CNN producer @gregorywallace tried to attend day 2 of @EPA summit on chemicals in drinking water today and was turned away again



I hope CNN can find their cajones. They need to push back legally as well. Public meetings need to be covered publically.


THIS IS NOT NORMAL, ACCEPTABLE, EXCUSABLE.

1. Time for the press to start practicing some civil disobedience.

Make them arrest you for practicing your constitutional right to cover these meetings.
Push needs to come to shove and it needs to begin soon or we will loose everything.

2. This what happens when you give an ahole billions of free campaign coverage.

They got their ratings and now they see the writing was on the wall all along.

3. So why don't they

faux news it. Come up with crazy shit you think they’re doing or they appear to be doing. No apologies no corrections. You can surmise. You can say anything starting with “ in what appears to be an attempt to… “.

4. NOT OK.

We are slipping fast people. I suggest this weekend we start to get this 'muther' off the ground w flash protests etc. Contact your local "Indivisible". Pack a jump bag. Make plans now for what to do if caught off guard and a protest happens out of the blue. Set your intentions today to "soldier up" as "Citizen Soldiers". If nothing else, think of the next generations. Think of the past generations. Think of yourselves and the family around you. Something is about to happen and we need everybody to get into the crowd/outside. If you need any special gear, round it up now. Whatever your objection/fear has been up until now, meditate on it today. This may be a big weekend.
Believe it or not, Getting outside w others is a lot of fun. Great way to make new friends, and get support. Support the folks w signs by standing with them. Together we can get this thing stopped so we don't lose the greatest< THE GREATEST, country in the world. Second best citizen rights aren't good enough. FIGHT THIS FIGHT NOW, bc if we lose this stuff..(Like healthcare) just think of how long civil rights will take to relegislate. The gop filibusters human rights. (see abortion..oh gods help us.)
Here's what. Figure out a good slogan. Witty is great! Straightforward ok too. Remember, don't go overboard bc it can take you out bc you may not feel that "energetic/brave" on the day we are called to march. When you are ready, Go.
***If you won't do it for yourselves bc you're anxious, think of this. We Are ALL Anxious. But, we are the salvation of the is country and we will be remembered as the generation that fought the second Revolutionary War, without firing a shot.
Check w your lawyer. ASK them what he can erase from your record if you get caught up in a disorderly just for sitting somewhere holding up the person next to you,(by holding their hand.). Most states have expungement statutes. Check with your lawyer. if it's a misdemeanor ALMOST always it can be erased. Often right off the bat w deffered sentences at probation. Doesn't even go on your record. It's worth a call to your family lawyer.
Point being, start knocking down the objections that you use to stop you from going outside to a rally.
Just all an uninformed opinion on DU. The holiday is coming, remember what it's for.
