[ACLU Action]<https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/gcfbaSSLcQBMSdHDY6ERToa1ZpIXEBsaaaaEO3tBMEDFVxaa?p=6 at xCzB2&j=mjbsd7v6w_lhfdq.Xth&q=W&2=>

Hi Garth -

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is threatening - in just three days - to shut down Oceti Sakowin, the largest encampment of water protectors and allied protesters opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Send a message to the Corps demanding that they back off from their plan to shut down Oceti Sakowin.<https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/gcfbaSSLcQBMSdHDY6ERToa1ZpIXEBsaaaaEO3tBMEDFVxaa?p=6 at xCzB2&j=mjbsd7v6w_lhfdq.Xth&q=a&2=>

Late last week the Corps issued notice to Dave Archambault II, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe chairman, that on December 5th they'll close public access to the land where the encampment is set up, and threatened "prosecution under federal, state, or local laws" of those who remain.

The Corps promised to create a "free speech zone" as an alternate protest location. That silences free speech - the area is too far away for the message to be heard.

You signed our petition calling on the Department of Justice to demilitarize Standing Rock. Now we need you to take the next step: let the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers know you won't stand for shutting down protesters.<https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/gcfbaSSLcQBMSdHDY6ERToa1ZpIXEBsaaaaEO3tBMEDFVxaa?p=6 at xCzB2&j=mjbsd7v6w_lhfdq.Xth&q=X&2=>

The Corps wrote in the notice that the decision to shut down "is necessary to protect the general public from the violent confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officials that have occurred in this area."

But the violence comes from a heavily militarized law enforcement response, which has called in "help" from over 76 different law enforcement agencies.

Public pressure matters - in the face of it, the governor of North Dakota just retracted his promise to block food and medical supplies from reaching the encampments.

Give the protesters the space to make their voices heard. Send a message now that enough is enough.<https://ms.clicks.actions.aclu.org/t/gcfbaSSLcQBMSdHDY6ERToa1ZpIXEBsaaaaEO3tBMEDFVxaa?p=6 at xCzB2&j=mjbsd7v6w_lhfdq.Xth&q=Y&2=>

How Obama could make it much harder for Trump to build his ?Muslim registry?

Obama suspended the Bush-era program Trump could use. Now he has the chance to dismantle it.

  1. How Obama could make it much harder for Trump to build his
     ?Muslim registry? (Richard Karch)


----------------------------------------------------------------------

We could all register as Muslims if it comes to that. The Danes pinned the Star of David to their clothes during the German Occupation:

If Trump implements a Muslim registry, all Americans should pledge to register as Muslims in solidarity.

We wish we could claim credit for this idea, but it actually comes from Trevor Noah on the Daily Show:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obRAYBt70SE

He mentions the idea at about 4:25 into this section.


But while he was making a point using humor, we decided to actually create a pledge.  

 
You can sign the pledge at www.MuslimRegistryPledge.org.

Hey folks,  The Senate is about to vote on a bill that would legalize fraud by allowing pharmaceutical companies to market drugs for uses not approved by the FDA, and monopolize life-saving drugs by extending the amount of time generics can be kept off the market for rare diseases.

I just signed a petition telling the Senate to stop this giveaway to Big Pharma.

Victory! President Obama just denied the permit for the Dakota Pipeline. The Army Corp of Engineers will not allow the pipeline to be drilled under the Missouri River. A big thank you to the 4,000 veterans who showed up at Standing Rock in solidarity with the Native Americans.
Will Trump reverse this action when he takes office? Trump has invested in the pipeline so the conflict of interest will be a big problem for him. More to come...

I just signed a petition to tell Walmart to end a discriminatory practice that is happening at three of its stores in Virginia. The stores are locking up only African American hair products.

It?s pretty ridiculous and awful. Can you sign the petition, too?

Four years ago, the Senate Intelligence Committee produced a 7,000-page report that the committee chair at the time, Dianne Feinstein, calls "a total expos? of the ineffectiveness of torture."

It's hard enough for a 7,000-page document to go up against myths, lies, and Hollywood movies. But it's a truly unfair fight when the document is kept secret. Only a 500-page censored summary was released two years ago.

The Obama administration possesses some copies of the report. The Senate Intelligence Committee has requested their return. The committee could choose to destroy those documents.

Senator Feinstein is asking President Obama to declassify the report. Click here to join a coalition of organizations supporting that request and planning to deliver a petition to the White House.<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=BeSX6WAE0MSvSRUOF1rmaMDjU2zmd8sA>

It matters when the rule of law is discarded and policy is driven by willfully misinformed sadism.

NPR's David Welna recently reported on this topic, saying: "President-elect Trump, though, campaigned on bringing back torture which was outlawed during the Obama administration."

In fact, torture was outlawed by, among other laws, the Eighth Amendment, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention Against Torture (joined during the Reagan administration), and the anti-torture and war crimes statutes in the U.S. Code (Clinton administration).

Torture was a felony throughout the period of time covered by the Torture Report. President Obama forbade prosecution, although the Convention Against Torture requires it. The rule of law has suffered, but some measure of truth and reconciliation remains possible -- if we are allowed to know the truth.

If we are denied the truth about torture, lies will continue to justify it, and it will continue to claim victims.

Donald Trump ran for president promising to respect the working people of America. Now, at his very first opportunity to show respect to America's working families, the president-elect has failed the test.

Trump attacked a union activist for standing up for his members. We need to stand up to Mr. Trump and hold him accountable.

Share this graphic to tell Donald Trump that the working men and women of this country deserve his respect. Tell him to fulfill his promise to stand up for working families.

Donald Trump ran for president promising to respect the working people of America. Now, at his very first opportunity to show respect to America's working families, the president-elect has failed the test.

Trump attacked a union activist for standing up for his members. We need to stand up to Mr. Trump and hold him accountable.

Share this graphic to tell Donald Trump that the working men and women of this country deserve his respect. Tell him to fulfill his promise to stand up for working families.

Dear Ann,

Tell the Senate to block Trump's cabinet of climate denial, hate, and Wall Street greed!<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=hszwMDZdqo7pNUXvTjMrqVzchU%2Ba3p58>


Donald Trump just nominated Scott Pruitt to head the EPA. Pruitt is a climate denier and Big Oil crony who seems more interested in tearing apart our environmental protections than in standing up for the planet.

And Pruitt isn't the only one. Trump is filling his government with Wall Street insiders, corporate shills, racists, xenophobes, and sexists.

The Senate still has the power to block these terrible nominees. So Friends of the Earth is joining with allies from across the progressive movement to send a strong message -- our Senators must block Trump's cabinet of hate and Wall Street greed.

Tell the Senate: Use your confirmation power to block Trump's cabinet of hate and Wall Street greed.<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=TWMODHM%2BzWNa1vr28jh8plzchU%2Ba3p58>

Trump claims he wants to "drain the swamp," but he's doing the opposite. His cabinet picks expose his real agenda: exploiting the deepest and darkest fears in our country to enrich himself and his friends.

Already people like you are taking action to condemn Trump's racist, misogynistic, xenophobic behavior and that of his surrogates. This week, Friends of the Earth and allies delivered more than one million signatures from people like you to Congress demanding that it speak out against the appointment of White Supremacist Stephen Bannon.

But Bannon isn't the only threat. Racist, climate-denying Senator Jeff Sessions could lead the Justice Department. He'd have the power to let Exxon Mobil get away with denying the climate crisis -- potentially the biggest case of corporate fraud in history.

And Scott Pruitt is suing the EPA -- impeding the very agency he's charged with leading. He wants to roll back the Clean Power Plan and Clean Water Rule. Why? Because he's received more than $315,000 from fossil fuel industries since 2002.

At Friends of the Earth, we're working to expose and defeat Trump's terrible appointees. So we'll shine a light on their shady corporate pasts and push Congress to reject them. And if they make it through Congress, we will expose and watchdog their every move. But we need your help.

Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to block Trump's cabinet of hatemongers and corporate cronies.<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ojKwQU47UIFNCqNtdRu45lzchU%2Ba3p58>

Personnel is policy. Trump's outrageous cabinet nominations make it clear that the only policy Trump will advance is what benefits himself and his corporate buddies.

The Senate will be a razor thin 52-48 divide between Republicans and Democrats in 2017. Many key Senate committees will be split 10-9 or 11-10. If Democrats stick together, it will only take a handful of principled Republican votes to block any Trump nominee who champions hate or greed. But we need your help to make that happen.

Tell the Senate: Oppose any Trump nominee who embraces racism, xenophobia, misogyny, climate denial, and Wall Street greed.<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=5xHSJYkUBdbDfgWuThxrU1zchU%2Ba3p58>

This is our last chance to ask President Obama to do this.

Leonard Peltier was convicted of murder on what is widely believed to have been "cooked" evidence. He had been extradited from Canada on the strength of affidavits that U.S. government prosecutors later admitted were coerced fabrications.

Click here to end this injustice.<http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=BhhGA9miytcyhx5H9vMMYtOlXDg1R485>

Peltier has been in prison for over 40 years. He is suffering from cancer and should be pardoned, at the very least for humanitarian reasons.

Peltier has been held because the FBI insists on punishing him for an act he did not commit and for the legal and nonviolent activism he did commit.

For information on this case, see Incident at Oglala -- a film narrated by Robert Redford.

Dear Friends,

This could be our chance to stop a stolen election - ten Electors from both parties are calling for a security briefing about Russia's interference in the vote.

And they have eight days to get it before they are forced to cast their ballots for President.

The CIA says there is Russian interference, Obama has called for a full intelligence review and Trump is denying everything. Knowing the facts is the least The Electoral College deserves! Let's give them the backing they need to win their right to know:

Click here to get the Electors the information they need!<https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stolenelection/?bqRCocb&v=85254&cl=11272071528&_checksum=d575d4cfaf9e33457fd3035c3864d109231d10e4e24ee033a9aef8b5d84ef21c>

When everyone voted we didn't know that Russia had likely interfered in the election to get Trump in power. And when many states were decided by tens of thousands of votes it's likely this information would have changed the outcome!

But there's still so much we don't know because it's incomplete or classified and maybe that's the right call. Electors, though, hold our entire future in their hands and need the clearance to get information, even if it's secret from all of us. That's their job - to protect against gross injustices and terrible outcomes from a popular vote.

We can't know if there's a case for The Electoral College to change their vote. But we can make sure those individuals hold the basic information they need to make an informed decision. Let's support their right to know and give the Electors a huge national wind at their back:

Click here to get the Electors the information they need!<https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stolenelection/?bqRCocb&v=85254&cl=11272071528&_checksum=d575d4cfaf9e33457fd3035c3864d109231d10e4e24ee033a9aef8b5d84ef21c>

This is a no-brainer: tell the people who will ultimately choose our next President the whole truth! And we can win it in time - it's already a bipartisan call, now we can make it a national one.

With hope,

Emma, Andrew, Marigona, Spyro and the whole Avaaz team

Subject: A thank you to the Standing Rock Sioux

Will you join me in thanking and supporting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe by contributing whatever you can to replenish its budget?

Dear MoveOn member,

Water is life. That's the meaning of the Lakota saying "Mni wiconi."

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Oceti Sakowin elders, International Indigenous Youth Council, and Sacred Stone and Oceti Sakowin camps led a movement that won against tremendous odds.1 In the course of the past year, we have said often that we are protecting our sacred sites and the Missouri River for all, Native and non-Native, who live and work along the river. Our struggle to protect our sacred sites is to protect our ancestors and their ability to lead us along a path that will save Mother Earth.

MoveOn members like you helped to lift up and defend the Standing Rock Sioux's struggle for sovereignty and to protect our environment by sending more than 400,000 petition signatures to the White House, calling on President Obama to act; making 13,000 phone calls to the White House and North Dakota authorities; and much more. Thank you for the actions you've taken to stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and all of the water protectors.

Now, I'm writing to you, Ann, with the hope that you'll join me in thanking and supporting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for standing resolutely and fiercely?for all of us and the rights of sovereign nations?by contributing whatever you can to replenish its budget, drained by the struggle to stop the pipeline and support the prayer camp.

Yes. I want to contribute to express my thanks. (Your contribution is tax-deductible and will be made to the Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation, which has established a special fund for the exclusive use of the tribe.)<https://act.moveon.org/donate/thank_you_standing_rock_donation/?t=1&akid=174523.8957075.0rQlNf>

I can't contribute, but please include my name and message in a thank-you card to be sent to Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault II.<https://act.moveon.org/survey/thank-you-standing-rock-sioux/?t=2&akid=174523.8957075.0rQlNf>

Please allow me to share an excerpt from a message from Chairman Archambault:

We want to thank everyone who played a role in advocating for this cause. We thank the tribal youth who initiated this movement. We thank the millions of people around the globe who expressed support for our cause. We thank the thousands of people who came to the camps to support us, and the tens of thousands who donated time, talent, and money to our efforts to stand against this pipeline in the name of protecting our water. We especially thank all of the other tribal nations and jurisdictions who stood in solidarity with us, and we stand ready to stand with you if and when your people are in need.2

We have a long road ahead to protect Mother Earth and reverse the damage done by profit-driven fossil fuel corporations. And even as we celebrate this victory, we recognize that there will be immense challenges ahead for the #NoDAPL movement?especially in light of the incoming administration.

Please help make sure that the Standing Rock Sioux community has the resources it needs to chart the way forward by contributing whatever you can now.<https://act.moveon.org/donate/thank_you_standing_rock_donation/?t=3&akid=174523.8957075.0rQlNf>

I can't contribute, but please include my name and message in a thank-you card to be sent to Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman, David Archambault II.<https://act.moveon.org/survey/thank-you-standing-rock-sioux/?t=4&akid=174523.8957075.0rQlNf>

This victory has come at a critical moment, not just for the fight against the pipeline but as many of us consider the tough road ahead with a new administration. But as this struggle demonstrates, faith, courage, and unity of peaceful action by our tribes and communities can defy all odds and provide a real challenge to overreaching corporate and state powers.

We need to remember that now more than ever, and draw strength from our collective histories, even when the odds feel insurmountable.

Sitting Bull was a Hunkpapa Lakota holy man who said, "Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children."

Remember that Standing Rock is everywhere now. Water is life, and your solidarity is our collective water.

Hawwih,

Teachers and other public servants whose interests ought to lie with promoting human needs have their retirement security tied up with maintaining or enlarging the war industry.

While governments buy weapons, market weapons to other governments, donate weapons to other governments, and bestow tax breaks on weapons dealers, there is another less-visible way in which public money sustains weapons dealing and war making.

Public pension and retirement funds are invested, directly and indirectly, in weapons companies. RootsAction is partnering with World Beyond War to do something about it.

Subject: Investigate Trump?s ties with Russia now (sign the petition)

[https://act.credoaction.com/o.gif?akid=20855.2377587.Qfkptu]
[CREDO action]
Tell Congress: Immediately investigate Trump?s ties to Russia<https://act.credoaction.com/sign/Investigate_Trump_Russia?t=1&akid=20855.2377587.Qfkptu>

Tell Republican Congressional leaders:
?Launch an immediate and public investigation into all of Donald Trump and his cabinet?s inappropriate financial ties to the Russian government.?

Dear Ann,

[Trump Traitor] <https://act.credoaction.com/sign/Investigate_Trump_Russia?t=3&akid=20855.2377587.Qfkptu>

News broke late Friday night that a secret CIA assessment has determined that Russia intervened in the 2016 U.S. presidential election to help Donald Trump win.1

To make things worse, within days of the news breaking, this morning Trump nominated Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson ? who has a close relationship with Vladimir Putin and has negotiated oil deals with Russia worth hundreds of billions of dollars ? as the next Secretary of State.2

The evidence is too serious to ignore. There is a very real possibility that Russia helped Trump steal this election from the American people. Some members of the Electoral College are already demanding a briefing on Trump?s ties to Russia before being called to vote on Dec. 19, and Republican politicians like Sen. Mitch McConnell and Speaker Paul Ryan have now indicated that they will support an investigation and congressional probe into Russian interference in the U.S. election.3

While that?s important, we also need a much broader, immediate and public congressional investigation into the Trump administration?s troubling and inappropriate financial ties to the Russian government.

Tell Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan: Launch an immediate and public investigation into the relationship between Donald Trump and the Russian government. Click here to sign the petition.<https://act.credoaction.com/sign/Investigate_Trump_Russia?t=4&akid=20855.2377587.Qfkptu>

When Trump encouraged the Russian government to spy on the United States in July,4 members of the intelligence community ? and more than 170,000 CREDO activists ? called for him to be denied access to classified national security briefings. The people in power didn?t listen.

Republicans in Congress have been relentless in using their power to call sham committee hearings and squander millions of dollars in taxpayer money to set up and run special investigative committees to pursue their extreme right-wing agenda against Planned Parenthood, American Muslims and Hillary Clinton, among others. Now, it is time for them to address an actual controversy. Given the recent revelations about Russia?s interference in the U.S. election and the deep concern of the intelligence community and the American public about Trump?s ties to Russia, there is no excuse for not launching an investigation now.

Tell Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan: Launch an immediate and public investigation into the relationship between Donald Trump and the Russian government. Click here to sign the petition.<https://act.credoaction.com/sign/Investigate_Trump_Russia?t=5&akid=20855.2377587.Qfkptu>

Republican leaders in Congress must investigate any and all potential Trump connections with Russia to try and recapture the integrity of our elections.Congress can?t wait any longer. They must investigate all outstanding concerns related to Trump conspiring with Russia, including:

  *   The reported Russian cyberattacks on Democratic party infrastructure: Congress must look into the extent of Russian intelligence?s cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Hillary Clinton?s campaign and inquire whether those attacks seemed designed to influence the presidential election.

  *   The reported financial connections between Trump and Russia. Trump?s debt load has increased from $350 million to $630 million in just the last year at a time when American banks are reluctant to extend Trump credit.5 In 2008, Trump?s son is claimed to have said, ?Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.?6 Congress must look into the extent to which Trump?s current debt, or his previous business partnerships, obligate him financially to Russian oligarchs aligned with Putin.

  *   Trump advisors? history of working with Putin-aligned politicians. Congress must investigate to what degree Trump?s current and past senior advisers, including Paul Manafort and Carter Page ? who both have long histories of advising, and collecting enormous profit from, Putin-aligned politicians and oligarchs in Russia and Ukraine ? had obligations or ties that might have posed a conflict of interest when they were advising Trump during his presidential campaign .7

  *   Trump?s tax returns. Trump refuses to release his tax returns.8 Congress must investigate if there is any information in Trump?s tax returns that would indicate previously undisclosed financial ties to Russian interests in close alignment with Putin?s dictatorship.

  *   Trump?s crony cabinet. Multiple members of or leading candidates for key positions in Trump?s crony cabinet have very disturbing ties to Russia. Most notable is Tillerson, who has a strong and intimate history of business dealings with Putin and other Russian government officials.

  *   The Trump campaign?s reported meddling with the Republican platform on Ukraine. Congress should look into why ? when Trump stayed away from most every aspect of the Republican Party platform ? his campaign worked behind the scenes to make sure the party backed away from supporting Ukraine and putting the ?official Republican party position on arms for Ukraine ? at odds with almost all the party?s national security leaders.?9

Republican leaders in Congress are relentless in trying to designate themselves the guardians of our national security, even when their political gamesmanship demonizes and endangers Americans at home and abroad. It would be the height of hypocrisy for them to refuse to investigate the reported CIA intelligence that Russian government interfered with the 2016 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.

The more of us who add our voices, the harder it will be for McConnell, Ryan and the other leaders in the Republican Party to sweep these reports under the rug and go on with politics as usual. Click the link below to demand they launch an immediate and public investigation into Trump?s ties to Russia.

Dear Ann,

By lifting the lid on global mass surveillance, Edward Snowden galvanized one of the major human rights struggles of the 21st century. Without him, the world would still be in the dark about a massive invasion of privacy.

Today help us flood the White House with this message: Pardon Edward Snowden now.<https://www.e-activist.com/ea-action/broadcast.record.message.click.do?ea.url.id=800472&ea.campaigner.email=RSV8xKWSow0vPL5r3wNF6sQaztlvuLM%2B&ea.campaigner.id=6wIylsq1tUuZkArzVWMSmA==&ea_broadcast_target_id=0>

The price of exposing abuse of power must not be exile.

Snowden clearly acted in the interest both of the U.S. public and of people around the world. The U.S. government should never have charged him in the first place.

By pardoning him, President Obama can end his term by breaking with an insidious pattern of U.S. presidents favoring government secrecy over human rights.

Tell President Obama to pardon Edward Snowden, a whistleblower who acted solely in the public interest.<https://www.e-activist.com/ea-action/broadcast.record.message.click.do?ea.url.id=800473&ea.campaigner.email=RSV8xKWSow0vPL5r3wNF6sQaztlvuLM%2B&ea.campaigner.id=6wIylsq1tUuZkArzVWMSmA==&ea_broadcast_target_id=0>

Earlier this year, Snowden offered this statement to Amnesty and its supporters:

"A world in which nobody stands up for whistleblowers and activists is a world where nobody takes risks to defend the public interest or expose government abuses. People need to stand together to defend the kind of society they want to live in." - Edward Snowden

We couldn't agree more.

Stand up against the abuse of power and urge President Obama to pardon Edward Snowden.<https://www.e-activist.com/ea-action/broadcast.record.message.click.do?ea.url.id=800474&ea.campaigner.email=RSV8xKWSow0vPL5r3wNF6sQaztlvuLM%2B&ea.campaigner.id=6wIylsq1tUuZkArzVWMSmA==&ea_broadcast_target_id=0>

Together we are the most powerful force for human rights in the world. Thank you for taking action with Amnesty today.

In solidarity,

Fox In the Henhouse: Pruitt for Head of EPA

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency. As state attorney general, Pruitt led the fight against climate action and the Clean Power Plan, did the bidding of the fossil fuel industry, and opposed life-saving protections for our air and water. He has cast himself as a sworn enemy of the very agency he would oversee. "Putting Scott Pruitt in charge of the EPA is like putting Darth Vader in charge of the Rebel Alliance," says Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune.

Read more, and urge your senators to oppose Pruitt's nomination.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=cc836df1271618c268061a81da06f5d36cc361d8f9c53b5a7f6fd3fd1b840cd792fbf1dc7784fab4>

And Equally Frightening...

Donald Trump's nomination of ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson to serve as the United States' top diplomat is dangerous and irresponsible. Appointing an oil executive with zero government experience to be Secretary of State undermines U.S. foreign relations and leadership in addressing climate change and human rights violations around the world. Tillerson's nomination cements the fact that clean air, clean water, and a safe climate are all endangered in Trump's America. The good news is that this is not yet a done deal.

Send a message to your senators now, urging them to oppose Tillerson's nomination for Secretary of State.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=cc836df1271618c201fa8ad34dbeedc1affb63ed1d3d53780dc372a0b36bddd0dfe275554a1c4dc8>

Victory March at Standing Rock

Boston-based photographer Brian Nevins was at the Standing Rock camp in North Dakota when the news came down that the Army Corps of Engineers would seek an alternative route for the Dakota Access Pipeline. The photos he took capture a march that took place immediately after the announcement was made. "[It was] about the most powerful moment I've experienced in awhile," Nevins says. "For a day, we were one people with one cause all unified in prayer for the cause of our planet. It brought me to tears."

Shelter From the Storm

The John Muir Memorial Shelter?commonly known as the Muir Hut?was built by the Sierra Club in 1930 at 11,955-foot Muir Pass in the Sierra Nevada for the benefit of backpackers seeking shelter from the elements. The leaky 86-year-old structure needs repairs, but thanks to the vision of a determined Sierra Club activist, on the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service the Muir Hut was placed on the National Register of Historic Places?a key step in ensuring that this memorial to the Sierra Club's founder gets the protection and restoration it deserves.

Join us as we hike to the hut.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=cc836df1271618c2e2c9efbc200d5c5d391d06c702a88db4f993a95c8ad63be019fa971609343854>

Restore Salmon Runs on the Snake

The Columbia and Snake Rivers were among the greatest salmon rivers on earth until four dams were built on the lower Snake between 1955 and 1975. Although the federal agencies responsible for these dams have repeatedly refused to act to protect wild salmon, last month a federal court judge ordered them to develop a plan to restore wild salmon and directed them to consider options like potential dam removal. Public input is being accepted between now and early January.

Tell the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bonneville Power Administration to remove the lower Snake River dams.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=cc836df1271618c2d04a537beac19c86232f5ef5fb8210e26881744912ef4770b32e70470253d61a>

Must-See TV Tomorrow Night

In 2014, filmmaker James Cameron and actor/politician Arnold Schwarzenegger teamed up with seasoned television producers and harnessed celebrity power to create the Showtime documentary series Years of Living Dangerously, featuring stories of people on the front lines of the climate crisis. A second season is airing this fall, produced and broadcast by the National Geographic Channel. In the season finale on December 14 (tomorrow) at 10:00 p.m. EST, the filmmakers travel to Waukegan, Illinois, to speak with Sierra Club members working with the Club's Beyond Coal campaign.

Read more about Years of Living Dangerously and tune in tomorrow evening.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=cc836df1271618c21269fcb4c03a9139e316b68bdefd836bf2ce392be7fd732d73ef37843abfea1c>

Double Dose of Denial

Donald Trump claims to be a champion for women, notwithstanding his nasty rhetoric, his misogyny, and lurid descriptions of sexual assault. At the same time, he's also in denial about climate change, which he has called a hoax. This double dose of denial is especially dangerous for women. In addition to the Trump administration's expected attacks on women's rights in the U.S., unequal access to medical care, property ownership, and employment around the globe means that women will continue to be disproportionately affected by climate change and extreme weather.

Help us fight for women's rights and climate justice.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=cc836df1271618c2d4170be3a60bb83719ed625c98e464214022d40d9529d328d672bcaa7c91f248>

Up Close and Personal with Grizzlies

This fall, Sierra magazine writer Aaron Teasdale traveled to the heart of grizzly bear territory in the Northern Rocky Mountains to investigate efforts to encourage bear-human coexistence. While on assignment, he captured some amazing footage of wildlife biologists working with bears and then releasing them back into the wild.

Holiday Survival Guide

What do you you say, while gathered around the holiday dinner table, when your Uncle Eustace says coal is going to make a huge comeback under the Trump administration? How do you respond to Aunt Alice's assertion that natural gas is the fuel of the future, or cousin Jimmy's jubilation that the EPA will finally get off Big Oil's back and we'll all enjoy lower prices at the pump? And how do you keep your cool when your parents hand out "Let's Make America Great Again" caps to everyone just before dessert hits the table?

Here are a few tips we hope will help. Or just play with your peas...<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=cc836df1271618c2534345557a370cb231c9bb3320f2f241532faf6433c670068f694fb2c25f10a8>

A Grand Legacy

The Grand Canyon watershed is home to a distinct array of native wildlife, hundreds of creeks and springs that millions of people rely on for drinking water, and thousands of acres of ancient forest?including the Southwest's largest unprotected old-growth ponderosa pine forest. Tribes in the area, especially the Navajo, Havasupai, Hualapai, and Hopi, have come together to help protect this region they hold sacred. But this natural and cultural treasure faces threats on many fronts, including unsafe uranium mining and devastating logging practices.

Tell President Obama to protect these lands and designate the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument.<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=cc836df1271618c285a8ab282e4f7b737a0b2617656e78a073492620b3b9a42685a7a1bd005aeb2b>

Subject: UPDATE: United in protecting free speech

Ann,

The very foundation of our democratic system-free speech and freedom of expression-is under attack.

As part of a nationwide counter-inaugural protest, PEN America is organizing writers, artists, and activists on January 15-Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday-on the steps of the iconic New York Public Library.

We'll read selected works and then march to Trump Tower to delivery our pledge to President-elect Trump that we will defend the First Amendment, preserve and protect our right to a free press, and defend our right to express our opinions and engage in dissent.

We have collected signatures from 100,000 individuals across the country. Sign the petition today to help us reach 200,000 signatures.<http://pen.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0809b771ad9123934911c8d9b&id=d27968a390&e=4fd68e80bb>

Together, we must protect or friends and neighbors from bigotry and persecution; defend our right to a free press; and protect our right to peaceful protest and assembly.

Thank you,

Suzanne Nossel
Executive Director
PEN America

Ann,

The United States is recognized globally for having the broadest and most powerful protections for free speech in the world. But those protections are now under attack.

[https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0809b771ad9123934911c8d9b/images/af6c62eb-7fef-4665-b708-d67f51db0a0f.png]<http://pen.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=0809b771ad9123934911c8d9b&id=c0594bc0a3&e=4fd68e80bb>

Attacks on the media and eroding boundaries between lies and truth have opened up our democracy to threats not seen in generations.<http://pen.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0809b771ad9123934911c8d9b&id=972756f885&e=4fd68e80bb> The past year's presidential campaign included threats and bans against journalists, and pledges to "open up" libel laws to make it easier to sue news organizations.

Inflammatory rhetoric and hate-filled attacks have emboldened extreme factions of our society who are targeting religious and cultural minorities. There are now some who want to criminalize dissent and target scholars and journalists for the expression of their views.

Join PEN America and our partners to protect and defend the First Amendment-the very foundation of our democratic system. Become a co-signer of the pledge to preserve, protect and defend our right to a free press, to express our opinions, and to engage in dissent.<http://pen.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0809b771ad9123934911c8d9b&id=822330b816&e=4fd68e80bb>

If our democracy is to endure and thrive, it is critical that we defend the vital role and the rights of a free press;

It is critical that we protect our right to peaceful protest and assembly, and not allow the government to criminalize dissent;

It is critical that we stand up for religious liberty and pluralism, and against the persecution of religious minorities;

It is critical that we safeguard existing laws and court decisions that limit the use of libel and defamation lawsuits to intimidate critics;

And it is critical that we speak out to reject the bigotry and hate that risk creating a widespread and alarming chilling effect on freedom of expression for people of color, Muslims, Jews, the disabled, immigrants, LGBTQ, and women.

We must stand united!

Become a co-signer today of the pledge to defend the First Amendment.<http://pen.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0809b771ad9123934911c8d9b&id=8fd56d7db7&e=4fd68e80bb>

Together we must protect the very ideals that make the United States respected around the globe.

Thank you,

Remember too that everyone can make a difference, a significant difference by scaling down our consumerism and becoming more self-sufficient. There is no shortage of things we can do as individuals and as communities. The biggest impact likely coming from local food systems.

WHEN: Wednesday December 21, 2016 12 noon to 3 p.m.
WHERE: Alex Thomas Plaza in downtown Ukiah

Investments from Wells Fargo, Chase, and Bank of America fuel construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.  Join us as we keep the pressure on these banks to divest their financial support. If you have an account with one of these banks, this is the ideal time to withdraw your funds and close your account.

We will be led in a prayer, hear inspiring speakers, and then march to the banks carrying a giant black snake (which we will be-head as a ritual to conclude the event). We will share special holiday carols at a bank of our choice.

On November 30th, six people in Ukiah withdrew $36,200 from Wells Fargo and initiated the closing of 11 accounts as part of a #NoDAPL day of action! The following day, Wells Fargo executives agreed to meet with Standing Rock leaders to discuss their grievances. Let's keep the pressure on!

If you plan to withdraw money or close an account, please see our online "Pledge to Divest/Withdraw" at https://mendonodapl.wordpress.com/ or contact linden.jenkinson at gmail.com<mailto:linden.jenkinson at gmail.com> with your name, contact info, and which bank you are divesting from.

FACTS ABOUT WELLS FARGO'S RELATIONSHIP TO DAPL:

* Energy Transfer Partners is the parent company of Dakota Access, LLC, the company building the Dakota Access Pipeline.  Wells Fargo is their financial gatekeeper.  Many banks are invested in ETP, but as ETP's "administrative agent," Wells processes all the investments the company receives and helps arrange all of its funding.*

* Energy Transfer Partners is the parent company of Dakota Access, LLC, the company building the Dakota Access Pipeline (this changed on November 23rd when ETP reorganized under the auspices of Sunoco Logistics, one of its subsidiaries).

*Wells Fargo has extended $560+ million in credit lines to companies behind the pipeline - namely Energy Transfer Equity, Energy Transfer Partners, Sunoco Logisitcs, Phillips 66 and Marathon. Phillips 66 and Marathon are slated to ship oil on the pipeline. Energy Transfer Equity is the parent company of Energy Transfer Partners and Sunoco Logistics.

* Wells Fargo, which is owed $42 Billion by the oil and gas industry as of 2015, is among a handful of US banks holding huge amounts of oil and gas debt.

* Wells Fargo is the US' most scandal-ridden bank of the moment.  From 2011 to '15, the bank reaped hundreds of millions of dollars in extra profits by opening around two million bogus customer accounts and charging these unknowing customers interest and fees.

* Wells Fargo hosts an annual conference in New York City to arrange meetings between pipeline builders and pipeline financers.

We might be a day late!


By Cortiz108  
Wednesday Dec 14, 2016 ? 10:32 AM PST

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is asking us to boost her authority with messages via her website contact form. 
She wants to reach out directly to Obama to ask for delay of the Electoral College vote. We can urge her to do so,
 thereby enhancing the citizen input on this issue.
Go to her site: www.democraticleader.gov/...
Use the following model or write your own message. This has to happen TODAY.
Please also share with others.
Dear Honorable Pelosi:
I am writing to you as an American citizen who is deeply concerned about interference in the election sponsored by the Russian government.
These unprecedented irregularities must give us pause in the process of transferring power.
Our electors need time to review all relevant evidence and think deeply about their votes before the Electoral College is scheduled to meet on 12/19. Therefore, I urge you strongly to personally contact President Obama to request a temporary stay of the electoral vote.
Thank you for considering my concerns.
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN TONIGHT!!!!

There's the colorful large poster, a small handout of that same image, fact sheets on Wells Fargo, fact sheet about BofA and the banking graph. I will likely "people" or have out info at Wells Fargo on Monday before the meeting, if anyone can take stacks of small fliers into stores as well, that would be great!

Subject: UPDATE: Electoral College


Ann --

The best chance we have right now to stop Donald Trump is for the Electoral College to reject him when they meet on December 19.

Hillary Clinton won the presidential election by more than 2.8 million votes. But because of the Electoral College, originally set up to protect slave states in the late 1700s, Donald Trump is going to be sworn in on January 20 -- unless the electors refuse to let him.

Electors for each state will meet at their state capitol building on Monday, December 19 to cast their votes. They can stop Donald Trump -- but they need to hear from all of us. It will take at least 37 electors in red states to deny him the White House.

People are gathering in all 50 state capitols on Monday, December 19 to urge the electors to stop Trump. Will you join the movement and help stop a popular vote loser -- and a hateful bigot -- from becoming president?

YES, I will join an Electoral College protest in my state capitol on Monday, December 19.<http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/24739?t=1&refcode=g-Electors1215.d-20161215.m-8719.s-27935&akid=8719.1713965.vkWiFH>

No, I can't participate, but I will write my legislator and urge them to support the National Popular Vote plan to require electors in future years to choose the winner of the nationwide popular vote.<http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/24740?t=2&refcode=g-Electors1215.d-20161215.m-8719.s-27935&akid=8719.1713965.vkWiFH>

Or, I will chip in $3 or more to help DFA organize to stop Trump -- and ensure that the next president is elected by National Popular Vote.<https://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/24706?refcode=g-Electors1215.d-20161215.m-8719.s-27935&akid=8719.1713965.vkWiFH>

There's been a lot of breaking news lately about electors who are trying to stop Donald Trump from becoming president:

  *   A Republican elector in Texas, Chris Suprun, wrote in The New York Times that he will not vote for Trump: "Fifteen years ago, I swore an oath to defend my country and Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. On December 19, I will do it again."

  *   On Monday, ten electors wrote to the Director of National Intelligence to request a briefing about reports Russia interfered in the presidential election.

  *   And, on Wednesday, Lawrence Lessig went on MSNBC and CNN and predicted as many as 20 Republican electors could defect from Trump -- and perhaps more if momentum grows in the coming days.

There are plenty of reasons for the Electoral College to reject Trump, beyond the fact that he lost the popular vote by a landslide. Trump is assembling a cabinet of billionaires, bigots, and bullies who will help him loot the country, make inequality worse, and attack people of color. He's turning the presidency into a vehicle for his own personal profit at our expense.

Let's be clear: It won't be easy to convince at least 37 electors to reject Trump. Electors are party loyalists who rarely vote against the candidate who won their state. And the Republican National Committee is putting intense pressure on Republican electors to stand by Trump.

But we have to step up and fight to defend our rights, our democracy, and our communities. That's why we have to urge electors to do the right thing, even if the chances of success aren't great. Will you help?

YES, I will join an Electoral College protest in my state capitol on Monday, December 19.<http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/24739?t=3&refcode=g-Electors1215.d-20161215.m-8719.s-27935&akid=8719.1713965.vkWiFH>

Thank you for standing up for our democracy.

Subject: Tell the electors in person: Reject Trump


MoveOn members are joining allies in one last-ditch effort to ask the electors in person to reject Donald Trump.

Dear MoveOn member,

The latest headlines about the Russian government's interference in our presidential election read like something out of a blockbuster Hollywood thriller. Except they aren't part of any blockbuster script. They're real.

This week news broke that the Russian president himself was involved in the efforts to influence our November election?in favor of Donald Trump.1

Amid this chilling news?and without the necessary access to an intelligence briefing regarding the extent of Russian tampering?538 members of the Electoral College will meet on Monday, December 19, in state capitols across the country to choose the next president of the United States.

That's why MoveOn members are joining allies in one last-ditch effort to ask the electors?in person?to reject Donald Trump.

Will you join fellow MoveOn members and our allies on Monday, December 19, in a national action to save our democracy?

Just click this link to RSVP.<http://act.moveon.org/go/7197?t=1&akid=174866.8957075.1jYSMu> When you click this link, you?ll be directed to a website created by a coalition of MoveOn allies who are organizing these peaceful, legal gatherings. (And note: If you agree to participate in this action, you agree to terms found here.)<http://act.moveon.org/go/7198?t=2&akid=174866.8957075.1jYSMu>

If you live too far from your statehouse to attend, please help spread the word by forwarding this email to friends and family members in California or elsewhere who you think might be able to attend an action!

Aside from Russia's election tampering, Trump has alarming financial entanglements, and there are concerns regarding his corruption that have yet to be fully understood or resolved.2

Responding to this crisis, 94% of MoveOn members who participated in a recent member vote voted to launch a campaign to urge the electors to vote their conscience and reject Trump.3

The charge to reach electors has transcended party lines. News outlets report that over 20 Republican electors have indicated that they are considering changing their vote.4

MoveOn members know that this campaign to prevail upon the electors faces steep odds, but we've got to continue?to demonstrate our resistance and our resolve to not sit silently as the corrupt and questionably-elected Trump tears apart our nation.

Please join an event at your state capitol on Monday, December 19, by clicking this link.<http://act.moveon.org/go/7197?t=3&akid=174866.8957075.1jYSMu> (Click here to review MoveOn?s participant agreement. By signing up, you?re agreeing to abide by its terms.)<http://act.moveon.org/go/7198?t=4&akid=174866.8957075.1jYSMu>

No matter what happens on Monday, we?ll need MoveOn members to lead the resistance to Trump and Trumpism in the weeks and months ahead. Onward!

Thanks for all you do.

Dear Ann,

[Tell Pres. Obama: Pardon Edward Snowden now.] <https://act.credoaction.com/sign/pardon_snowden?t=3&akid=20915.2377587.FX2OZg>

Edward Snowden is an American whistleblower whose brave actions exposed the global mass-surveillance system and set in motion the most important debate about government surveillance and civil liberties in decades.1

Instead of rewarding Snowden for his heroic actions, the U.S. government threw the book at him with charges under the Espionage Act ? essentially treating him as a spy and forcing him to seek asylum in Russia.

Donald Trump has repeatedly called Snowden a traitor and ominously said ?we should get him back and get him back now.?2 That?s why we?re joining the ACLU, Amnesty International and a broad coalition of civil liberties organizations in an emergency campaign urging Pres. Obama to pardon Snowden.

Tell Pres. Obama: Stop the war on whistleblowers. Pardon Edward Snowden now. Click here to sign the petition.<https://act.credoaction.com/sign/pardon_snowden?t=4&akid=20915.2377587.FX2OZg>

In 2013, then Booz Allen Hamilton Systems Administrator Edward Snowden gave documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald documents from the National Security Agency that provided concrete evidence of a terrifying global surveillance system that had grown enormously in scope since September 11, 2001. Since then, federal courts have confirmed that some of the surveillance activities Snowden disclosures brought to light were illegal.3

Snowden?s revelations about the massive surveillance apparatus maintained by the NSA and foreign countries weren?t an act of espionage against the United States, they were a heroic public service that exposed flagrant violations of both the First and Fourth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. As Sen. Bernie Sanders said recently, ?the information disclosed by Edward Snowden has allowed Congress and the American people to understand the degree to which the NSA has abused its authority and violated our constitutional rights."4

While Pres. Obama has been deeply critical of Snowden and so far deflected calls for a pardon, he also acknowledged in 2014 that the national debate on civil liberties and mass surveillance sparked by Snowden?s disclosures ?will make us stronger.?5

Pres. Obama has just a few weeks left in office. During that time, we need to make sure he sees a groundswell of grassroots support urging him to use his presidential authority under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution to grant a pardon to Edward Snowden.

Subject: It?s Not Over: Stop DAPL for Good

[Rainforest Action Network]
Dear Ann,

Under a new fossil-fuel friendly administration, there?s only one sure way to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) permanently: Cut Off Bank Financing. We?ve teamed up with a huge coalition to force banks to stop funding the DAPL.

Tell banks to stop funding the Dakota Access Pipeline!<http://www.ran.org/defund_dapl?e=e7cd3ccb9d2f2b0be8de84a15885dceaee2f94bb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defunddapl_6&n=1>

[StopFunding_v1_FB_(1).png]<http://www.ran.org/defund_dapl?e=e7cd3ccb9d2f2b0be8de84a15885dceaee2f94bb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defunddapl_6&n=2>

For months the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Indigenous peoples, water protectors and allies have been under siege while peacefully resisting DAPL. They have been blasted with water cannons in freezing weather, tear gassed, and shot with rubber bullets.

The pipeline was initially approved without sufficient environmental reviews, adequate assessment of cultural properties and sacred sites, or the Free, Prior and Informed Consent of the Standing Rock Sioux affirmed in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

In addition to violating sovereign Indigenous rights, continued pipeline construction and any spills pose significant and direct threats to vital clean water supplies and sacred sites for the Standing Rock Sioux, who live less than a mile downstream. This disastrous project is a direct threat to the Missouri River, which provides drinking water to millions of people.

The companies responsible for the pipeline are Energy Transfer Partners and Sunoco Logistics, who have a deplorable track record of pipeline spills and have shown a total disregard for tribal rights, land and water.

We can?t let this destructive project continue. Sign now to support the sovereignty and rights of the Indigenous people of Standing Rock and hold the DAPL banks accountable.<http://www.ran.org/defund_dapl?e=e7cd3ccb9d2f2b0be8de84a15885dceaee2f94bb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defunddapl_6&n=3>

On December 4, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other water protectors who've been fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline for months won an important, but temporary, victory when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers denied an easement needed to finish drilling under the Missouri River.

But the Army Corps? decision did not permanently stop DAPL. In fact, Energy Transfer Partners, one of the companies that is building the pipeline, insists they "fully expect to complete construction of the pipeline without any additional rerouting."

Aggressive fossil fuel advocates are being named to the incoming Cabinet of the United States, so we know we can?t count on their help. But we know one way to stop this ? tell 17 big banks, like Wells Fargo and Citibank, to stop funding the bulldozers, drilling equipment, and private security.<http://www.ran.org/defund_dapl?e=e7cd3ccb9d2f2b0be8de84a15885dceaee2f94bb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defunddapl_6&n=4>

If DAPL does not deliver oil by January 1, shipper contracts will expire and the project will be in jeopardy.  These 17 banks haven't yet disbursed all the loan funds they?ve committed. This means they now face a clear opportunity to reconsider further funding a project steeped in controversy and demonstrating material loss.

We have done this before and we can leverage our power as customers and account holders to pressure these lending banks to defund DAPL.

Click here to tell 17 big banks to defund the climate-killing Dakota Access Pipeline.<http://www.ran.org/defund_dapl?e=e7cd3ccb9d2f2b0be8de84a15885dceaee2f94bb&utm_source=rainforestactionnetwork&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defunddapl_6&n=5>

Subject: Medicare For All Is The Winning Strategic Line, Precisely Because Republicans Will Try To Cut Back Medicare


Dear Ann,

We promised you a major strategic and prophetic piece on the winning
path going forward and here it is.

To plan a winning strategy it is necessary to have a firm grip on
reality as it stands.

The first reality is that the so-called Affordable Care Act (ACA)
cannot survive. It's toast. And the more those on the Democratic side
now try to fight to preserve it, by perhaps trying to filibuster its
full repeal, the more ADDITIONAL seats in Congress they will lose.

Because the dynamic we sadly foretold in 2010 REMAINS in effect
UNDIMINISHED.

You think you are hurting now??? It's going to get WORSE unless we
take the correct decisive action immediately.

We told you the ACA was doomed the day it was passed. And we also
ruefully predicted 6 1/2 years ago that over a series of successive
elections the Democrats would lose control of both Congress and the
White House, behind a recurrent Republican election pitch that more
Democrats needed to be removed from office so that the bill could be
repealed.

What the Republicans will do now, with the political power they have
grabbed so far, is to cripple the ACA in budget reconciliation, which
cannot be filibustered, which will make it an even worse deal, and
then argue that to end the filibusters of full repeal MORE Democratic
senators need to be defeated in 2018, a year in which a
proportionally inordinate number of current Democratic seats will be
at risk.

The second reality is that beyond a couple corporate sales gimmicks
as window dressing, there is nothing in the ACA worth saving.
Otherwise it's just a pile of byzantine bureaucratic junk.

Notwithstanding anecdotal stories of individual people saving money
over what they were paying before, we are STILL paying absurdly more
for our medical care than any other first world country, because the
ACA corruptly put the medical insurance companies in charge of
setting prices, which are already dramatically escalating, in what
are now degenerating into single provider "markets" with no actual
competition.

The third reality is that there will necessarily be a debate on what
to replace it with, and THAT is our opportunity and our opening.

Republicans have sworn a nauseous number of times that they will
replace it (they just refuse to say with what exactly). The majority
of Americans agree with them that it's not good enough. . and SO MUST
WE, and make that majority our own by demanding that the ACA be
replaced with something truly better, Medicare For All.

If Democrats had passed Medicare For All in the first place, they
would still be in power today. They had bigger majorities in 2008
than the Republicans have today. And they poured all that power down
the drain by trying to con the American people with a corporate
boondoggle masquerading as health care reform.

The fourth reality is that Medicare is not only very popular, it is
popular with the highest participation segment of the electorate,
which are the seniors. These are people who VOTE, and this is the
most important point of all. When the Republicans try to turn
Medicare into some privatization scam, as they will, these VOTERS are
not going to like it.

We can and must make a powerful political argument that the best way
to strengthen Medicare is to bring more people, younger people into
the system, at the same time getting them covered and cutting their
health care costs as well, in a system with 2-3% overhead and
bargaining power for the people, versus 20-30% administrative losses
under corporate rule plus out of control costs for the medical care
itself.

It is an election winning argument.

There are other issues we care about and will also fight for. But for
example, as urgent as WE know the climate change crisis is already,
average people in their everyday lives do not have enough of a
personal connection with this threat to win elections against it on
this bandwagon. And by the time the water is at enough of their doors
for that to happen it will be too late to keep 50% of FL from going
under water. But the same politicians who will pass Medicare For All
we can get to vote to fight climate change.

So there you have it. We have given you the winning line.

We are told that 5 million people signed petitions this week to get
the members of the electoral college to stop Trump, and the
initiative was a miserable flop, again just as we predicted.

Why was it such miserable, embarrassing, naive, desperate flop? Can
we deal with reality here?

The most obvious explanation is because these PARTISAN operative
electors are not up for election again (technically they were shadow
elected by the votes by state) in an identifiable way so we have no
leverage on them. By contrast the Republican party has massive
leverage on them by threatening to essentially excommunicate them if
they had gone rogue.

But show us 5 million petition submissions, directed at members of
Congress who ARE all up for reelection, calling for Medicare for All
NOW, and we'll show you more political power than you can possibly
imagine. We only have about 5,000 submissions so far, that's short by
a factor of 1000 to 1, so you folks all need to get busy immediately
sharing this action page . . . presuming you actually want to start
winning again.

Subject: We Must Defend Social Security and Medicare

Dear Ann:

Politicians will tell you Social Security and Medicare are financially insolvent.  That is a lie.  Truth is they want to profit off what you have already paid into your entire work life.  Many people die prematurely before collecting a penny off either program.  Many die shortly a few short years after becoming eligible for both programs.  In recent years, Senator Bernie Sanders reported Social Security has a $2.7 trillion dollar surplus, enough funds to last at least a couple of decades.  Don't let the GOP Congress steal what you have paid for.  Don't let the GOP Congress privatize these programs and add a "middle man" into the equation.  Please sign and share my petition. http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/stop-the-destruction-4?mailing_id=36304&source=s.icn.em.cr&r_by=504833

petitions.moveon.org
I just signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate: We stand against the destruction of Social Security and Medicare. We oppose any cuts in benefits to either program. We oppose any Congressional Legislation that integrates US Postal Service Employees into Medicare as they have already pre-paid their health insurance decades in advance. Expand Social Security because the money is there to make it happen. We oppose any privatization in Social Security and Medicare. Lower the age to enroll in Medicare to age 60.




You can learn more about my current effort to protect Social Security and Medicare on my blog. <http://www.thenewsblurb.net/category/social-security-medicare/>   Thank you for signing my petitions.  I am incredibly fearful of the road ahead.  It is not going to be easy.

Sincerely,
Jerry

 My Mother's Favorite Thing

In contemplation of a new Christmas, I offer a true tale of redemption and hope.

When I was a boy, my mother owned a white MGB convertible. It looked like a bullet carved out of cream cheese, sounded like an earthquake and moved like a cheetah when she put it through its paces on Commonwealth Avenue. She was a law student at the time, and the inside of the car looked like a bomb went off in a courtroom: papers everywhere, legal textbooks stacked on the floor, yellow legal pads overflowing with outlines crowding the trunk. It was her favorite thing.

Late one night, a Boston College student suffering from severe emotional and addiction issues came walking down our street with a can of gasoline and a pack of matches, looking for a place to die. He found my mother's car sitting unlocked in the driveway, let himself in, and closed the door. He covered himself with the tweed coat she had left on the passenger seat, poured the gas, and popped a match. I woke that night to the sound of engines and the sight of red lights heliographing across my ceiling. Every fire truck in the world was in front of my house. The MGB was on fire from bumper to bumper in the driveway. Three firefighters were holding up the back end while a fourth put the hose to the gas tank. They beat the flames back eventually, and it sat there on four melted tires hissing like a scalded cat. My mother's favorite thing looked like something that had fallen from space.

One of the firefighters pried open the door. The car was empty. Well, almost empty.

Inside was a massacre of paper: Books incinerated, legal pads soaked beyond recognition, everything destroyed. This was a multi-tiered disaster because my mother's law school finals were right around the corner. A law student without outlines is a chef without a kitchen. The only things to survive the conflagration were a slightly charred book on torts and her stout old Black's Law Dictionary. Eventually, they hauled it away, leaving only a black scorch mark on the pavement and some heat-twisted coins on the lawn. Everything else was gone.

One week later to the day, just after dark, there was a knock on our front door. My mother opened it to find a scruffy young man standing there with his head down. "Can I help you?" my mother asked. The man pointed his finger at the two charred books on the floor of the entryway -- the survivors of the fire we'd left there because they still reeked of the blaze -- and said, "I'm responsible for this."

She brought him into the kitchen, sat him down, and got his story. As it turns out, he was living with severe depression, and had been self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. His whole life had collapsed around him, and came to my mother's car fully intending to die by his own hand. When the first flames kissed his skin, however, he fled. He was there that night to confess, and to have my mother deliver him to the police. He sat at our table awaiting his fate.

My mother looked him up and down, got his information, and told him to get out. "Come back here in one week," she said. "Don't make me have to find you." He walked out in a daze, like someone on the executioner's stage whose headsman had forgotten the axe. During that intervening week, my mother consulted with family, friends, medical professionals and even a priest trying to decide what to do.

A week later, the man returned, and found himself once again in our kitchen. My mother handed him the name and number of a psychiatrist affiliated with his school, and then delivered her demands. You will go see this person, she told him. You will get into treatment, and you will complete that treatment. I don't have to tell you what will happen if you don't follow through on this. He walked out of our house that night with a look on his face like he'd been hit with a sledgehammer made of Silly Putty.

The man entered and completed treatment. His condition was diagnosed and dealt with. He overcame his substance abuse issues. Not long after, he moved to Chicago and opened a series of clinics designed to help disadvantaged children living with the same conditions he himself had endured. We got gushing Christmas cards from him for a number of years, but eventually he faded away into the new fate he had found, beginning at our kitchen table.

My mother passed her law school finals. She replaced the cream cheese MGB with an older red version that had three windshield wipers, but eventually retreated into the safer realm of Hondas and Subarus. Years later, the scorch mark was still visible in the driveway the day she sold the house. I still see MGBs on the road from time to time, and I always wince a little. Dammit, I say to myself, that would have been mine someday.

The feeling passes quickly, and instead I contemplate the filaments of hope, healing and redemption spiraling out from that moment in the kitchen. My mother helped him, he helped himself, and went on to help others, who helped others, who helped others. There is no accounting for the number of lives that have been positively affected by that one selfless act.

Think on this today, if you will. These are grim times to be sure, but within reach of your arm is the capacity to do more simple good than you can possibly imagine. Nothing stops; the ripples from an act of kindness or courage extend ever outward. Throw the rock into the pond and see where those ripples go. The life you save may be your own.

Merry Christmas.

Addressing the medical issues of homeless people is the health equity challenge of our time. The most recent US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report on homelessness, published in 2015, estimated that about 564?000 homeless people in the United States live in shelters and on the streets. This figure, based on a point-in-time snapshot on a single night each January, may well be an underestimate, given varying definitions of homelessness, peripatetic populations, and the lack

 Or Are We Stuck with Trumpery  --

Fake Populism and Real Robber Barons?

Leonard Cohen is no Pollyanna. When he sings the path through which ?Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.,? you can see and hear the dark places, the deaths and infamies along the way. And yet, AND YET!!   This is not mere ?hope.? It is determination. Commitment. Covenant.

Please join me on this journey by first listening and watching here: <https://theshalomcenter.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=12894&qid=7445360>

I have included the words below to make sure you can hear them all. Please do actually watch and listen to Leonard Cohen sing them.

After that, we will look honestly at what we are facing now.


It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
that this ain't exactly real,
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
>From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal bitchin'
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
>From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

It's coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
and the machinery for change
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the women and the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going down so deep
the river's going to weep,
and the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
beneath the lunar sway,
imperial, mysterious,
in amorous array:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on ...

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.



*** **** **** **** ***
So what is standing in the way, Brother Leonard?

Trumpery is standing in the way.  I didn?t invent the word ?trumpery.? According to the Merriam -Webster Dictionary, ?trumpery? first appeared in English in the mid-15th century.
Webster's 1913 Dictionary defined ?Trump?er`y? --

n    1.    Deceit; fraud.  2. Something serving to deceive by false show or pretense; falsehood; deceit; worthless but showy matter; hence, things worn out and of no value; rubbish.



Who knew a dictionary could speak words of prophecy?



 Donald Trump ran for President as a ?populist,? meaning supporter of The People. Now we know that was the greatest fake of our entire history. Once elected, he turned from Trumpery to Naked Power. His appointees will set in place a government of Billionaires and Bigots, presided over by a Bully.

Not just any old random Billionaires. Hyper-wealthy persons who hate democracy and want to stamp it out.  There really is an American ruling class   -- and now we know they are scared.

Something about the last few years ? Black Lives Matter; the Dreamers; women who slap a ?Star,? a Billionaire, in public when he molests them; Bernie?s movement ?-  scared them. Even the anger of white blue-collar men scared them, and they realized they had to collar those guys for themselves before somebody got them who really cared about The People. So here they come, The Billionaires and Bigots:


?    To head the Department of Education: A person who hates public schools., which were the first great American effort to make sure that everyone knew how to be a  farmer, a carpenter, above all a citizen.
?    The Treasury: A banker who hates the regulations intended to keep banks from bankrupting the public while enriching themselves.
?    Secretary of State:  Big-Oil executive who is gleefully burning up the Earth for the sake of enormous profits.  If he gets his way, all those countries he?s supposed to be negotiating with will be burnt to a crisp, and his own country too. Why not?
?    To head the Department of Justice: a person who sneers at Black folks and supports the use of torture.
?    To oversee our ways of helping people who get sick: officials who want to wreck Medicare, abolish the Health Care Act that added millions to the insured public, starve Medicaid to death,  deregulate the rules that keep our chickens from being drenched in pesticides and poisons, our water from being filled with mind-destroying lead.



OK!  What do we do?

?Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.? only if we do it.

I suggest three rules of strategy:

1)    In contesting over national policy, try to choose issues -- like health care, job creation, and a major rise in the minimum wage -- that will meet the legitimate needs of those who voted for Trump as well as others who have been ?left behind? or pushed out onto the margins. Treat those needs and those voters with respect. Aim to show though deeds, not merely words, how fake and phony Trump?s ?populism? was.

2)    In cities and states where prophetic, progressive, and real populist policies already have strong majority support, build coalitions to move forward even more vigorously. For example: organize to solarize whole cities, including all schools and other public buildings and providing strong start-up grants and loans for low?income households to solarize their homes, if possible through neighborhood solar co-ops. For example: create a public bank that can invest large sums of  public money in meeting public needs. Urge each of these islands of progress to adopt a Declaration of Resistance, and connect them by setting up a Continental Congress.  (Sound familiar? Exactly!)

3)    Make special efforts to awaken and empower the sleeping giants of American democracy -? the religious and spiritual communities that carry prophetic and democratic values in their prayers and sermons but not yet in their public actions.

To do this, draw especially on our prophetic inheritance from Dr. Martin Luther King. On April 4, we will reach the 50th anniversary of his most profound speech, ?Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break the Silence.? In it he named racism, militarism, and materialism the deadly ?triplets? afflicting America and called for a profound revolution in values.

One year later, we will reach the 50th anniversary of his death. During that year he worked to create the Poor People?s Campaign that included the blue-collar whites who voted for Trumpery because it came in a Populist mask.

We can make that year MLK + 50 ? A Jubilee Year of Truth and Transformation.


Perhaps the best way to begin that journey is to take part in a four-day retreat from January 16 to 19 at Stony Point retreat center on ?BEYOND ?Beyond Vietnam?:  ? Reclaiming King?s Courage for Movement Building Today.? The discussions will be led by three of us who have invested our lives in awakening the dozing giants of our different religious traditions: Rev. Anthony Grimes of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Al-Hajj Imam Talib ?Abdur-Rashid of The Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood (in Harlem) , and me.
