As Trump/MAGA accelerate their attack on American freedoms and values, it is painfully clear that there exists two Americas. One is Trump, his MAGA crowd, his "fall in line" GOP loyalists and some unknown number of voters who believed Trump would be better for their future. Many of these folks mistakenly think Trump/MAGA is just fine for the future of America. The other America is we the Dems and Libs, who's values and work have built a modern, thriving, more humane America over the past 80 years. Make no mistake, It is this America, our America, that Trump is relentlessly attacking on his retribution campaign to kingship and his shredding of the parts on the Constitution that would limit his powers. He must be stopped. Across the liberal alliance in America, and this goes well beyond party loyalty, we need to stand up for and extoll the virtues of our America. We have accomplished so much. We need to crow about it relentlessly. We need to educate or re-educate enough of those stuck in the other America, that their future well-being is with us not Trump/MAGA. We must not be fooled by Trump's exaggerated megaphone. His plans, his agenda and his BBB are all losers for America's future. It is time WE stood up, put aside our fears, stop our self-flagelation game about losing the working class voters and claim the upper hand again. Let's go America we can do this.

We have to speak up. Unrelentingly.

Use this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”
