What have you done to resists Trump today (Jan 24th, 2017) ?
First the pep-talk…
These phone-call prompts are working. I have two almost entirely non-political friends who have been motivated to make calls for the first time ever because of these posts and comments. Keep it up! It works!
We need to keep the pressure on Carper and Coons. They are on the front lines of resisting Trump. If they fold on resisting these nominations, they will fold on maintaining a Democratic filibuster. AND WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN!
The vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education has been delayed. The hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will now be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 31, according to an advisory from the committee.
1) Call Coons or Carper at their Wilmington offices (the DC lines are bogging down), and tell them to vote NO on the unqualified Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education.
Coons Wilmington: 302-573-6345
Carper Wilmington: 302-573-6291
2) Text the Wilmington contact number to 2 friends.

Back From the Philly March
Wow. Just…wow. We must have had at least 50,000 people there. My wife really wanted to go, and I was more than happy to tag along. My wife and I got to Philly around 9 and to Logan Square around 9:15. I’ve never seen so many clever signs. Many of them employing the vulgarism that […]
