  • Senate vote on Trump guilt needs a secret ballot
    1/24/21 Senate Republicans know that Trump deserves to be convicted , but they are still frightened of crossing Trump and his base. Only 17 GOP senators are needed to convict, and the Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, has told his caucus to vote their conscience. A secret ballot would allow them to do this. The senators are not only witnesses to the insurrection, they are also victims, being forced to flee and hide for several hours. Trump's speech to the mob of his supporters is public, as is his subsequent message "We love you, you are special". His months of whipping up the alt-right to believe that he actually won the 2020 election is public, as is his encouragement of the motto, "Stop the Steal". “The mob was fed lies,” McConnell said on the Senate floor on the last full day of Trump’s presidency. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. More and more evidence is coming to light that he or his staff was in touch with the leaders of the crowd, and helped them to plan; also, that he was behind the slow response of law enforcement, especially of calling up the National Guard. The Senate will convict Trump, if they are allowed to vote by secret ballot. Please sign and disseminate the petition: https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/senate-vote-on-trump And write to Senate Majority Leader Schumer asking him to introduce a motion for a secret ballot. Charles Schumer (D- NY) www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/email-chuck Dear Senator Schumer, Please introduce a motion to have the verdict on Trump’s guilt or innocence determined by secret ballot. This is customary in jury trials. It would give GOP senators the right to vote their conscience, rather than giving in to the pressure to vote the party line for acquittal. Our democracy is on the line.

  • Re-brand House and Senate Republicans as PUTIN Republicans
    Putin wakes up each day thrilled that House and Senate Republicans are regurgitating his disinformation talking points about Ukraine and the 2016 election and the Bidens. These complicit Putin Republicans are helping to sow discord within our democracy resulting in mistrust of our institutions and the electoral process. Until proven otherwise, it's time to re-brand each House and Senate member as a PUTIN REPUBLICAN - MAKING RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN! Perhaps rank and file Republicans will find their voices and courage to stand for the party of Reagan and Lincoln again. Let the restoration process begin with this step.

  • Investigate Rep. Devin Nunes
    President Trump’s web of lies and corruption is continuing to grow -- and the latest to be implicated is California Representative Devin Nunes. Rep. Nunes -- ranking member of House Intelligence Committee and one of President Trump’s most aggressive supporters in Congress -- is under suspicion of meeting with former Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin in Vienna last year. The purpose of this alleged covert meeting? To obtain information on Trump’s political rival, Vice President Joe Biden. If true, these new accusations would implicate Rep. Nunes in the crime at the heart of Trump’s impeachment inquiry -- and raise new questions as to how deep the Trump administration’s corruption goes. Rep. Nunes is threatening and attempting to discredit news outlets like CNN that reported this story. Congress must thoroughly and expeditiously investigate these claims. Rep. Nunes, who has access to classified and top-secret information, has already lied and sought to derail the House’s impeachment investigation -- and we can’t let him cover up his own potential role in Trump’s scheme. Add your name to tell Congress: the American people deserve a democracy where elected officials are held to the highest ethical standards -- and those who fail to meet such standards are held accountable.

  • Stop Street Racing in SW Bakersfield!
    On Sunday, November 24th, an innocent woman was killed in a deadly car crash -- due to STREET RACING. Despite numerous calls to the Bakersfield Police Department, emails and pleas to elected officials as well as heightened media/stories on the issue over the last few months, STREET RACING still occurs NIGHTLY in SW Bakersfield. More than 1000 cars have been known to gather at Kohls on Gosford, where it seems to begin. Where is the response from our city leaders? Why can't city leaders work collaboratively with businesses and shopping center owners to put in preventive measures? Please sign this petition to indicate silence is not acceptable and this type of street racing has to be addressed and stopped. How many innocent people will be killed? Waiting for new police cadets via Measure N funds is not an acceptable answer. Street racing like this is not acceptable! For more on this issue, see the column by Robert Price https://www.bakersfield.com/columnists/robert-price/robert-price-deafening-street-racing-has-southwest-bakersfield-residents-fed/article_b695f4a2-0710-11ea-b992-abc180cfd4be.html PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND SHARE WITH OTHERS!

  • Ban flavored e-cigarettes in Loudoun county
    Parents demand immediate action to remove FLAVORed e-cigarets. Our children are not guinea pigs. We can not let them be the first generation who will suffer lifelong diseases related to vaping. We are the only one who can help them today to protect them from child targeting marketing including chocolate milk flavors with the same amount of nicotine in one package as is in a pack of cigarettes. Loudoun county community is known for its clean air, strong middle-class families and health-oriented lifestyle. “Seven states in America have gone all-in on e-cigarette bans. Massachusetts outdid earlier vape bans in New York and Michigan by banning the sale of all vape products—not just flavored ones. States from Rhode Island to Montana to Oregon are enacting their own bans as more consider similar regulation.” Let’s join this movement.

  • Mitch McConnell should recuse himself
    Mitch McConnell MUST recuse from participation in the Trump Impeachment trial. It is inappropriate for him to be in a position to influence who testifies and how the proceedings of the trial would take place. He has publicly stated that he will not be fair in his Oath of Office duties. He also has a conflict of interest where his wife is directly employed by, and, owes her job in the President’s Cabinet directly to Trump. A U.S. Senator in this situation with any integrity would recuse oneself from participating in the trial of the President, as he cannot fairly speak for the people.

  • Three Kings Day: A National Holiday for all Latinos
    Growing up in a Latino household, after the holidays we would always celebrate El Dia de Los Tres Reyes Magos, aka The Three Kings Day. It is a tradition widely celebrated throughout the Caribbean and the Americas. As the years go by, different ethnic groups have the right to celebrate their cultures and traditions. Nevertheless, it is our time for us Latinos to have our own holiday days off.
