Issue of the week: 

The new Congress will face all sorts of critical issues (budget, debt ceiling, protecting Mueller’s investigation) and we need Nancy Pelosi as speaker right now.  She is making protecting democracy, equality, and healthcare her top priorities.  The Dems are already showing they know how to lead, govern, and provide oversite and we will continue to demand this.

The first thing we demand is that Congress ask for Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker’s recusal from overseeing Mueller’s investigation AND to pass legislation to protect Mueller’s investigation by adding it to the must pass spending bill.

Calls to congress 

“My name is [Name]. I am a constituent and I and live in ZIP code [number]. I am calling because I am deeply concerned about the rule of law in this country.  Trump’s forced resignation of Jeff Sessions and appointment of Matthew Whitaker is an attempt to go around the law. I ask that the Senator/Rep to 1) demand Whitaker’s recusal from the oversite of Mueller’s investigation 2) insist that legislation to protect Mueller’s Russia Investigation be added to the must pass spending bill.  Thank you.
