Trump Watch March 19 2018

Day 406:

Robber Barrons

Every time Exxon pays off a politician to deny global warming people die. Same is true for pollution from pesticides, dirty cars, NRA guns etc. Look how big pharma kills folks by raising prices on drugs, by pushing Oxy, by pushing people off insurance. All facilitated and allowed because of payoffs to congress. Look at all the suicides from bankruptcy from medical debt, or from bank crashes.

Just because these companies dont go out and nerve gas people doesn’t mean that they are not killing people. Although sometimes they do actually go kill people, just usually in other countries, or they have our military do it, or the CIA. Read your history better. A lot of what our government does is to secure the interests of big companies in other countries.

The right wing doesn’t want to unify the working class, they want to keep it fractured, so they are busy fighting over guns, gays, and god, while the super rich turn into the mega rich. Its a very old, and well tested strategy in America that has been used many times with many groups.

We have had extreme concentration of wealth before, it was called the gilded age, and it required strong government intervention to prevent the break down of society (the new deal). This is not a new problem, just the current version of it.

Tools of change:

Feel like this is all a bunch of bullshit? Want to do something about it?

Calling your government representative:

Call your Senator
Call your House Rep (Or use this spreadsheet)
Call your Governor
Call your Attorney General
Or try this website
Fax Congress here (free!)

You can also use 5Calls.org if you are having a hard time figuring out what to say.

Tell them in no uncertain terms that you want them to fight to stop Trump from doing these things. Tell them you will be watching them closely on how they vote, and will hold them accountable during the next election if they cave to Trump. You can also call other states congress people and threaten to donate to their opponent if they don’t do what you want.

Call the White House:

Call the “White House”:

Use this website to call one of Trump’s many properties he has not put into a blind trust yet, and let them know how you feel (be polite, they are workers just like us, but be firm).

Do a little Slacktivism:

Send Some Text Messages for progressive causes (I know it says textforbernie, but its for a range of progressive candidates) Or you can have your texts turned into faxes by the ResistBot

Go to a town hall and talk to your congress person in person:

Check when the next town hall is here

Monitor your congressperson:

Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.

See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.

Elections!

Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)

See if you have a special election in your area!
