Indivisible Ventura is busy today writing up some great local judicial candidate interviews for our upcoming voting guide, so thank goodness for Rogan’s List for today’s actions!
Action #1 – Emergency at the Department of Justice. Call your legislators!
On Monday, the DOJ made their sentencing recommendations in the Roger Stone case, based on the face that he is actually a criminal who lied under oath. Overnight on Monday, Trump tweeted out the unfairness of the sentencing recommendation. Tuesday, the DOJ announced a revision to the recommendation. Then, the four DOJ prosecutors resigned from the case in protest of the intervention of Attorney General William Barr. Then Barr announced that that he will be controlling all aspects of cases related to Trump (like the Stone case) which Trump is pleased about. Barr has agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on March 31, but that seems much later than needed. Regardless of Barr’s willingness to testify, this is a disturbing and dangerous politicization of the DOJ and isnot the behavior of democracies.
Minimal script: I’m calling from [zip code] and I want Sen/Rep [___] to know that we are very concerned about the following unacceptable actions by Attorney General Bill Barr:
- setting up a Giuliani information backchannel
- taking over all Trump-related cases (how can we even be saying this!)
- slashing Roger Stone’s sentencing recommendations.

Action #2 – Send a postcard or note of thanks to the attorney that resigned in protest.
Assistant US Attorney Jonathan Kravis just resigned from the Washington Bureau of the DOJ rather than carry out Barr’s slashing sentencing recommendations for Roger Stone.
Send him postcards of support at this address where he is teaching a course this semester: Jonathan Kravis, Professorial Lecturer in Law, George Washington University, 2000 H Street, NW, Washington, District of Columbia 20052
Action #3 – While you have your pen out, send a postcard or note of thanks to Lt. Col Alexander Vindman too.
“Vindman’s synagogue in Springfield, Virginia, is accepting letters of support on his behalf.” Express our gratitude to this war hero and patriot to the following address:
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman c/o Congregation Adat Reyim, 6500 Westbury Oaks Court, Springfield, VA 22152.
If we want to publicly show our support, we can order these shirts here.
