Gotta Have The Wawa
Given that Delawareans cannot cross streets properly and bad planning, it really doesn’t seem like a great idea to build a Wawa across the street from the Concord Mall. It’s like they want to create pedestrian traffic.
New Teenage Tobacco Possession Bill Needs To Die
Rep. Michael Ramone submitted a bill that will make it unlawful for those under 18 to possess, use or consume tobacco. Though doubtful this law will curtail smoking, it will make it easier to for teenagers’ to obtain a criminal record. So it has that going for it

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!

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.
