Make America America Again!
Run for office- the 2018 elections are less than a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected whatâs to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes itâs a Ward officer. Youâll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Todayâs 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.
And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases itâs the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

You Got To Run!
Credit Racist Elf and the DOJ for this stunt. Ironic that it happened outside Rubios office?? Orange Hitler and this fool want to make it clear; black and brown undocumented Americans are NOT welcome here.
Hopefully Dems can negotiate something to restore DACA in the impending Govt. shutdown issueâŚthat happens Friday, right?
@maricaibo said it all but Iâll add one thingâit feels really, really good to be part of the fight. A lot of folks who just arenât activist types will still applaud you. And in my experience, most normal Republicans are pretty dispirited. At any rate, I helped a local district justice candidate, or at least my efforts didnât actually hurt him, because he crushed a much better financed opponent. Huge wins in my area across the board, including historic wins at the county level where we hadnât won a row office in 150 years. Iâm telling you, be part of this. Donât be cynicalâthat never won a fight yet. If everyone shows up we can do this.
I love the smell of the Authoritarian State in the morning.
Smells like horse shit.
Iâm skeptical that anyone was âsentâ.
More likely a Customs employee was either on a job in the area, or thought he was being a smartass by âbuzzing the towerâ.
Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.
âNice little demonstration youâve got here; be a shame if anything happened to it!â P.S. With very few exceptions (roadblocks near to border crossings, international ports of entry), CBP has ZERO jurisdiction in the interior of this country. This was a cheap attempt to intimidate the protestors, either officially sanctioned or some wise-ass âcowboyâ employees. Disgraceful in either case.
Activists on the scene â where some are in the middle of a week-long fast â said the action was an attempt by CBP agents to intimidate protesters advocating for a âcleanâ DREAM Act and protections for recipients of so-called Temporary Protected Status, thousands of whom now face deportation.
I totally believe boarder patrol would do this on purpose as a scare tactic. They're even considered jerks by *other* law officers. They parked themselves outside courthouses in CA and were arresting domestic violence victims or other non-immigration cases *in courthouses* and judges had to *repeatedly* tell them to stop.does anyone, other than me. remember when the slogan in FLORIDA wasâŚâWill the last AMERICAN leaving MIAMI, please bring the flagââŚthis was when the CUBANS were coming in, by the hundredsâŚthey now own MIAMI , and fly the CUBAN flagâŚits interesting how âtimeâ changes attitudes.
would be a shame, if they took litlle Mario away.
Well if Rubio just keeps a water bottle next to his lips they should have no problem recognizing him.
Itâs a helluva note when the GOVERNMENT of the UNITED STATES intimidates and harasses itâs citizens. Citizens who are exercising their rights under the US Constitution.
You really need to have more caps in your comments. It helps to get your point across.
FIFY: black and brown Americans are NOT welcome here.
Yeah, but these are Republicans weâre talking about here. I wouldnât put much past them, even Rube-ee-ohâŚ
I hate the term undocumented alien. It sounds like some guy who left his wallet in his hotel room. The correct term is illegal alien, with the emphasis on illegal. The protesters were lucky the ICE truck just drove by. It should have stopped and check for illegal or criminal aliens.
Jack-booted thugs are cool now, I see.
Those numbers do not add up. That would leave fewer voters for Hillary than for the Orange Shitgibbon, and that did not happen.
The concept of corporations as persons was called a legal fiction and used as an economic tool until the Roberts Court, which seems to have lost the ability to distinguish fiction from fact, as amply demonstrated by their dismantling of voting rights enforcement as outdated and unnecessary.
Thatâs the key, all right.
