Monday again? The time, it flies by so quickly. This coming week is special. Decisions made this week could affect us for years to come. Supreme Court pick, American Health Care Act, investigation into Russia and Trump. Big things are coming to a head. It's time to eat your Wheaties and get on the phone, make some emails, visit your legislators in person. Let's get going!
1. Neil Gorsuch for SCOTUS. This is a repeat from last week but I think it bears repeating. Call the senators and remind them to prevent this from happening. Senator Klobuchar warrants extra attention. Check out this post from Robert Reich to give you some pointers for your calls:

On Monday, the House Intelligence Committee holds the first hearing on the Russian election hacking. There are some big questions that need to be answered: https://www.nytimes.com/…/what-to-ask-about-russian-hacking…
Let’s call members of the Committee and tell them the questions we feel are important.

3. Local Government. Here is a message from Manny at Indivisible Minnesota Local. This week's legislative schedule includes a number of omnibus bills. An omnibus bill is a large bill that includes several different issues under one general topic such as education. It's usually a funding and policy bill, contains many pages, and is often comprised of several individual bills. Legislators often say the smaller bills are "rolled into" the larger one.
While typically used for non-controversial technical provisions, these bills have increasingly been used to hide more contentious ideas. For a sense on what bills are up this week, check the thread on Indivisible Minnesota Local's Twitter account. @IndivisibleMNLo

Today is the first day of spring. Don't let this crazy administration rob from you the wonder of this glorious season. The flowers, the insects, the birds, the green, the warm, they will all be returning!!
