No Special Prosecutor? Then No FBI Director Confirmation. Keep up the pressure!

Let’s use a little leverage.

Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, has suggested that the Senate should refrain from confirming a new director of the F.B.I. until a special prosecutor is named. Let’s support his idea.

Call Senator Feinstein: DC (202) 224-3841, LA (310) 914-7300, SF (415) 393-0707, SD (619) 231-9712, Fresno (559) 485-7430

Interrogate Attorney General Sessions and Deputy Rosenstein. How long has this been going on?

The American people need to keep the pressure on!

The Senate needs to interrogate Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein over Trump’s decision to fire Mr. Comey. How long have there been plans to fire Comey? What part did previously recused Sessions play? Did the decision to fire Comey come from Trump or the Justice Department? We need answers.

Script: I’m calling to demand that the Senate interrogate Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein. They need to explain the true motivations behind Mr. Comey’s firing, and why Sessions participated in this matter, when he should have recused himself.

Call Senator Feinstein: DC (202) 224-3841, LA (310) 914-7300, SF (415) 393-0707, SD (619) 231-9712, Fresno (559) 485-7430

Your Weekly Dose of Sanity-saving Good News. Trump Failure Edition

Oh, let us count the ways Mr. Trump has failed this week. There’s just sooooo much of it!

Trump fails at his attempt to penalize sanctuary cities. We’ve collectively made a lot of phone calls about this one! Keep up the pressure by calling about the “California Sanctuary State” bill.

It took Trump THREE tries to get his horrible healthcare bill through the House. The good news? The Senate is going to hate it and send it back to the House after many amendments.

What can YOU do to stop this? We are participating in three die-ins this week in neighboring districts to show Congressmen who voted for TrumpCare that we will not tolerate this twice. Click here for more info (carpooling available). Click here to see why these die-ins work.

Yet ANOTHER fail: No funding for Trump’s stupid wall in the federal spending bill. Yup, we were all over this one too. GREAT job everyone.

Oh, and there’s MORE: No funding cuts for Planned Parenthood, the NIH, PBS, NPR, and the EPA—will continue to receive funding. Many actions were taken for these issues, you can continue to support EPA protection here.

Although GOPs planned to exempt themselves from TrumpCare, they turned tail Continue reading “Your Weekly Dose of Sanity-saving Good News. Trump Failure Edition” →

Thank You for Support of Independent Commission Email or Postcard

Sen. Feinstein is an original cosponsor of S.27, the Senate bill to establish an independent commission to investigate Russian interference in our election. Rep. Brownley is a cosponsor of the House version (HR 356). Thank them for their leadership on this critical issue, while urging them to keep the focus and pressure on the investigation.

Send an Email or Postcard:
Senator Feinstein (Rep. Brownley),
Thank you for standing up to demand an independent commission to investigate the Russian interference in our election. Even before the obvious partisanship of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devon Nunes’ derailing of his own investigation and the GOP-led Senate investigation wallowing to a standstill, you were out in front demanding that this issue was too important to be left in the hands of Trump’s party allies. Thank you for for continuing to call for a transparent and comprehensive 9/11 style investigation into what may be this generations’ Watergate.

We haven’t forgotten about you, Russia. We’re not going away and we want the scandal resolved! (2 of 2)

The Senate Intelligence Committee is stalling on investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, the House Intelligence Committee has imploded, and the White House is stonewalling requests for information about Mike Flynn. An independent non-partisan prosecutor and commission is long overdue, and Senator Harris is not yet on board.

Note: Feinstein/Brownley should be thanked and nudged, and Harris should be nudged.

Script: I’m calling to ask that Senator Harris insists on a non-partisan commission to investigate Russian meddling in our election and that it’s time for this to get started. We’re not going away and we want the scandal resolved.

Call Senator Harris: DC (202) 224-3553, LA (213) 894-5000, SAC (916) 448-2787, Fresno (916) 448-2787, SF (415) 355-9041, SD (619) 239-3884

No tax returns, No tax reform (2 of 2)

Donald Trump, how much money would you personally save from your tax “reform”?

Even without going into the details of Donald Trump’s tax plan, which Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin calls “the biggest tax cut and largest tax reform in history of this country”, it’s clear that Trump and other big corporate interests will benefit “BIGLY.” How much? Unknown, and unacceptable. This is a huge conflict of interest. NO TAX RETURN, NO TAX CUTS!

Script: I’m calling to ask (___) to oppose any proposed tax reforms from Trump until he releases his tax returns. We’re tired of paying a higher percentage of taxes than he does! No tax returns, no tax reforms.

Say No to HUD budget cuts: Budget cuts should not be on the backs of the poorest Americans!

Trump has proposed $6.2 billion in cuts to Housing and Urban Development (HUD), slashing funding for Community Development Block Grants, public housing, housing vouchers, and programs serving the homeless. These are essential programs for those most in need of help, including veterans, the disabled, seniors, working poor, and youth aging out of foster care.

Script: I’m calling (____) to reject any cuts in HUD funding that increases homelessness. People will actually die from these cuts, and our emergency services will be overwhelmed. Instead of paying for our jetsetting President to golf or campaign, let’s invest in helping our own.

Trump must not be allowed to use millions of people’s health insurance as a bargaining chip to fund his stupid wall

Don’t hold the ACA hostage: The ACA offsets the costs that insurance companies incur insuring low-income enrollees. Trump is threatening to withhold these payments unless Congress passes a budget that funds his border wall with Mexico. Holding the health insurance of millions of Americans hostage is not an acceptable way to fund this wall, or anything else for that matter.

Script: I’m calling to ask (_____) to reject any deal that involves holding the ACA hostage in return for funding the border wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for in the first place.

Demand Congressional Approval for Any Military Intervention

Trump needs the approval of Congress before undertaking military actions in Syria, North Korea, or elsewhere. There’s been no meaningful debate on whether America’s national interest requires military action against ISIS, Syria or North Korea, what the strategy should be, or at what point domestic priorities should prevail. It’s time for that discussion.

Script: I’m calling to remind (—) that Trump needs to ask permission from Congress before starting new wars. There’s a reason we require oversight between government branches.
