This bill will go back to Congress. We'll have to write and call them also..... I recently wrote my congressman and told him, the government will have to find another way to pay for the military because if they are going to activate them to stop protestors then I'm not paying for them with my taxes.

I sure hope this multi-group action (phone bank) is a signal that the national groups are working more collaboratively and will soon graduate to long-range goal and strategy planning.

🍁 Elbows UP! 🏒

Most people will be celebrating Independence Day this long weekend, so there will be a lot of drinking.

Booze and protests are a volatile mix. There aren't a lot of protests scheduled on America's birthday for this reason.

Instead, the next major nationwide protest is being planned for mid July.

There are still some less confrontational protests planned for the 4th.

Bring signage to make your message and numbers passively visible to events you attend, such as 4th of July concerts, parades, bar-b-ques, and fireworks.

Wear T-Shirts with your own messaging written on them. Use a permanent black marker on white, yellow, orange, or pink material if you have to.

Don't give Trump the legal means to deploy troops through an excuse that there were riots.

Show the courts Trump is full of BS.

Republican Senator Murkowski just made a deal for a new clause in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill to increase Medicaid spending only for Alaska and Hawaii in exchange for her vote to support H.R.1.

This breaks Senate rules around favouritism. Because of this, H.R.1 has lost special protections, and now needs 60 votes to pass instead of 51. It has not passed.

Your pressure and demonstrations have raised awareness and ensured people like parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough do their jobs.

She saved the rest of us from a fast-tracked fiscal disaster.
