It’s election season! Time to start exposing hilariously deceptive political crap from billionaires!

Did you get this in the mail from “Californians to Protect Retirement and Life Savings“?

Or did a signature gatherer try to corner you? (They get $15 if you sign!) This letter is a fear-bomb, designed to make people believe that CA’s proposed 5% wealth tax, which only affects 200 CA billionaires, is actually coming after grandma’s pension!

Yeah. Ok, maybe. If grandma is also a friggin‘ BILLIONAIRE!

ACTION: How to respond to this ridiculous initiative?

The letter says to sign in two places on the back – once as a registered voter and once as the petition circulator.

  1. Don’t do it, of course! Warn your friends, family and coworkers not to sign any petition for this stupid initiative either! Signature-gathers will be aggressive for this one. Did we say they get $15 for each signature? They are even paying people to sign, which is totally illegal.
  2. Internet suggestions for dealing with the mailer so far:
  • If you already signed, you can get your signature removed! Here’s a nifty “Petition Signature Withdrawal Form” from our County Clerk-Recorder & Registrar of Voters Michelle Ascension!

Guess what’s on the Consent Calendar on March 3rd?

Tell the County Supervisors: “NO more military equipment puchases on the Consent Calendar!”

According to AB-481, a CA law passed in 2021, law enforcement agencies who want to buy military equipment have to obtain approval from their applicable governing body in public meetings. The law was adopted into Ventura County Ordinance 4603. For today’s example, we’re talking about the Sheriff’s office request to buy a drone on the V.C. Board of Supervisors (BOS) March 3rd consent calendar.

Why do law enforcement agencies in CA have to ask permission to buy military-grade equipment? The reasons for this public approval process was important enough to be written into the law itself.

De-ICE CA, one state law at a time!

These proposed laws protect our civil rights, keep our safety officers from double-dipping into the ICE pool, tax and oversee detention facilities, and make court appearances safer for everyone.

Make sure your legislators know these laws are important to you!

Current status of laws passed already:

  • UPHELD BY COURT RULING: (Politico) SB 805, the “No Vigilantes Act” signed in 2025, requires federal agents to identify themselves during operations was upheld by U.S. U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder
  • TURNED DOWN: “No Secret Police Act,” an anti-masking law, was rejected because because the law’s provisions do not apply to state law enforcement officers. State legislators are rewriting it!

Action #1: Call your state assemblymember

Scam Alert! Medicare’s new AI model lets corporations profit by denying services ordered by doctors.

CMS’s WISeR “test” is just another way for Trump’s equity-pirate donors to gorge on our Medicare dollars. Call your legislators!

The corruption here is bizarrely obvious. But that doesn’t mean it will go away without a fight.

“First, Project 2025 came for a small group of kids…”

Write a comment against the Heritage Foundation’s attack on gender-affirming care for youth. (Deadline Feb. 17)

(This video is the best! Leeja Miller was one of the first to sound the alarm about Project 2025 – she is wicked smart and absolutely ferocious!)

(https://youtu.be/KfVE4xyNrO0) – Her sources she mentions are here)

Our Dr. Oz-run Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that they intended to eliminate gender-affirming health care for trans youth, hiding Project 2025’s Christian Nationalist agenda behind bad science. Their proposed rules would block Medicaid and CHIP funding for gender-affirming care for transgender youth; and punish hospitals and providers that offer this care by threatening their ability to participate in Medicare and Medicaid altogether.

Like bullies everywhere, they’ve picked the smallest and most vulnerable target to pick on first. But these kids are symbolically important to Christian Nationalists, as they challenge the narrow set of conservative values they intend to force on all of us:

Call your legislators – NO ILLEGAL WAR FOR OIL!

Please watch this important video by historian Heather Cox Richardson before you immerse yourself in the MAGA cesspool of misinformation!

(https://www.youtube.com/live/7JXQhff9aGc?si=SvdZBbsAei5oqCpO)

(reason) “The real question isn’t whether this action was legal; it is what to do about its illegality. Ignoring the law and the people’s will in this fashion is a high crime,” writes Conor Friedersdorf in The Atlantic. “Any Congress inclined to impeach and remove Trump from office over Venezuela would be within their rights.

Action – Call and email all your federal legislators!
