Monday 7/31 Call to Action

1. Things have gotten quieter on the Russia investigation front, but the senate's August recess is coming up in two weeks, and that could give the president an opportunity to take steps toward stopping the investigation into Russian interference in the election.  Let's ask our senators to request that they cosponsor Republican Lindsey Graham's bill, requiring judicial review of any attempt to do so.

2. Let's keep our eye on health care.  Lindsay Graham loses the points he gained from #1 for his attempt to get a health care repeal bill that can get to 50 votes in the senate.

3. You may be surprised to hear that the White House is a bit chaotic, despite decisive and effective leadership from the top down.
