Action: No Supreme Court Justice. No Skimpy COVID Relief

 

NO SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. NO SKIMPY COVID RELIEF.

Background

Are you experiencing whiplash trying to keep up with Trump’s gyrations?  

While in the hospital, Trump tweeted that the country needs another stimulus package. Yesterday, he shut down negotiations until after the election. As of this writing, he has offered to sign slivers of COVID relief, including a second $1,200 stimulus check to voters. 

Pelosi dismissed the gambit. “All the President wants is his name on check.”

We need a stimulus package and we don’t need a Supreme Court Justice before the election. So call your Members of Congress.  And then turn to election work. 

We have 28 days left. As President Obama said, “Whatever you’ve done so far is not enough.” 

If you are working on the elections, increase your load. If you haven’t started yet, join in now.

Indivisible Oregon adopted two states, Arizona and Georgia.  Ballots dropped in Arizona yesterday. Georgians already have begun voting. 

Democrats in these states need to help get out the vote and persuade undecided voters. Action #3 has phonebanking and phonebank training options. Letters to voters continues until Oct. 17  Let’s go.
