Thanks for the shout out, Albert, and your family history lesson, too. So few nationally today know how deep are the Spanish/Mexican family roots in Silicon Valley.

FWIW: Lots in your family can qualify to join the Sons of- and Daughters of the Revolution organizations established right after the US Civil War in an attempt to rekindle the Spirit of 1776. Eligible thanks thanks to the Spanish king during our Revolutionary War asking all his subjects in Nueva España to donate one peso to the cause of human liberty. Little known factoid: many who march in July 4 parades dressed in 1776 clothes are members of those two benevolent organizations. The 250th anniversary of 1776 is in 2026. We need a lot more marchers to represent Old Mexico and Old California in those parades. ;)

Do it to set a good example for your daughter, to protect your daughter, family, and ones you love, even strangers ... for God to be proud of you. Nothing can really be forced, but doing it for these reasons are the best reasons of all, and likely things will naturally fall into place with time and reflection.

Completely respect the dedication and fortitude by you and other substackers that work without end. Techniques, approaches, and opinions may be different, but the cause is good.

What a blessing to know your rich, personal history. This was an interesting and enlightening read!

I do appreciate your work; I heard you on a podcast, (maybe one of your first?) nearly 3 years ago and I am grateful for having listened, as you confirmed what I’d been hearing from Jessica Rose about the VAERS system around the same time.

I was numb with shock back then but I am so grateful to have been awakened early on thanks to courageous individuals’ work such as yours. 💖 Love, Sandra
