Welcome to 2019! At American Promise, we?re ready to build on the huge successes of last year with a strategic plan focused on building support for the 28th Amendment across the nation?with citizens, in state capitals, and in Washington, D.C.

We ended 2018 on a high note thanks to bipartisan support of democracy reforms in the midterm elections and our passionate, rapidly expanding network of volunteers and contributors. The American Promise 2019 Roadmap to Success offers a look at our plans for this year. Here are a few highlights.

*	Growing our team of engaged citizens: Citizen leadership is the key to our success. Last year our citizen leaders launched more than a  <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=df03f011ef&e=9ea5be06a6> dozen new American Promise Association chapters, held dozens of meetings with elected representatives, met with hundreds of their fellow community members, and collected thousands of signatures. This year we have even bigger ambitions? <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=436128514e&e=9ea5be06a6> learn about the many ways you can get involved.
*	Building support in Congress: With 27 newly elected American Promise Candidate Pledge signers being sworn in this month, the 28th Amendment now has 151 co-sponsors in the House and 45 co-sponsors in the Senate. We want to expand those totals to 240 and 50 by 2020, ensuring our  <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=7b3f4837a6&e=9ea5be06a6> cross-partisan support grows and making the 28th Amendment a priority in Congress.
*	Promoting statewide initiatives: By focusing on state-based resolutions and initiatives, we aim to head into 2020 with  <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=34df71476d&e=9ea5be06a6> 28th Amendment endorsement in at least 22 states.

We have a lot to look forward to in 2019, and we?re so grateful to have you with us. Thank you for standing with us, and thank you in advance for your work to continue our successes in the coming year!

As state legislatures across the country start their sessions this month, elected officials who signed the American Promise Pledge will work for the 28th Amendment.

| What We?re Tracking This Week 

 




>From NPR: High voter turnout for the 2018 midterms may be a sign of things to come this year, as democratic engagement increases among people across the United States. More than 110 million Americans voted in November, thanks in part to early voting and competitive races in some states and districts.  <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=b37b70c873&e=9ea5be06a6> Read more.

>From End Citizens United: As the 116th Congress convenes, Democratic leaders in the U.S. House appear likely to address the government shutdown before they move on to their promised action on government and election reform. Before the 2018 midterm election, a coalition of 107 Democratic U.S. House challengers called for reform legislation to be the first item on the agenda.  <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=d0285eb221&e=9ea5be06a6> Read more.

>From the South Florida Sun Sentinel: In an opinion piece, Sam Daley-Harris suggests making a New Year?s resolution to join an organization like American Promise ?that really empowers its members.? Daley-Harris writes: ?Empowerment clue: American Promise volunteers had 17 meetings with Congress or their staff in 2017, the year their first chapters were launched, and 138 meetings in 2018. Most of their volunteers didn?t even know the name of their member of Congress before they joined the organization.?  <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=66f17ba2d5&e=9ea5be06a6> Read more.


>From The Hill: In the midterm elections, support for democracy reform?making our system of government more representative and responsive?was overwhelming and bipartisan. Voters approved redistricting reform in four states, increased voting access in four, and measures addressing ethics and money in politics in six states and more than a dozen localities, all by large margins. Democratic leadership in the U.S. House promised to take up a comprehensive democracy reform package ?in the very first days? of the new Congress. As the midterm results made clear, voters will demand that they make good on their promise.  <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=9216e5cb5b&e=9ea5be06a6> Read more.

>From Issue One: The Congressional Reformers Caucus, dedicated to political reform ideas and legislation, now includes 32 members of Congress: 16 Republicans and 16 Democrats. The caucus aims to address the roots of dysfunction in Congress and the current political system and is co-chaired by two members from each party. Members of Congress who are part of the caucus have shown their leadership on these issues by supporting bipartisan legislation to address the dysfunctional Federal Election Commission and combat the national security concerns around paid political advertising campaigns.  <https://americanpromise.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7df407720bf61a8c8416bb9e7&id=3d35ec62dc&e=9ea5be06a6> Read more.

Dear Friends,  Please forward this to your email list. Hope to see you there!
Richard,  for Occupy Mendocino.

The coast will be celebrating Dr. King?s life and legacy on January 21, 2019. 
The Celebration begins at 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church (620 E Redwood at Corry).
 We will march downtown to commemorate Dr. King?s march from Selma to Montgomery.
 At noon, we will assemble back at Trinity to learn about Dr. King?s dream of equality and 
 justice and imagine what he would say about current issues, especially immigration.  
 A wholesome meal follows the program. We will be entertained by Ui Wesley, Danny Barca,
 Maria Ramos, and the Fort Bragg Freedom Singers. There is no fee to attend, but donations
 are welcome. Come join us. We look forward to celebrating with you. For more information,
 call 964-8985 or 937-0334

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Joyous note on Martin Luther King Day
Message-ID: <000401d4b1bf$1a7e4620$4f7ad260$@mcn.org>

Dear friends, Happy Martin Luther King Day! Sun on Philo today, after the
clouds parted last night for a magnificent view of the "blood moon" eclipse.

                This is a joyous note celebrating the day before my wife
Barbara's 70th birthday! She brings joy and love to me in a million ways.

                My writings on avoiding nuclear war have led to involvement
in the first-ever UN workshop on nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons and
threat, at the Non-Proliferation Treaty Conference early May in New York.
With Barbara's techno-help and patient listening, I've been connecting John
Hallam, a leader of the global nuclear peace movement, with a US Air Force
major who held a big "Electromagnetic Pulse Task Force" meeting last fall
and is eager to attend the workshop and call for an international ban on
nuclear EMP weapons! Barbara and I are gearing up to attend, and accepting
financial contributions to help us bring our peace work to the international
stage in New York . I'm getting past my computerphobia somewhat, and am
reading my email lewallen at mcn.org <mailto:lewallen at mcn.org>  and answering
the phone (707)895-2996.

                As the Mendocino Sea Vegetable Company, we'll be offering
seaweed walks and seminars on drying, storing, and cooking with wild
seaweed, mostly from mid-May through the summer. Contact us to be notified
of dates. We're also inviting people interested in supplying us with seaweed
locally harvested and dried to our high standards. Pay can be very good with
proper training, which we'll supply. After 38 annual seasons harvesting wild
seaweed on the Mendocino Coast, we've decided to take a year off from
harvesting for ourselves! Yet the ripening seaweed calls to me on a cellular
level.

Be of good cheer. All communities are moving together in love and support.
Love, John Lewallen

Subject: [Occupymendocino] -Why they fear AlexandriaOcasio-Cortez

Why would Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 29-year-old freshman member of Congress and Democratic Socialist, so rattle both the Republican right and the Democratic center? The short answer is very simple.

Ocasio-Cortez came seemingly out of nowhere and:

Defeated Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's presumable successor Joseph Crowley.
Has a magnetic personality.
Has a narrative that correlates with the reality of most Americans.
Won without corporate money.
Ran a real grassroots campaign.
Ran on an unabashedly Democratic Socialist platform.
Built a 2 million+ Twitter follower base, which means she can direct a large portion of the national narrative.
Uses social media to get her message out and counter attacks in real time.
FAIR's Alan MacLeod pointed out an inconvenient truth.

It is impressive how much Ocasio-Cortez has upset the right-wing in such a short time. But when it comes to actual policy issues and not just Twitter spats, it appears the centrist
