Are you a Democrat?

Why? I am serious. Why? What do you believe and stand for?

Our efforts are being noticed...CA and NY tax bill changes!

Keep calling everyone...IT IS WORKING! Keep pressuring all the reps. This is what happens when we fight to win!

CA can stop the Tax Scam. Sign the petition to congress

to tell the GOP that we are not being distracted and we know what they are up to. We have until Jan 1st to stop the Tax Bill with a majority vote. After that the Senate needs 60. That is why they are supporting a pedophile. Passing this kindergarten-scribble tax scam that destroys the country and makes their donors rich is NOT going to pass since we are stopping it. Call, write, use social media to share events, pictures, etc. If Moore loses we only need two senators to flip. CA alone can flip the House due to the population of our state. Call the CA reps and tell them they will not get reelected since we will not forget this BS bill they are pushing through when they know damn well that only 28% of the country supports it. The MSM has been enabling the GOP by not drawing attention to this, the biggest, most important issue today. Finally this week MSNBC and local news are showing how the grassroots protests, sit ins, phone calls, etc ARE WORKING! We are loud and strong and must stay focused. There are important issues but THIS is it for NOW! The GOP still has to decide on a House bill that they can all get behind and then both chambers have to negotiate before it is ready. We have time so ACT NOW! Sign the petition and call the GOP CA reps. Here are two other good links.

I am going to harness my anger and use it to destroy the GOP!

This is the last straw! I thought I was passionate before but now I am calm, focused and my goal is simple...to bring down the GOP. I have read posts about leaving the party out of frustration but I am feeling the opposite. Anger and rage will energize me like never before! RESIST THE GOP!!!!!! Let's make sure they go down in flames and stay down permanently. I am NOT a snowflake and am willing to play a dirty game if it means the end of their greedy, cheating, hypocritical, corrupt party! This is my fucking country too, damn it!

Are you ready to fight the Tax Scam?

Let your GOP reps know it! Last night and today the MSM has FINALLY taken notice that we are fighting the shitty plan and we are NOT going to roll over and play dead. Get on this and DO NOT STOP! The 3 MSNBC hosts last night and today all showed the rallies, protests, events taking place all over the country. The GOP was hoping we would buy their BS bill and think it is a done deal...well it is not done and neither are WE!
Last Sunday I was part of a nation wide call with the Resistance (Cory Booker, Bernie, MoveOn, Indivisible, etc) and they told us the truth. The bill is not finalized and we still have a chance to stop it. There are 3 things we must do and DO it NOW! Call your reps in both houses and keep CALLING. Our calls last week were being heard and that is why the GOP is so scared now that they are backing Moore (a pedophile's vote is better than none at all they figure). Also, go to rallies, protests, sit ins, whatever and make sure the local media is there. Finally, use social media to spread the word...this part is crucial. Use Facebook and Twitter to share what you have seen, heard, done, experienced and get everyone you know to call their reps.
Ryan needs to select a special committee for the House to decide on a single bill. We need 23 of the 28 congressmen who voted for one bill or the other but not both, then we can flip the House. The two chambers then have to negotiate their two separate bills. This gives us time. Just remember to stay focused. THIS is our most important priority until Jan 1st. Keep pressuring the GOP relentlessly and passionately. Stay strong, loud and be stubborn. RESIST! Peace.
Here are two links with good info. The number of events and the sizes have probably increased since they were posted a few days ago so they may not be current to for today but are pretty close.

NY has the power to stop the Tax Scam...DO IT!

Come on New Yorkers show the GOP that you are onto their scam and are NOT buying IT! The MSM has been silent until yesterday and NOW WE ARE BEING HEARD! They thought they could pass this shitty bill without anyone noticing. Guess what..We NOTICED! We are pissed off and we should be.
I was part of a nationwide call on Sunday and everything I heard from Cory Booker, Bernie, Indivisible, MoveOn, etc is true. They have been working hard and we must do the same. The calls last week were finally working then the GOP declared it was all over. WRONG! It is not over and we are going to fight this tooth and nail until Jan 1st.
Ryan has to select a special closed door committee to figure out what the House bill should be (really, no joke). We will need to flip 23 of the 28 congressmen who voted differently on the two different house bills. This gives us some time. In the Senate we need 3 senators (only two if Moore loses since we have Corker). This is why the GOP is supporting a pedophile (lovely ). Then the two chambers must "negotiate" and agree on a single bill.
We have to keep hammering them non stop and keep the pressure on them. Call, write, attend an event, etc. Make sure the local media is there. The crucial part is to spread the word through social media. The MSM has been distracted by $ and ratings/shiny objects. There are important issues and there are distractions but THIS IS THE MAIN PRIORITY! Stay focused and be loud, strong, stubborn and fight them with all you have. Here are two good links for info. They are not current for today so the number and sizes of the events may have increased. We are counting on everyone to make at least one call.

Hey Jersey...you can stop the tax bill.

You have the population and the reps who are running scared know that word has gotten out that last week's phone calls were working, despite 0 coverage from the MSM. Oh well, you are tough, strong and determined (at least you were when I lived in Hoboken). The congress has been pushing this Tax Scam through even though it is barely a rough draft because they don't want the citizens to realize how crappy it is. This past weekend I learned that the bill is NOT A DONE DEAL! The GOP wants you to think that but we aren't fucking morons. Call, write, go to events and use social media (this part is crucial). We have until Jan to stop them so call everyone you know and tell them to call congress (both houses). The House has to have a special committee to figure out their bill. The Senate has to "negotiate" their bill with the House, then they may be able to get it signed. The Dems must flip 23 of 28 congressmen and we need 3 senators (maybe two if Moore loses). This IS do-able. Cory Booker, Bernie, MoveOn , Indivisible, etc have planned events all over the country and we are finally getting news coverage. Call, write, share experiences, etc through Twitter and Facebook . Keep pressuring them non stop. It is NOT over by a long shot. These two links are full of good info. There probably are even more events now and larger numbers that are current.

Thanks for the effort...It IS WORTH IT! This is our country too so let's let them hear us!

The TAX SCAM is being exposed. Our efforts are working...keep it up!

The MSM is finally showing the Resistance efforts that are in play and the GOP is scared!!!!! Keep up the calls, protests, sharing on social media. The GOP knows that the word is out and we are not going to let them screw us...stay focused and keep hammering them any way you can. Make sure the media knows it. We are the grass roots and our energy and drive to stay focused on this is paying off. DO NOT BE DISTRACTED. They will try to have us chasing shadows but we are too smart and know their BS.
CALL, write, share, be loud and strong...This is OUR COUNTRY TOO! It is not a dictatorship yet.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
