ll win in the end.
So, I’m joining with Covid
to immune the whole herd;
all the others are suckers,
or losers, instead.
Dr. Fauci is losing--
so, off with his head!”
