Dear @POTUS @JoeBiden @WhiteHouse,
1/ I've been an admirer since the 1980s when I would've identified as @GOP. Joe Biden always seemed like one of our smartest and most decent public servants. You were my 1st choice in 2008 & I was very happy when you were chosen as VP.

2/ Obv I supported you in 2020 & was able to help advance that campaign in small ways. Having a good person for the nominee was a happy bonus. But overall it was a crisis that called all-hands-on-deck. I would've helped anybody.
That crisis still is here. It hasn't gone away.

3/ Now as we near the halfway mark of the #BidenAdministration & #Midterms2022 the crisis actually has worsened. Things have gotten worse, not better in #Biden years. Now is an urgent, maybe last chance to muster the nation to meet the crisis.
I'm worried you're not doing that.

Hogsett says first step toward reopening Indy won't go as far as the statewide first step which began on Monday in 88 counties.
Friday: mass gatherings in Indy of up to 25 people (up from 10), as state has done. But unlike state order, religious services remain subject to cap.
