FRIDAY RECAP: Nov. 4, 2022

Democrats have just five days left to convince the American electorate that they, alone, have the will to combat corporate greed (which is fueling inflation), to ensure that we all have the right to economic security, and to protect our fundamental freedoms (including abortion), our democracy, our voting rights, the integrity of our elections and the peaceful transfer of power.
Please choose one or more of the topics from this week’s Daily Actions, or any other concerns, and call your Members of Congress.

DEMOCRACY IS ON THE BALLOT

President Biden said yesterday: “I wish I could say the assault on our democracy ended [January 6]. But I cannot. As I stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in America: for Governor, for Congress, for Attorney General, for Secretary of State, who won't commit to accepting the results of the elections they're in. That is the path to chaos in America. It's unprecedented. It's unlawful. And, it is un-American . . . "

IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID

“This election is “a choice between two vastly different visions for America. Democrats are building a better America for everyone with an economy that grows from the bottom up and the middle out, where everyone does well. Republicans are doubling down on their mega MAGA trickle-down economics that benefits the very wealthy.” President Biden, October 27, 2022.

FRIDAY RECAP: october 28, 2022

The upcoming midterm elections are the most important of our lifetimes, since they will determine whether our constitutional democracy survives. While Democrats want to protect and strengthen our democracy, MAGA Republicans want to ensure that only they get the chance to govern, no matter the actual votes. This week’s DAs speak to these issues. Pick one or more of them for additional calls to your Members of Congress. Even if you know they share your position, hearing from you strengthens their resolve. If these 3 DAs don’t move you, pick an issue you find important and tell your MOC how you feel about it. Then work to support democracy’s survival by canvassing, phoning voters, joining Indivisible Oregon or another group, and writing postcards and letters to voters to infrequent voters in battleground states and districts.

Pro-Democracy’s Better Strategy

Americans are being offered the choice between liberal democracy and fascism. If we are going to win the hearts and minds of Americans, we need to understand better why people respond to GOP packaging and outdo them. Anand Giridharadas has offered us many useful tools to consider.

FRIDAY RECAP: october 21, 2022

November’s elections will be a battle. The advantage polls gave Democrats early in the year has evaporated. Now, we fight for every vote. Pick a topic from those listed below and call your Members of Congress. You may know they already share your view but hearing from us gives them more resolve. If you don’t find something below to fight for, pick the things that you are most concerned about and tell your MOC about how you feel. Then work for it. Canvass. Phone. Join a group, like Indivisible Oregon, or another and write postcards and letters. Get involved. Republicans want to destroy democracy and create something that benefits white men or billionaires. We can’t let that happen. You can’t let that happen.

REPUBLICANS ARE MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM COVID

Covid savagely attacks unvaccinated adults, who are more likely to be Republicans. Data from the Centers for Disease Control also confirms that more White Americans now die from Covid than Black Americans, who were, at one time, three times more likely to die. The increasing threat especially to White Republicans is likely the result of the GOP’s campaign against government and experts while promoting what they sold as “individual choice.” We need to fight against lies for the lives of all Americans.

ABORTION, THE FIRST RIGHT TO BE TAKEN

ABORTION, THE FIRST RIGHT TO BE TAKEN

Today, three weeks before the midterm elections, President Biden will remind voters that Republicans want a national abortion ban. This election is about many issues, but abortion tells us everything we need to know about how Republicans will hide their positions and then impose the minority’s extreme views on us all. That’s not democracy. It’s fundamentally unAmerican. Volunteer and boost the Democrat of your choice.
