Day 388:

Gun Control Or Shut the Fuck Up!

I think Marc Ruffalo said it best “Prayers without accordant action are silent lies told to oneself, heard by no God, amounting to nothing.”

Ban Bump Stocks
Ban Assault Rifles
Ban Supressors
Ban High Capacity Magazines

Universal Health Care (including mental health)
Limit how many guns you can buy a year
Make a 3 month waiting period for guns
No one convicted of a felony can own a gun
No one convicted of domestic abuse can own a gun
No one adjudicated mentally unfit can own a gun
No more gun show loop hole
Strict licencing requirements including mandatory training, trigger locks and gun safes to own a gun
No one under the age of 21 can own a gun
End ban on gun research
Minimum age to join the army raised to 21
Lower voting age to 16

Gun control now, or shut the fuck up!

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”:

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!
