7/2 Call to Action

We marched and rallied.  I saw Richard Painter and Andy Slavitt at the Tax March.  Thousands were at the march to Keep Families Together in Minneapolis.

1. If you haven't already, let's call to tell senators that the integrity of the Supreme Court must be maintained for the Mueller investigation.  "Never before has the selection of a Supreme Court nominee been so thoroughly compromised by the President’s profound personal interest in appointing a judge the President can count on to protect the President. This is DEFCON 1 for the rule of law in this country."

2. I'm going to call today and tell Senators and Representatives that I think NATO and the WTO are important, and they aren't the root of our economic problems.  Trump has been threatening to withdraw from both of them, threatening to upend the Western World Order.  It's especially suggesting of Putin's influence.

3. Keep watching family separations.  Trump ran a program testing zero tolerance starting July, 2017.  Tell your representatives: No Camps!

On top of that, Trump is talking about limiting the US asylum policy.
