By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

I'm making this short and sweet  and am posting a copy of this petition I signed with DAILY KOS requesting that the special commission televise the remainder of the January 6  Assault on the Nation's Capitol hearings during prime time.

 

 

I'm sharing this petition link with you. 

It was originally addressed to me.  I've already signed it.  But you can use the same form.  Just please substitute your name for mine.

Share the link with your associates, family and friends.

It's crucial that all America - the World - see the truth and KNOW THE TRUTH!

THIS IS ESSENTIAL IN THE DECISION MAKING VOTES WE MUST MAKE ON NOVEMBER 8, DURING THE MIDTERM ELECTION - TO ENSURE WE DON'T RETURN THE MISCREANTS WHO ARE PART OF THIS ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY TO OFFICE -

Guest Article: Gloria, sign the petition: Tell mainstream media to stop normalizing authoritarians!!

Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Greetings Crew:

Per my promise, I'm sharing any and all relevant info and articles that speaks to the issue we face under the current circumstances that threaten our existence - especially since so much of the media has been pro-Trump, or too wimpy to take a principled stance on the tragedy and travesty that we are currently facing.  I've been a subscriber to THE DAILY KOS since its inception several years ago.  They are one of the few pro-active publications that are not afraid to tell the truth.  As I mentioned in one of my recent postings, we have to stop playing the game by the rules the miscreants set - we have to relanguage their propaganda - Instead of MAGA - I call T-rump's crew "Maggots;"  instead of calling him the "president" - he is "the predator."   And now The Daily Kos has finally put on front street the truth most media try to skirt: the previous predator in chief represents facism and is trying to bring the US down an subjugate it into a fascist regime.  Given the fact that our youth - Black and white have been grossly "mis- and dis- educated" - civics no longer taught in the schools, unethical practices and greed being highlighted, as well as mocking those who would take a principled stance have now become the rules rather than the exception. 

Whether you sign the petition, or not, is your prerogative - I'm more interested in providing you with some of the better publications that are providing the truth in a realm where lies appear to be the rule, rather than the exception. 

PS:  I'd also like to add that we have to begin demanding remediation of the education system to re-establish programs that have been egregiously removed, such as: CIVICS, Real American History, Great Books, home economics, Physics, Chemistry, shop, vocational education, ethics, classics, music, art, etiquette -  among other things.  These were originally considered quality education - what we have now is a mere shadow of what most of us originally received - or that is provided in elite educational systems.  Our youth are now rendered to the level of automatons subjugated to the whims of social media and mis-information.

Subject: Tell the media: Call a fascist a fascist already!

Gloria, sign the petition: Tell mainstream media to stop normalizing authoritarians. SIGN THE PETITION During the 2016 election, many of us accurately nailed Donald T-rump as a threat to our lives, rights, and democracy. We rightfully called on media outlets to accurately report his outrageous claims and attacks, and urged them to stop treating him as a hilarious sideshow. Instead, he was repeatedly gifted primetime news and front page print coverage. Journalists and reporters prioritized horserace analysis and reality show-type sensationalism over debunking his lies, denouncing his vitriol, or even simply acknowledging the threat his authoritarian policies would have on our democracy. The coverage catapulted him from a fringe right-wing extremist to a fringe right-wing extremist with access to our nuclear codes and state secrets. It took years of advocacy and activism to remove Trump from office. But now, as his legal troubles grow and the Republican Party seeks a sure thing, we're watching too many journalists make the same damaging decisions in their coverage of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (DE-INSANITY). Sign the petition: Tell mainstream media to stop normalizing authoritarians. SIGN THE PETITION DeSantis wants to be president, and he is using his governorship to inherit, capitalize on, and politicize Donald T-rump's hate. He has spearheaded efforts to ban voter drop boxes and set up new roadblocks for vote by mail, gave motorists legal protection if they mow down protesters, pushed authoritarian legislation to silence dissent on and offline, targeted state employees who disagree with him, banned reporters from events unless he could count on positive coverage, and more. Mainstream (MEANSTREAM) media has largely avoided explicitly naming the danger DeSantis poses to our democracy, instead focusing once again on both-sides coverage and human interest profiles. Journalists covering DeSantis need to make it clear that he is an ideologue with a strong and growing track record of authoritarianism who, just like T-rump, uses his position of power to punish his enemies and reward his allies in furtherance of his political goals and without any regard to democratic process. T-rump and MAGA (MAGGOT) Republicans (REPUGLYCONS) have taken authoritarianism mainstream. DeSantis (DE-INSANITY) aims to enshrine it permanently. Our democracy depends on journalists providing accurate, unvarnished coverage of how radical and authoritarian DeSantis (DE-INSANITY) is. Sign the petition: Tell mainstream media to stop normalizing authoritarians.

OUR MIDTERM VOTES MATTER - AND SO DOES OUR MIDTERM CONTRIBUTIONS

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All:

From time to time I will be sharing Democratic  Financial Fundraising requests with you as we get nearer and nearer to the 2022 MIDTERM ELECTION - 

WHY? YOU ASK - Because freedom ain't free and neither are these campaigns.  In a  world where dark money is used to undermine our freedoms, and underhanded tactics are more the rule than the exception, we can't possibly think that our candidates are going to win on well wishes and prayers.  And, while we might not have the deep pockets some of the other political pundits and manipulators have, we do have the power to help with getting the campaign under way and supporting our candidates.  

Former President Barack Obama showed us the way to make it happen.  

We used to say that if every Black man and woman took $1.00 a day and pooled it together in a mutual fund, we could have enough money to own our own homes, put our children through college, and own our own businesses.  And that's absolutely true.  Years ago, the Black United Fund of New York proved it by raising $111 Million a year just from donations of $1.50 per person per week in New York City.  

Using the same principle, with as little as $3.00 per person per week pooled together to support one or more candidate we can translate  it into $ Millions of dollars.  If done systematically, the way Obama did it during the 2008 and 2012 campaign, we will more than match up with the millions sent into underhanded repuglycon campaigns.  But we have to do it systematically and consistently.  Of course, if you want to give more, feel free to do so.  I have been giving between $3.00 and $5.00 per week since May of this year.  

Melanie Campbell, head of The Black Women's Roundtable, participated in a panel during the 2022 National Action Network's convention - and said "It's not like Black people haven't been here before.  We are accustomed to whites trying to deprive us of our rights.  We know how it works, and we do what we have to do to prevent them from preventing us from exercising our rights.  We know that when they close down the polls in one area, we show up in droves to the others; if they say we can't help our elders on line waiting to vote, we make sure they have chairs to sit on until they get to the polls.  If they demand some sort of specialized identification, we get together and make sure that all who need those identifications have them."   

In other words: We are prime examples of the saying: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!"  

One of the major things Ms. Campbell said was:  "Black people need to learn to TITHE TO CANDIDATES SO THEY WILL HAVE THE FUNDS THEY NEED TO WIN, IN MUCH THE SAME WAY WE DO IN CHURCH."  Seniors need to make sure they have transportation to get to the polls.  Youth must make sure they have registered to vote by the time they are 18 years old.  Ex-offenders must make sure the first thing they do when they are paroled or have served their time that they register to vote.  And those who have members, or friends who fall under this category must make sure they register to vote and then make sure they actually get to the polls.

Make it a sacred mission - just like they are trying to make it their mission to prevent us from voting.  It has been said BLACK PEOPLE HAVE NEVER EVER LOST A BATTLE THAT WE FOUGHT IN - BUT WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO FIGHT IN IT.  NOT FROM THE SIDE LINE, NOT FROM THE TV - BUT ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES AND GETTING THE JOB DONE!

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE VOTE BLUE - NO MATTER WHO!! 

DEMAND THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN ISSUE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IMMEDIATELY, IF NOT SOONER, RE-ESTABLISHING AND EXPANDING OUR RIGHT TO VOTE - AND VACATING ANY AND ALL LEGISLATION THAT BLOCKS OUR DEPRIVES US OF OUR RIGHTS.  

WE MUST PLEDGE THAT WE WILL EXERCISE OUR RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY TO VOTE IN EACH AND EVERY ELECTION - FROM DOG CATCHER, TO SCHOOL BOARD, TO MAYOR TO ATTORNEY GENERAL, TO PRESIDENT - MIDTERM AND PRIMARY.

This is the most serious time ever in the history of this country.  We are faced with the threat of losing what little democracy there is  remaining at the hands of a maniacal fool, who has made cheating an art, and lying a game - and thinks he can still get away with murder as he threatened during his campaign during 2016.  WE must not sit aside and allow this to happen without a fight. 

OUR BLACK MIDTERM VOTES MATTER; OUR RIGHTS AS WOMEN MATTER; OUR LIVES AS BLACK PEOPLE MATTER.  If it wasn't important, they wouldn't be working so hard to keep us from it.  And we have to work triply hard to make sure they don't prevail!  

THAT SAID, FIND OUT WHO'S RUNNING IN YOUR STATE AND SUPPORT THEM, AND COALESCE WITH THOSE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE WORKING TO MAKE SURE OUR VOTES COUNT.

I WILL BE SHARING POLLS, FUND RAISERS AND NEWS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.

WE HAVE A LOT TO DO TO MAKE SURE WE PREVAIL AND T-RUMP AND HIS MISCREANTS LOSE BY A LANDSLIDE:

I JUST RECEIVED THIS FROM CHUCK SCHUMER - D/NY TODAY:

From: Chuck Schumer for Senate via Daily Kos <campaigns@dailykos.com>

Date: Tue, Aug 23, 2022 at 6:01 PM

Subject: SIGN NOW: Support our Democratic Senate Majority >>

To: <gloriadulanwilson@gmail.com>

Chuck Schumer has one question for you: Do you support the Democratic Senate Majority? YES NO Gloria, I just want to ask you one question: do you support our Democratic Senate Majority? YES NO Our Democratic Senate Majority — even though it’s razor-thin — has gotten a lot done recently: The first major gun safety bill in decades (the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act) The largest expansion of benefits for veterans since 1991 (the PACT Act) Huge investments in U.S. manufacturing and science (the CHIPS and Science Act) The most comprehensive climate bill Congress has ever passed (the Inflation Reduction Act) And we confirmed Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, helping to make our nation’s highest court a little more representative of America. It wasn’t easy — and MAGA Republicans put up roadblocks wherever they could. And it’s made it all the more clear that we MUST maintain our Senate Majority in November. With just a few months to go until Election Day, I need your input to make sure we win. So please answer this one question first: TAKE THE ONE-QUESTION SURVEY Do you support our Democratic Senate Majority? YES NO I’ll be blunt: If Republicans gain just one seat this November, we will lose. We’ll lose our majority — and with it, our ability to continue our momentum on the issues that matter most. Extreme MAGA Republicans have already hinted that they’re ready to pursue a nationwide abortion ban, roll back climate progress, undo voting protections, and further undermine our democracy. Defending every seat we have — and gaining more — will strengthen our advantage and allow us to continue passing urgently needed legislation. As we get closer and closer to Election Day, I need to know where you stand, Gloria. Do you support Democrats? Take The Poll Sincerely, Chuck Schumer Paid for by Friends of Schumer.

STACEY ABRAMS AND REV. RAFAEL WARNOCK NEED OUR HELP: Georgia is the #1 battle ground state in the US in 2022's MIDTERM ELECTION.

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All!1

 

This a wake up call to all BLACK VOTERS, as well as all DEMOCRATS  in GEORGIA - ALL EYES ARE ON YOU!  YES YOU!  IT'S TIME TO SHOW US WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!  

The January 6 Hearings have been a real eye opener in giving us a glimpse of what America could become if we don't get out and vote.  Even with all the evidence, they are still trying to make their nefarious plan to install a dictator in America a reality.  CAN YOU BE BULLIED BY T-RUMP'S MAGA MAGGOTS? or ARE YOU DEVOTED TO MAKING SURE THAT YOUR VOTES COUNT NO MATTER WHO IS TRYING TO PUSH YOU AROUND AND DEPRIVE YOU OF YOUR RIGHTS?  THEN NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, GEORGIA!!

If our votes weren't important, they wouldn't be working so hard to deprive us of them by passing laws, gerrymandering, and putting up straw dogs to draw off our votes.  If our candidates weren't so pivotal, they wouldn't be going overboard to try to block their winning by trying to cut down on the number of polling places in our communities!!

STACEY ABRAMS & REV. RAPHAEL WARNOCK DESPERATELY NEED YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR VOTES!! (If you're in Florida, of course, it's VAL DEMINGS!)

ICYMI:  I'm sharing with you a letter I received recently to support two key candidates in one of the most pivotal elections in the MIDTERM ELECTIONS from THE DAILY KOS. a leading activist newsletter:   Georgia is the number one battle ground state in the country this fall. In 2018, Stacey Abrams "lost" her bid for Governor by a mere 53,000 votes.  (Really, she really didn't lose, she actually did have the votes stolen from her by the current incumbent who was double dealing - instead of stepping down from his role in elections - i refuse to allow underhanded methods to called winning)  Of course you know that I've taken the letter sent me from THE DAILY KOS, and augmented it somewhat.    After "rolling up her sleeves," helping to turnout the vote in 2020 that "righteously defeated T-rump" and "helping Warnock win" the 2021 runoff election, she now is poised for a rematch with Brian Kemp. (LET'S MAKE SURE SHE WINS DECISIVELY THIS TIME!) Rev. Raphael Warnock has faced an onslaught of negative ads (read LIES) and is one of the Republicans #1 targets this election cycle.    We must step up and ensure that Rev. Warnock is re-elected.  ANY ONE WHO IS A TARGET OF THE REPUGLYCONS IS SOMEONE WE MUST SUPPORT!!  WE ARE NOT FOOLED BY NEGATIVE ADS - WE ALL KNOW THAT THESE ARE PLOYS TO CONFUSE THE IGNORANT - THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE US -WE ARE ALL WELL AWARE OF THE RACISTS THAT ARE BEHIND THE PROPAGANDA - GEORGIA LED THE WAY IN 2020 - GEORGIA WILL LEAD THE WAY AGAIN IN 2022!!   A very savvy and wise woman, MELANIE CAMPBELL, advised us "to all begin to develop a weekly habit of tithing to our Black and Democratic candidates" - and make it your business to send in your contribution to support their campaign.  We must FOLLOW THE OBAMA RULE!! OBAMA MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO CONTRIBUTE AS LITTLE OR AS MUCH AS WE COULD AFFORD - FROM as little as $3.00 to as much as  $175.00 A WEEK - over the next four months (or 16 weeks) per person, will rival any mega contribution, and make a huge difference in the funds they need to win!!  When we work together, we're a force to be reckoned with!     We already are the Critical Mass they (and we) need to win!!!   According to The Daily Kos:  "The good news and bad news is the campaign to elect Stacey Abrams as Georgia Governor and return Raphael Warnock to the U.S. Senate has already been paid for! The bad news is that it’s still in our wallets or purses!" Daily Kos is fundraising for organizations working to educate and mobilize frontline communities in Georgia ahead of the 2022 elections. Will you donate $5 today to fund organizations on the ground in Georgia? DONATE NOW After the 2020 elections, when Biden won the Peach state and Georgia voters sent two Democratic Senators to Washington, state Republicans passed some of the most suppressive voter laws since the Jim Crow era. Your donation will invest in organizations like The New Georgia Project, Black Voters Matter, and other organizations who are doing the necessary work to educate voters on the new barriers to cast a ballot and to turnout every single vote in November to make history once again. We’ve made so many strides across the state of Georgia, electing the first African American and Jewish senator from the state of Georgia. However, there is still so much work to do, but it will take a committed effort from people of good will to ensure that we hold on to the senate majority. Chip in $5 today and help support organizations on the ground in Georgia! DONATE NOW Yours in the struggle, Marquese Averett, Daily Kos Daily Kos, PO Box 70036, Oakland, CA, 94612.

Guest Post DAILY KOS: Sign if you agree: ABC, CBS, and NBC should air the January 6th House investigators’ hearings live and in prime time

STAY BLESSED

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All:

We all know that an angry mob of miscreants, hired and egged on by a deranged ersatz president, bent on wreaking havoc after having lost an election to a presidency that he never really served in the first place.   What is amazing is that there is an investigation into something that millions of people witnessed with their own eyes!  It's like having eyewitness news coverage and saying that the cameras weren't working; worse yet, that we didn't see what we saw with our own eyes. 

The investigation has now dragged on for over a year, garnering more evidence of what we already know to be true - the orange faced fool and his band of evil senators are complicit in an effort to overthrow the government, decertify and election, and start a fascist dictatorship by placing the loser back in the role of the presidency so that he could continue to destroy the country. 

In the spirit of the People's right to know, the Daily Kos is circulating a petition demanding that NBC, CBS, ABC TV Networks broadcast the hearings of the JANUARY 6 SELECT HOUSE COMMITTEE. 

As you can see, it was addressed to me - but I'm sharing it with you so you can sign it as well.  Just make sure you indicate that you are not "Gloria," voice your opinion and send it in.  We, the People of the United States of America have a right to know - hopefully these hearings will lead to dire consequences for those who were involved, from the bogus president on up.

So sign, already!!

Subject: Re: Sign if you agree: ABC, CBS, and NBC should air the January 6th House investigators’ hearings live and in prime time

"GLORIA," after a year of investigation, the January 6th House Select Committee will hold a series of high-profile public hearings about its findings this coming June. The hearings are expected to provide evidence that Donald Trump and his co-conspirators helped coordinate the assault on our democracy in order to prevent Joe Biden from taking office. Our best defense against MAGA/MAGGOT militants' attempts to rewrite history is the unvarnished truth. We need broadcast news networks to prioritize the public interest by airing the hearings. Sign the petition: ABC, CBS, NBC, and other broadcast networks must televise the January 6th House Select Committee Hearings. ADD YOUR NAME Keep fighting, Monique Teal, Daily Kos P.S. Read more about why we're urging news networks to air the hearings in full, both live and in prime time, below. GLORIA, sign the petition: ABC, CBS, NBC, and other broadcast networks must televise the January 6th House Select Committee Hearings. ADD YOUR NAME Like many, if not most, Americans, you probably remember watching in horror as insurrectionists attempted a violent coup on January 6, 2021 that left 5 people dead, and hundreds more injured. We remember the nooses and guillotines erected on the lawn, paramilitary teams with zip ties entering the Capitol building, Trump supporters rifling through Nancy Pelosi's office and House chambers, and how close violent extremists were to Mike Pence and members of Congress. We remember it because broadcast news rightfully covered the violent, racist mob for hours. These networks knew that the public had a right to witness the day’s horrific events with our own eyes. Every one of us has a right to be informed about what happened on January 6th, 2021 – and to participate in any calls for accountability. The House Select Committee that has spent nearly a year investigating the attack will expose every facet of the assault against our democracy and Constitution. We need broadcast news networks to once again prioritize the public interest. Sign the petition: ABC, CBS, NBC, and other broadcast networks must televise the January 6th House Select Committee Hearings. ADD YOUR NAME The Capitol siege was not simply a one-off event. The far-right extremists who still have not backed down from their belief that the election was stolen intend to keep attempting to overturn our democratic system until they succeed. MAGA(MAGGOT) spin doctors (read: LIARS) have used their echo chambers to rewrite (DISTORT) history and soften the public images of traitors to our nation. The 2022 midterms are barreling forward. Every single state has to contend with Big Lie candidates (WHO ARE TRYING EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK TO BLOCK OUR VOTES), and determine whether we'll allow more traitors and extremists to hold public office. A strong democracy needs an informed public. And especially today – when our political climate is marked by disinformation and distractions – the only way to cut through the noise is with the absolute, unvarnished truth. Sign the petition: ABC, CBS, NBC, and other broadcast networks must televise the January 6th House Select Committee Hearings.
