Your Weekly Dose of Sanity-Saving Good News! Get out a #2 pencil…there’s a quiz.

(Huffpost) “Every year, the U.S. holds special citizenship-induction ceremonies on or around the Fourth of July. This year, nearly 15,000 people were being sworn in as U.S. citizens at more than 65 such gatherings across the country, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

At one of those ceremonies, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) ― the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica ― took not-so-veiled jabs at President Donald Trump, who has called for limits on legal immigration along with his effort to ramp up deportation of undocumented immigrants.

“Whenever you feel that future is threatened, whenever those values of liberty and justice for all that drew us here seem under assault, you need to speak up and speak out,” Harris said at a ceremony on the battleship Iowa in the Port of Los Angeles on Monday, according to prepared remarks. “That’s the whole point of the freedoms we cherish.” Continue reading “Your Weekly Dose of Sanity-Saving Good News!

This week in resistance – No rest for the wicked and no recess for us…

“We are a country, I believe, full of determination, hope, and compassion. We cannot and will not stay silent on something that fundamentally challenges our values.

I know we can do this together.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.”
(From Connie Britton)

Remember, as we leave the 4th of July behind, that this country was born of resistance and that revolutionaries were the first patriots.

The United States has one of the worst maternal health records in the developed world

Both bills (S 1112 / HR 1318) support States in their work to save and sustain the health of mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, and in the postpartum period.  Every year in the U.S., 700 to 900 women die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes, and some 65,000 nearly die —the worst record in the developed world. These bills aim to identify solutions to improve healthcare and health outcomes for mothers.

Script:  I’m calling […] to ask them to support [S 1112 / HR 1318].  It’s way past time for the United States to address our persistently high maternal mortality rates.

While you were looking at our President beating up a man with a CNN head…

32 MILLION PEOPLE lose their Health Care Coverage!

Your President is now agreeing with the GOP that maybe they should just REPEAL, and worry about REPLACING sometime down the road, because “keeping promises”.

Trump releases tweets to distract us. If it’s a really egregious tweet, something really terrible is being hidden from us.

Rachel Maddow has cracked his code. Check out the list of what he’s hiding starting from 14:12.

He’s distracting us from the CBO report, his upcoming date with Putin, and the destruction of our voting systems.

Yeah, his tweet was juuuuust big enough to do all that.

Call your Senators! Every day. ALL WEEK LONG! 

Their offices are open during the recess! Let them come back to a monster tally of resistance calls.
