Watch out! Here Goes The Unraveling


The GOP wants to release a memo written by the GOP and the FBI has asked that they not release the memo.  But Trump is dying to release it because it was written by his people.  The issue is apparently Carter Page.



In my mind he problem with this little game that the GOP is playing is that they can release their memo and tell the Democrats they can't release their memo but while they do it---there are plenty of Dem senators who have non classified info they can release.  And low and behold--guess who stepped up today?  Oregon's senator, Ron Wyden.  Once you start pulling on this thread, Trump-ettes, you may be surprised how you will quickly be left with no sweater.


  

Twitter: Follow Ozark Indivisible



All of us who are persistently protecting our people, our land our nation must support our fellow persisters especially those who are in states where their leaders are defending DJT beyond the pale.   Case in point, Senator Tom Cotton in Arkansas.   "I did not hear the president say shit hole."   Bold face lies.

Tom Cotton hates immigration reform and is so blinded by his hate that he will defend DJT at all costs.  

Right now go find Ozark Indivisible and follow them on twitter as they fight the good fight.  


Do. It. Now.  

Pay Attention! Chuck Grassley's Town Hall --Not So Friendly


This is Senator Chuck Grassley and he is at an informal town hall in a small corner in Iowa.  Chuck, like all the other GOP representatives, does not have town halls often and he has really slowed it down since DJT went into office.   Chuck is on the intelligent committee and he has been protecting GOP and trying to defang the investigation.  Dianne Feinstein who has always worked well with Grassley has been reported barely able to even talk to him.   She is disgusted.    And you saw her release a The Fusion testimony.

While Chuck has been hiding from Iowans,  Iowans have been watching --everything.    So on Friday January 12, a couple days after Feinstein released the testimony, Chuck went to a super warm and cozy spot in Iowa for his little town hall.  A place where he figured he wouldn't get much blow back.   And what happened?

People were pissed.  They were polite but they were pissed. This is not Indivisble activists this is just regular Iowans--

Take a look and you will see that people are paying attention.

There is a tide.

Why Am I helping Candidates in Other States?

So you want to know why Democrats are asking you to donate to races in other states?

This. Is. Your. Answer.




We are combating Koch Family.
We are better than Koch.
We protect more people Koch protects Koch.
We care more about our country than Koch.
We are NOT in it for the M O N E Y.  That's Koch.

We will donate our money for the good of our nation and the world.

Let's Go In Tight On One Of These Races: Pennsylvania District 18



This district was held by  GOP Tim Murphy, who had to resign in disgrace over an affair with a staffer.
It is a gerrymandered district in Pittsburgh and Murphy had been able to run unopposed in some elections.  His district includes Mt Lebanon, Conor Lamb, a 33yr old Democrat who grew up in Mt Lebanon is running for the seat.  He’s 33 yrs old and has a resume that should appeal to voters in the district.
A Republican PAC just committed $1.5 million to defeat him.

They’ve already started the “He’s just another of Nancy Pelosi’s stooges.” The same tired playback. 




I donated to his campaign this week.  
Kick in a few dollars.  And consider doing postcards.   Reach out to the campaign they will tell you how to do it.  Or go to TonyTheDemocrat. 



Fight on!  

Special Elections From Now Until June


Do you know there are over 30 local special elections between now and June?

These are state elections which are CRITICAL to our future.   Remember state houses draft the districts for congress and we must must flip districts blue to push back on all the gerrymandering.  Plus we need to flip state houses to flip states.

Here's the facts in many of these districts the answer is simply getting out the youth vote and the non white vote.   While at the same time engaging registered Dems many who are white  who may have skipped voting in the last few cycles.

The key is solid candidates.
And all of us helping in some way those candidates flip their district.


We did it this fall.  We can do it again.  Donate. Write Post Cards.   Engage your friends.

Do you have friends or family in any of these districts?   Email them and ask them where they stand on the Dem Candidate.   Can you write post cards for the candidate?  Can you donate?  Can you phone bank?  Can you fly out and help the campaign?

Happy New Year! And Yes We are Paying Attention


Hello Friends,

Happy New Year.  The first month of 2018 is about to wrap and we can see it will be the same old s-show experience with Trump in charge.    The difference from last year is that The Resistance is growing stronger every day.   I hear more and more people digging in, they either call me or they tell me in person new things they are doing and people who have not done much more than yell about Trump on FB have asked for a task. Wow.     I went to the Women's  March in Los Angeles and saw a crowd as large as last year-- 600,000 people and it was not just women and not just white middle agers. It was young old black brown asian men women trans --everyone.   We are strong and we will fight injustice and we will engage.   I will keep you updated.   See following posts as we launch this year together.

Persist!
