Happy 4th of July America. WE are the true patriots...the Democratic Party puts Country Over Party.
Why is the media focusing on Collins and not Graham over SCOTUS pick?
Both senators have said that they will not support a SCOTUS pick who may overturn Roe V Wade? Graham has said that the SCOTUS has reaffirmed the decision numerous times making it clear that the decision from 45 years ago is valid and clear. Period. Collins said that she does not want a SCOTUS pick who will overturn the decision about women's rights on this issue. Both senators can not be trusted (none of them can...do not fall for it). The media is focusing on Murkowski and Collins.
****************
"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) asserted on Sunday that Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized abortion nationwide, should not be overturned "unless there's a good reason."
In an interview airing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Graham said that the 1973 decision has been reaffirmed "in many different ways" in subsequent rulings, and that the precedent should be respected.
"You don’t overturn precedent unless there’s a good reason," Graham said.
August 26 is the Day Of Action. Mark your calendar.
Last night was the announcement of this date for people to stand up and fight the GOP and their SCOTUS pick who want to make women second class citizens again. NO WAY! Indivisible, MoveOn and other groups announced that we will be fighting back and the GOP will not usurp our rights as women.
Republicans control both chambers in 32 states (33 if you count Nebraska) and 33 governorships. And in many of these states they are entrenching their power by gerrymandering and arranging to suppress votes.
Yet only 27 percent of Americans are Republican, and the vast majority of Americans disapprove of Trump. The GOP itself is now little more than Trump, Fox News, a handful of billionaire funders, and evangelicals who oppose a woman’s right to choose, gay marriage, and the Constitution’s separation of church and state.
So what are we — the majority — to do?"
First and most importantly, do not give up.
Call, write, attend town halls, share info, RESISTANCE WORKS! Just like with the ACA, the grass roots efforts are going to stop the GOP and their misogynists from telling women what they do not have control over their own bodies. This Summer we must FIGHT and FIGHT HARD! Call them all out and pressure all of the GOP men and women!
Robert Reich and Indivisible have the same plan...a proven plan that works! Will you please fight with is?!?

Robert Reich has a plan to defeat the GOP...it can be done!
"Republicans also control both chambers in 32 states (33 if you count Nebraska) and 33 governorships. And in many of these states they are entrenching their power by gerrymandering and arranging to suppress votes.
Yet only 27 percent of Americans are Republican, and the vast majority of Americans disapprove of Trump.

So what are we — the majority — to do?"
First and most importantly, do not give up.
Second, in the short term, if you are represented by a Republican senator, do whatever you can to get him or her to reject Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, or, at the least, postpone consideration until after the midterm elections. Urge others to join with you. Senate switchboard: 202-224-3121
Third, make a ruckus. Demonstrate. Engage in non-violent civil disobedience. Fight lies with truth. Join the resistance. @IndivisibleTeam @swingleft @UpRiseDotOrg@MoveOn @Sister_District @flippable_org.
Fourth, don’t succumb to divisive incrimination over “who lost” the 2016 election (Hillary loyalists, Bernie supporters, Jill Stein voters, etc.). This will get us nowhere. We must be united.
Fifth, vote this November 6 for people who will stand up to the Trump Republican outrage. Mobilize and organize others to do so. Contact friends and relations in “red” states, and urge them to do the same.
Sixth, help lay the groundwork for the 2020 presidential election, so that even if Trump survives Mueller and impeachment he will not be reelected.
Finally, know that this fight will be long and hard. It will require our patience, our courage, and our resolve. The stakes could not be higher.
Spread the word...this is extremely important! Thanks! RESISTANCE WORKS!
INDIVISIBLE has the same plan. So does MOVE On.org and other groups. We have to do this along WITH our Dem reps in the Senate and House. ALL OF US ARE IN THIS ONE TOGETHER? Buckle up!
INDIVISIBLE has a strategy to resist SCOTUS reimagining by tRump.
You may have seen this on Rachel Maddow two nights ago. We have done this before (with the ACA) and it can be done again!

We have the winning strategy. Now, here’s how we do it.
Call. Show up. Call again. This is our bread and butter as a movement, and how we most effectively put pressure on our Senators. Each and every senator needs to hear from their constituents. Indivisibles in Alaska, Indiana, Maine, North Dakota, and West Virginia: your Senators are key votes in this fight. We need to let both Republicans and Democrats know that a ‘yes’ vote on Trump’s nominee is politically toxic, and it’ll follow them for the rest of their careers. Use our resource and call script to prepare, and then make your call. We’ve set up a toll-free number at 1-844-778-3056. Use it. Share it. Keep. On. Calling.
Your Senators will be on recess beginning today, until July 8. They’ll be home for a week working from their district offices and they’ll be at 4th of July parades, town halls, and barbeques. Read up on our resource to use these local public events to get facetime with your Senators.
Commit to volunteer to target voters in our five target states to flip the Senate -- AZ, MS, NV, TN, and TX. Indivisibles are e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e, and they’re already working to take back power and flip the Senate. And the stakes have never been higher. Are you ready to get to work? Sign up and commit to volunteer now. We’re building out a national phonebank to begin reaching progressive voters in these deep red states.
We continue fighting across different issues, our advocacy is linked by a common cause. The Trump administration does not serve the will of the people, and we have a moral imperative to use our power to demand our leaders listen to us -- or else, we elect ones who will.
We’re fighting to save American democracy. Let’s do this.

WOMENS EQUALITY DAY Aug 26 Nationwide
Just announced Sunday, Aug 26, 2018 as a "Day of Action". Day of PROTESTS in 50 states. Indivisible, MoveOn, NARAL, etc just had a nationwide phone call about fighting the SCOTUS pick. We will be asking everyone to CALL, write, have town halls, write letters to the editor and make it personal. The SCOTUS pick will be on the court for 40 years. Dem reps Booker and Lieu want NO SCOTUS until after the investigation is over while others want it delayed until after the midterms. Whoever is picked from the Federal List of 25 has already said he will overturn Roe V Wade. Even if they say they won't they are lying. Blue states also must call and get their reps to write legislation to thwart the GOP efforts, use every tool and procedure available to delay or block the pick and confirmation, and to go the extra mile to publicly appear to the nation how they are resisting and to show our efforts.
August 26, 1920 The 19th Amen gave Women The Right to VOTE! 
RESISTANCE WORKS!
Spread the word and mark your calendar. THANKS!
BIG sales on discounted pot in CA this weekend.
Six months after California made recreational marijuana use legal, the so-called "Weed Apocalypse" arrives this weekend, as tight state regulations going into effect on Sunday have dispensaries scrambling to unload non-compliant product.
But while the deadline is giving pot shop owners headaches, it is creating an opportunity for consumers. They are already anticipating deep discounts on their favorite marijuana products on what has been dubbed "Green Saturday" - for the color of cannabis - and for black market dealers.
"There's going to be a lot of massive sales, a lot of retails fire-selling a lot of products," said Nick Danias, manager of The Pottery cannabis dispensary in mid-city Los Angeles.

Families Belong Together 700+ protests tomorrow!
https://act.moveon.org/event/families-belong-together_attend1/search/Donald Trump and his administration have cruelly separated thousands of children from their families. Now they're jailing families -- and they haven't yet reunified the families already brutally torn apart.
But we won't allow it to continue. On June 30, we're rallying in Washington, D.C., and around the country to tell Donald Trump and his administration to permanently end the separation of kids from their parents. End family internment camps. End the "zero-humanity" policy that created this crisis. And reunify the children with their parents.
Trump and his administration have been systematically criminalizing immigration and immigrants, from revoking Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to ramping up intimidating ICE tactics.
Join us on June 30 to send a clear message to Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress: Families Belong Together! Spread the word...RESISTANCE WORKS!
GET UP, STAND UP For Your Rights! B. Marley....
inspiration for our protests tomorrow FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER ...750+ events...RESISTANCE WORKS! DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT!
