VOTE BLUE! - its the Home Stretch and we can WIN BIG!


We are in the last phase
of 
the 2016 national election. 

THE FUTURE IS AT STAKE
AS AT NO TIME BEFORE.


That's right...Donald Trump is NOT who we are. And that includes his TrumpTrain of weak-kneed GOP followers that created their candidate and that are afraid to stand up their candidate.

VOTE THEM OUT! 
NO MORE OBSTRUCTION!


Right now, we have to do everything we can think of to help the Democrats to gain the House majority in order TO PASS THE ESSENTIAL LEGISLATION TO AVOID RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING. 

Here are some basic things almost anyone CAN DO:
  1. Sign up to volunteer to give as much time as possible to the local Democratic campaign organizations 
  2. Where registration to vote is still possible, get involved  
  3. Next, increased voter turn-out is A KEY TO VICTORY – spread the word as widely as possible, every BLUE vote is important; explain that 3rd Party votes and NOT VOTING = Trump votes! 
  4. On election day, help in whatever way you can – make calls, driving voters to their polling places, etc.



I’m very hopeful that we will have a Democratic President elected with an unquestionable MANDATE.

I’m also hopeful that we will have a Democratic majority Senate, in spite of the vast dark money supporting Republican candidates by the Koch network and others.

IF we get a Democratic Majority in the Senate, it is very likely that a Supreme Court, with at least one new member approved during the next Congress, will reverse the utterly partisan decisions and general direction of the Scalia Court. Perhaps the Court can take unlimited individual and corporate donations and spending out of the American political process!


VOTE FOR THOSE WHO ARE ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED TO PASS POLICIES 
ESSENTIAL TO SUFFICIENTLY SLOW GLOBAL WARMING.



THE FUTUTRE IS AT STAKE. 
BE AN ACTIVIST. 
GIVE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU CAN.

TURN CONGRESS BLUE! Or face more obstruction, fewer basic rights!


Are you looking forward to our gov't FINALLY getting the POSITIVE work done that had been blocked by the GOP? 


Or do you want MORE YEARS of OBSTRUCTION 2 POSITIVE POLICY 4 our country?

The current Senate, has a 54 seat Republican majority. 

Democrats need to gain five seats in order to a have a majority in the Senate.

The assumption six months ago was that it would be easy for the Democrats to gain a majority in the Senate since there are 24 seats currently held by Republicans up for election compared to only 10 seats currently held by Democrats. Current surveys indicate that there are approximately 8 Republican battleground (close contest) seats. There is only one Democratic seat that is also a battleground state (Nevada). (Refer to Cook Political Report-Senate Race Ratings)


The race for the Democrats to gain five seats is closer than it seemed six months ago. Why?

Given the very weak position of the Republican presidential candidate, the Koch money network announced months ago that they would funnel their vast resources to Senate and House seats. Since the Citizens United Supreme Court decision and the Federal SpeechNOW decision created the likelihood that very wealthy corporations and individuals are contributing many billions of (dark) dollars to the attack ad media campaigns, the unexpected competitiveness of the race for the Senate majority is probably due to the result of corporate and individual wealth defending their economic positions by trying to buy a Republican majority Senate.

The importance of a Senate majority is, of course to pass or defeat legislation generally speaking, but ALSO to approve new members for the Supreme Court

A Democratic Senate Majority would likely approve a Supreme Court that could:

  • reverse Citizens United and other decisions heavily advantaging the wealthy and powerful AND 
  • protect or extend rights decisions like those affecting civil rights, voting, etc., and, of course, Roe v. Wade.

Completely compelling reasons VOTE BLUE 2016:

  1. If the incoming Administration and Congress does not pass effective, truly meaningful legislation to reduce warming gas admissions, we almost surely face runaway global warming.
    • we need the U.S. to reduce emissions and try to reduce CO2 already in the atmosphere
    •  only the U.S. can take the leadership role in helping China and other developing nations to radically reduce their emissions also.
  2.  If we do not elect a Democratic President and a Democratic majority Senate: 
    • appointments to the Supreme Court are extremely unlikely to reverse Citizens United, etc. 
    •  Roe v. Wade may well be reversed 
  3. If we cannot elect a majority in the House that is willing to pass meaningful legislation on all of the crucial outstanding issues gridlocked by the current Republican House majority - we will: 
    • not onl not get legislation to slow global warming 
    • but we are likely to get stuck in a low interest economy 
    • and not invest in the essential new infrastructure – producing vast job growth and overall economic growth, among other things. 
  4. The GOP proposes "...to level the international playing field by lowering the corporate  tax  rate  to  be  on  a  par  with,  or  below,  the  rates  of  other  industrial  nations." MEANING: They propose tax reductions for the wealthy and for corporations which will increase the burden for the rest of the population. It will also reduce funding for regulatory agencies such as the EPA and the FDA! (Refer to Alternet's full article listing 50 outrageous extreme right-wing proposals in the 2016 Republican Party Platform)



This election is our LAST CHANCE TO AVOID THE WORST for humanity!

Vote for those who are ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED to pass policies essential to sufficiently SLOW GLOBAL WARMING!




Everyone can help protect the future for our children, grandchildren...



...this is no time for complacency.
