When is enough enough? We wait...for mid-terms, for Mueller, for Repubs to turn, and on and on

while more and more damage is done to our wonderful country and all its non-deplorable citizens.

It's Father's Day, my dad is no longer with us. So all day I've thought about what my life-long Democratic dad would think about any actions or lack thereof I've taken since Jan. 2017.

When is enough enough for us to take to the streets, to D.C.?!

But, we wait for mid-terms, for Mueller, etc. How many children are going to die, be permanently traumatized etc. before mid-terms (assuming the blue wave and there's no guarantee there)? How long will it take for Mueller to bring impeachable charges for trump? Will Rosenstein bring the report of charges to Congress (that's not written in law). Will we have the majority? Will impeachment take place?

I've called my Senators and Reps so many times, I have a notebook full of documentation.

Even some Russians will take to the streets against Putin, and they are much more vulnerable than us when they protest.

I'm a single woman in my 60's and I'm ready. Am I alone here at DU?

And we GOTV.

We can do all that NOW!


You can phone bank voters from home.


Go to an Indivisible meeting
Contact Majority54
Contact the Progressive Turnout Project.

By showing up, we can affect the outcome in Nov.

Something you can do on your own-

Wear a shirt saying
“Immigrants are us”
Or
“We are all immigrants”
Or
“Fox News lies”


And go for a walk. Go to a mall or shopping center or local landmark. Wear it each time you’re out in public.! Demonstrate our outrage.

When Obama won, I tore them up & used them as rags. I'm going to buy this one today.

I like Turnout PACs “We are all immigrants “ with the Statue of Liberty in the background.


T-shirts are a good way to illustrate that people care, and a good way to reach people unfiltered by the for-profit media.

Campaigns, help GOTV efforts. That's how we win and take back our country. Anything else is nonsensical
