Larry Cohen has the kind of "fire in the belly" that inspires, inspires, inspires. This motivates me, and I want to see this kind of fight for workers' rights across the country and with other fields:

Here's the sample letter that gets sent to your representatives.

Watch the video to find out why then call 1-888-516-5820 to connect to your Senator's office.

When you are connected say:

Hello, my name is _____ and I am a constituent. I am calling to ask the Senator not to pass the FAA Reauthorization Bill with the unrelated labor provision that would gut collective bargaining rights for aviation and rail workers. This has no place in a bill for funding of aviation safety, heath and security. Get it out of the bill or don't pass it. Thank you.

This morning I got a txt from Team Blue about our President drafting and implementing a US amendment to the constitution to clean up ethics issues and term limits for the US Supreme Court. I was like: “Yeah, I’m on your side Joe, Let’s Go Team Blue!”

I’m bumping this ages old thread by Atomiczombie that is ripe with posts made years ago that reflect the challenges people face everyday in America: Police brutality, brutal treatment of those who migrate and immigrate to the US, problematic institutional issues that are still current today with Wall Street, Banking entities, Tax evasion by the so-called wealthy (t—p, et al), and of course at the bottom of the ‘swamp’ is all the GOP elected officials who make laws and decisions in the best interest of themselves and the rich who don’t give two hoots about the ordinary citizen, big pharmaceutical interest or PAC’s whose dark interests want your money to keep tearing you down so they can ‘rule the world’ (tears for fears reference).

We need a tsunami of voters who will hurtle us past the dark interests of those who continue to tear down our country and violate democracy.

I hope new members, or members still around, enjoy reading this thread. Thank you to all the members here who posted years ago.

Remember: Freedom — it’s what we must fight for every day, every year and in every election cycle in our country. Freedom from violence, freedom from organized oppression, freedom in our personal lives and freedom from fraud, and freedom from dark interests who only care about lining their pockets with your hard earned money. Don’t let them win. Support Democracy. Support Freedom.
