Ask Sen. Feinstein to filibuster Gorsuch! Insist on a 60 vote threshold for confirmation (2 of 2 today)

Flood Feinstein! Call all day! 36 Democrats have committed to filibustering Gorsuch. Senator Feinstein is not yet among them.

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

The US Senate Judiciary Committee will meet Monday, April 3, to consider Neil Gorsuch’s Supreme Court nomination. Republicans need eight Democrats to join them to end the expected filibuster by invoking cloture. As of this writing, only one of our senators, Kamala Harris, has indicated she is a firm “no” on Gorsuch. Senator Dianne Feinstein told reporters on March 27, “…let’s wait for next week, OK? And then I’ll make myself very clear.”

OK, Senator Feinstein, it’s decision time.

Script: I’m calling from (ZIP) to ask Senator Feinstein to FILIBUSTER Neil Gorsuch. He is the face of corporations and billionaires who want to deform our civil rights for generations. Senator Feinstein: filibuster for our rights! Insist that his confirmation pass the 60-vote threshold!

Urge NO on H.J. Res 36. We can’t afford to rollback regulations of greenhouse gasses (1 of 2 today)

Methane’s impact on climate change is 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. The GOP wants to rescind an Obama-era regulation that cracks down on methane leaks, and that bans the burning off of excess methane during natural gas drilling. H.J. Res 36 is bad for the environment and wasteful of our country’s natural gas resources.

Support Adam Schiff’s call for Nunes to Step Down – Call your Senators!

The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Nunes, is himself a member of the transition team being investigated for collusion with Russia. He’s misdirected attention and dismissed evidence, despite the FBI’s assertions to the contrary. He’s improperly briefed Trump and has met with secret sources.

This is what corruption looks like. It’s time for him to step down.

Vote Yes on S.B. 54 – Keep ICE from Our Hospitals and Schools! (3 of 3 today)

S.B. 54, the California Values Act, moved closer to passage in the State Senate late last week, with a final vote expected during the next few days.

The bill was introduced last fall as statewide legislation that will build upon the decisions of numerous California localities to declare themselves “sanctuary cities,” prohibiting their own law enforcement officials from cooperating with federal authorities in enforcing Trump’s immigration policies.

Vote NO on Sonny Perdue for Secretary of Agriculture. Whoa. This guy has quite a background. (2 of 3 today)

Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue committed fraud: illegal non-disclosure of assets, false testimony under oath, shady land-deals, illegal manipulation of campaign funds and tax loopholes, and was found guilty repeatedly by his State Ethics Commission.

No on HR 1215. You can’t place a federally imposed limit on the value of my life! (1 of 3 today)

For those with federally funded health care, HR 1215 caps medical malpractice payouts to $250,000, overruling any state laws that declare such caps unconstitutional. It punishes those insured by the ACA (or veterans insured through the VA) by placing a federally imposed limit on the value of their lives.

Vote “NO” on HR 1430. Protect our air and water! (2 of 2 today)

The new rules and regulations mandated by HR 1430 are not compatible with peer-reviewed science, and add red tape that compromises the ability of the EPA to protect our air and water. Republican lawmakers have no business telling scientists at the EPA how to do their jobs.
