Maraya1969's JournalI put this "Donate to Rob Quist" on General Discussion and it's sitting there with 4 votes. I can't
Believe how people talk so much about electing Democrats is so important now but talking about what as asshat #45 is gets to the Greatest Page while an opportunity to raise some money for a very much needed Democrat is like "MEH"
Then I thought of MONTANA! Maybe you've already done this I don't know but I'll cross post it here.

The Republican is a "repeal and replace" Trump supporter. Montana has a Dem governor but the rest of the state is burn red. We need every one we can get.

https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/montanansforquistI'm from FL but I am trying to donate some to all these new elections.
The guy Rob Quist is running against has dead animal heads around his office (just an aside but also a nasty fact about the guy)
So if anyone is thinking about donating you can give $5.00 and it will be worth $20.00 and it might help save our country!

So Rep Cummings was on Rachael saying that he thinks the Comey firing was
another attempt at burying information - like everything Sally Yates said the day before!
I wonder if it is a simple as that? It was brought up how much trump has praised Comey up until now and then all of a sudden he is "not doing a good job"?
Dems hatch plan that could make Trump resign
http://www.palmerreport.com/opinion/senate-democrats-hatch-plan-that-could-leave-donald-trump-with-little-choice-but-to-resign/2481/Senate Democrats are hatching a plan that could lead Trump to conclude that he has no real choice but to resign.
The plan, on its surface, is simple enough: sue Donald Trump. But the genius is in the details. This isn’t a plan to merely tie up Trump in court with some willy nilly lawsuit. The effort is being crafted by Senator Richard Blumenthal, a former State Attorney General with detailed knowledge of how these things work. The idea is to sue Trump over his financial conflicts of interest in violation of the Emoluments Clause, forcing him to think twice about how far he’s willing to go to remain in office.
Because the lawsuit would focus on Donald Trump’s financial conflicts, it would open the door for Senate Democrats to try to subpoena his tax returns and financial records. If the judge in the case orders Trump to turn over that evidence, he’ll have to do it. During the election we saw that Trump was willing to risk losing just to avoid forking over his tax returns, because they contain things just that awful. If the Democrats back Trump into a corner where the only way to avoid surrendering his tax returns is to resign so the lawsuit goes away, it just might mean his exit.

Since when did abortion become between "choice" and "life"?
Because the real reason Roe V. Wade went the way it did is the justices read the constitution as saying our "Right to privacy" includes our visits with the doctor! And I don't know about other states but here in FL every time you go to a new doctor they have to give you a paper to that effect and you have to sign that you got it, (or refused it) Privacy is very serious stuff.
Now a woman's right to privacy has morphed into something that sounds like a woman just chooses whether or not to have an abortion like she chooses anything in her life. And this couldn't be father from the truth.
It is not an easy choice and I think the the word should not be used. Abortion is a medical decision between a woman and her doctor and I think we need to go back to the privacy we are guaranteed of that basic right that our constitution gives us.
The intellecual dishonesty of "Regret" Trump voters
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/4/21/1654947/-The-intellectual-dishonesty-of-voter-regret-storiesEven though we are less than 100 days in, there seems to be a wave of "I already regret my vote" stories--whether in "mea culpa" form by a prominent conservative or a compilation of anecdotes by mostly red state voters who don't feel like they got what they voted for.
And while this may make the author or voter feel better, there is one major item missing from each of these stories: the lack of rejection of conservatism and right wing ideology. Without that, these stories are less than meaningless. The tripe that is "conservatism cant fail, it can only be failed" makes this no more than "it isn't Republicans, it is just THIS Republican".
The past 35 years have shown us just what conservative and right wing ideology is. Bigotry. Hate. Wealth inequality. Pollution. Sexism. Party over country. Aggression. Gutting voter rights. And that's just off the top of my head.
Let's just start from, "The Republicans are going to steal the Ossoff election
unless we stop them"
They have proven time and time again that they will lie cheat and steal. It is to our peril to forget that.
Maybe ideas can be exchanged and changed implemented.
I personally think that each person should receive a receipt of their vote so they can have a hard copy.
Edit: I mentioned somewhere else that when you stick a sign in the ground you can put some blobs of Vaseline or Vapor rub or even grease, around the area where someone would grab to pull it out. Just remember to use towels when you go to pick them up yourselves
