Grassroots Political Action Taking Shape in Two Harbors

The Two Harbors Communi­ty Center was filled to capacity last Sunday afternoon as peo­ple gathered for Two Harbors Breakwall Indivisible’s inau­gural event. The Two Harbors group is part of a growing na­tional grassroots movement of citizens who are concerned about threats to civil liberties and to our Constitutional Re­public.

Two Harbors Breakwall Indi­visible’s stated purpose reads, “We are Two Harbors Break­wall, named after the breakwall which protects ore boats and the shore from Superior’s waves. Our nation is also battered by waves, but of Christian nation­alism and fascism. We hope to be a breakwall against the im­pact of both.”

The 140 area residents who attended Sunday’s meeting talked about concerns over the Trump administration’s deliber­ate and poorly conceived efforts to dismantle important govern­ment departments, breach gov­ernment computer systems, cut needed government programs and services and dismantle long standing international allianc­es. These actions will have real world consequences for area residents. The current executive branch’s deliberate abuse of the system of checks and balances is unConstitutional because it circumvents the co-equal con­gressional process.

In the coming weeks and months, Two Harbors Break­wall Indivisible will be helping to facilitate opportunities for in­terested residents to learn more about what’s actually going on in DC and to become involved locally in discussions, peaceful protest activities, community events and more.

My wife, Marsha Kinzer (a proud DEHS Greyhound, class of ‘77) introduced me to the North Shore on vacation in 2012. It became our regular escape when the stress of our careers in education became overwhelming, and it didn’t take me long to fall in love with the breathtaking scenery, the nice people, and “salad” containing Jell-o and marshmallows. So you can either blame or thank my loving wife for my being here, because when we needed to choose a retirement hometown, Marsha advocated hard for her beloved Duluth, and here we are, six months later. Yes, this will be my first northern Minnesota winter. Yes, I welcome thoughts and prayers. Government, public policy, and social justice weighed heavily in the curriculums I taught at the high school level over a thirty-eight year career. In addition, we were a laboratory school focused on critical thinking in conjunction with technical and scientific writing. So when I found myself adrift on the great ocean of retirement and spied a raft, I jumped at the chance to take up what I’d left behind…minus the bad teachers’ lounge coffee. My position at the NSJ allows me to combine my passions for government and writing, and it’s helping me to feel less out of touch in new surroundings. When I’m not being “Cubby” (Marsha’s favorite new nickname for this green reporter) I enjoy pointing at eagles and saying, “Look, honey. There’s an eagle.” I’ve had an active side hustle as a professional musician for almost as many years as Charlie Parr. As a guitarist/singer/songwriter, I graced the stages of clubs and festivals around southern Wisconsin, including an appearance on A Prairie Home Companion. Should I even mention A Prairie Home Companion, or am I the only one here old enough to remember what that is? Look! An eagle!
