Yesterday,
President Biden gave a speech in Philadelphia where he acknowledged the
all out assault on voting rights we have experienced since the “Big Lie” began - and as some states work tirelessly to implement Jim Crow-era voter suppression laws.
President
Biden reaffirmed his commitment to restore voting rights. But a
commitment is not enough when the stakes are this high. We need a
strategy.
In his20 minute speechthe
President never mentioned the filibuster once, despite the massive
threat it poses to voting rights and other key legislation.
The
Biden administration has already used its power to push massive pieces
of legislation, such as pandemic relief and infrastructure spending
packages.
We’re
calling on the President to put that same power and momentum behind
TRULY protecting our voting rights by working to pass HR1 and HR4 by any
means - even if it means ending the Senate filibuster.
We’ve
taken it to the streets and to the press - now it’s time for all of us
to pick up our phones, call our Senators and DEMAND the Senate pass the
For The People Act as a means to protect our voting rights.
It’s a Hot Call Summer ya’ll! Call your Senators today (and every day!) to demand they protect our freedom to vote: 888-453-3211.

HELLO TO ALL MY BROTHERS, SISTERS AND ALLIES!!
I
HAD TO ADD THIS TAG AT THE BOTTOM, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ONLY FIGHTING
T-RUMP AND HIS RACIST COHORTS, BUT THE MEANSTREAM NEWS MEDIA AS WELL
All across America BLACK PEOPLE ARE MOBILIZING AGAINST THE RACIST MOVES TO DEPRIVE US OF OUR RIGHTS TO VOTE!!
PLEASE
BE AWARE THAT THE NEWS MEDIA IS SPENDING MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT AND
COVERING T-RUMP, THAN THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE PROGRESS AND ISSUES
CONCERNING BLACK VOTERS AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY
THIS IS PROPAGANDISTIC BRAINWASHING AND MUST STOP!!
WE
MUST DEMAND THEY STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTION A SELF
FULFILLING PROPHECY - EVEN GOING SO FAR AS TO MAKE UNFAVORABLE
COMPARISONS BETWEEN PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE ORANGE FACED FOOL DUMB
DONALD T-R/UMP
NO MATTER WHERE YOU/WE ARE IN THE U.S.
WE HAVE TO STAND OUR GROUND AND MAKE SURE WE SHOW OUR
ELECTED OFFICIALS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS
KUDOS TO OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS IN TEXAS!!
DO
NOT ALLOW YOURSELVES TO BE BRAINWASHED INTO THINKING WE ARE SO STUPID
THAT WE WILL ALLOW THE REPUGLYCONS TO BECOME A MAJORITY AGAIN THE WAY
THEY DID WITH THE TEA BAGGERS (PARTY)
TIME TO PUT OUR FOOT DOWN
TIME FOR THE MEDIA TO CALL IT FOR WHAT IT IS
RACIST, REVISIONIST, AND REPRESSIVE
SUPPORT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN NORTH CAROLINA,
TEXAS, PENNSYLVANIA, FLORIDA AND EVERYWHERE!!!
ASK
THE MEDIA WHY THEY ARE NOT INVESTIGATING THE MONEY THAT IS BEING PAID
TO REPUGLYCON SENATORS TO CONTINUE TO SUCK UP TO AND FOLLOW T-RUMP -
FOLLOW THE MONEY
THE
ONLY WAY AN ELECTED SENATOR WOULD VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION IS BECAUSE
HE OR SHE IS BEING PAID BIG BUCKS TO DO SO - THE MONEY IS MORE
COMPELLING THAN THE LOYALTY - ASK THE MEDIA WHY THEY AREN'T
INVESTIGATING THE SANITY AND STABILITY OF MARJORIE TAYLOR-GREENE?
ASK
THE MEANSTREAM MEDIA HOW IT IS THEY CAN COSIGN THE UNDERHANDED WAYS OF
T-RUMP AND MCCONNELL AS "WINNING" - WHEN IT IS PATENTLY
UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
WHY IS THE "OBJECTIVE MEDIA" NOT TELLING THE TRUTH?
WE
HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OUR PEOPLE AND CONSTITUENTS KNOW THE TRUTH
AND NOT ALLOW THEM OR T-RUMP OR MCCONNELL, OR THE RAPACIOUS REPUGLYCONS
(ERSATZ REPUBLICANS) GET AWAY WITH IT!!
EVERY BODY MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED, UNITED, AND READY TO
Of
the top five people who should have been already doing time in
Leavenworth - T-Rump, McConnell, Pence, DeVos, Cruz, Graham - Louis
DeJoy should have been thrown under the jail.
His
destruction of the US Postal Service, and continued destruction must be
stopped immediately if not sooner. It's a federal offense, as well as a
violation of our rights as Americans.
1
year ago, in May 2020, when it became apparent that T-rump hired him
deliberately to destroy the postal service, and to mail in voters, I
tried to circulate a petition to stop him from doing so. However, it
was apparent that Move-On, the organization through which I circulated
it, was not on the same page with me; so I didn't get the support they
promised to promulgate the petition in time to stop him from appointing
his own personal hatchet man. SEE BELOW: As I had predicted, under
T-Rump's orders, DeJoy immediately set about dismantling the United
States Postal Service.
What I don't understand is why it's taking more time to get rid of T-rump vermin, than it did for him to put them in place.
Why
can't we kick him to the curb? Why the debate? Why the so-called due
process in putting him out, when there was none when he was hired?
In
point of fact - we Dems must stop dancing to the repuglycon's music
and tune, and be much more aggressive in ridding ourselves of these
problems -
In other words: FIRE HIS ASS !!! AND THEN WE AMERICANS WILL SUE HIM.
Arrest T-rump for trying to over throw the government, and continued subversive activities. Why all this foot dragging!
President
Biden - issue an executive order to re-establish and strengthen the
VOTING RIGHTS ACT - we can still do a symbolic vote for John Lewis
Voting Rights Act; and George Floyd Police Reform, etc.
Do
an executive order to undo any and all executive orders instituted by
T-rump - and get the FBI and State Department to drag any and all
individuals who are complicitous with his nefarious efforts to destroy
and overthrow America. Stop allowing them to throw monkey wrenches in
due process - something we would not be able to do when the situation
was reversed.
Stop
playing 'Mr. and Ms. Nice Party/guy/gal! The Ball's in our court -
play to win. When you ask for my contribution, I want to make it's being
used to get rid of the muck and dreck left by the former Predator in
Chief.
And
let's stop putting Americans through torture and bogus medical
procedures. Make it possible for Stem Cell procedures to be covered by
MEDICARE AND MEDICAID - so that Americans can stop being violated by big
Pharma, and be able to heal from such deleterious diseases as
Arthritis. The rest of the world is using the procedure. Must we
always be on the late show with modern medical technology and coverage?
We need you to listen to us little people - not the pundits and so-called authorities.
That
said - by all means sign the petition - and any and all petitions that
speak to the dismantling of any and all things left behind by T-rump;
but demand the pols get up off it and get the job done.
USPS Update: The Senate voted to confirm two of Biden’s nominees to the Postal Service Board of Governors
Louis
DeJoy is unapologetic about his attempts to undermine the Postal
Service amid nationwide mail delays. With millions relying on the USPS
to get essential resources, we need real leadership in place.
So, Gloria, we need you and 37 top Democrats from PA to submit your response today:
Should Postmaster General Louis DeJoy be replaced?
Please submit your response to represent PA by midnight tonight.
First:
Louis DeJoy, the GOP mega-donor Trump appointed Postmaster General, put
forth policy changes that have slowed down mail delivery, raised
prices, and undermined the USPS' most basic services.
Then:
DeJoy started taunting Democrats, promising to put a decade-long plan
in place that would further slash through essential USPS services and
claiming he can't be removed. But that's not true, Gloria.
Now:
the Senate voted to confirm two of Biden’s nominees to the Postal
Service Board of Governors – the only governing body that can FIRE Louis
DeJoy! Now, President Biden needs to fill the third and final board
vacancy. This is the last step in the
process of putting the board in Democratic hands, allowing Democrats to
finally remove DeJoy, and putting a stop to widespread delays in mail
delivery.
With
millions of Americans relying on the Postal Service to get groceries,
medicine, and other vital resources during the pandemic, we can’t afford
to lose this vital institution – especially not now. That's why we need
15,000 grassroots Democrats to speak out before it's too late –
including you, Gloria.
Before 11:59 p.m., please let us know:
