#WI01– Tomorrow afternoon (1:15) Randy @IronStache Bryce will be joined by Bernie Sanders, Mark Pocan & Chuy Garcia for a rally at the United Auto Workers, Local 72 Hall on Washington Road in Kenosha. Now that's what I call a great lunch break– and it's free!
Speaking in Iowa on Sunday ahead of a possible 2020 presidential run, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thanked voters in the state for showing that his progressive policy ideas resonate with the public.
Sanders narrowly lost the 2016 Democratic Iowa caucuses to Hillary Clinton, a result that he called a “tie” that fueled his campaign that year. Sanders ultimately lost the nomination to Clinton but received millions of votes.
“Why it was important in terms of what Iowa did in that very first caucus, is that it showed the American people that the ideas that we were talking about were not radical ideas or extremist ideas or ideas that were outside of the mainstream,” Sanders said at a rally at Iowa State University.
“So it started off in Iowa and it went to New Hampshire and it went across the country. And ideas that just three years ago were perceived to be radical and extremist ideas are now ideas that are supported by the vast majority of the American people. Thank you Iowa,” he added.
Early voting starts today here in Texas so JD and I will go cast our Beto voted asap. The Beto signs are multiplying everytime I venture out. Most of my new block are showing their support so I know my neighbors are alright 🙂
I’ve already mailed it in. It’s my practice to vote early either early voting or absentee. Started it years ago as I went to visit my mom during the general election and I would take her to vote. She’s been gone for awhile, but I still vote early.
Allred pounced on his answer, pointing out that Sessions has voted at least 50 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He said the repeal bills would have removed protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions.
“This is a moment when I’m thankful for Google,” he said. “I’m really not interested in some plan he’s put forward that has never gotten a vote in the Congress. I’m interested in what he’s voted for.”
“It is the height of cynical politics to, in an election season now…to try and change your position on it,” Allred continued. “The people of North Texas deserve better than that.”
Allred supports allowing all Americans to have access to Medicare, and he would seek to bring down the price of prescription drugs.
The candidates also disagreed on immigration.
Sessions said he supports building a wall along the nation’s southern border with Mexico, one of Trump’s signature proposals, to keep immigrants from illegally entering the county.
“A wall is important for us to have,” Sessions said. “Part of it would be high fences, part of it will be making it secure.”
Allred countered that such a wall was impractical.
“That is the wrong solution. It’s ineffective. It’s a waste of money,” Allred said.
Meet the Pro-Kavanaugh Republican Running the Newest Buffy Wicks PAC
Taking a look into the backers of this Buffy Coalition PAC reveals an extremely disturbing cast of characters, none of whom have any intention of doing “A LOT TO STOP DONALD TRUMP.” In fact, they are backing Buffy because in a deeply blue state, corporate Democrats like her are the best Republicans can hope for to accomplish their agenda.
First, there’s Ashlee Titus, one of the PAC’s treasurers. She’s a lawyer at Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk LLP in Sacramento, “the state’s Republican law firm”. (The PAC shares a mailing address, phone number, and email with the firm). Ashlee is the president of the Sacramento branch of the Federalist Society, a secretive group of far right-wing lawyers who have hand-selected Trump’s many judicial picks
There are three other PACs who fund Buffy’s Coalition PAC, and they are all bad news for the regular working people of AD15.

hahahahahaha! so i don’t cry. i hope Beckles gets this out far and wide.
Republican Representative John Faso is locked in a statistical tie with his Democratic opponent Antonio Delgado in the 19th Congressional District in the Hudson Valley, an exclusive Spectrum News/Siena College poll released Monday found.
The poll found Faso drawing 44 percent, with 43 percent surveyed backing Delgado. Actress Diane Neal, running an Independent bid, received five percent. Green Party candidate Steven Greenfield receive one percent. Seven percent of voters are undecided.
The 19th Congressional District, which runs from the Capital Region to the northern outskirts of the New York City metropolitan area, is one of the most hotly contested races in the state if not the country that could decide control of the House of Representatives.
The poll found a significant gender gap between Faso and Delgado. Women voters backed Delgado by a 17-point margin. Men support Faso by 19 percentage points.
I’m so tired of non-natives attempting to use natives to attack Elizabeth Warren. Right now I’m more worried about my relatives in North Dakota who’s votes are being suppressed by the GOP & SCOTUS & Warren is fighting for a Native Voter Rights Act.

Warren is not claiming tribal membership. Rather, distant descendancy. This is her truth. She has shown that she is not fraud in that she has not used Native heritage to gain employment. Time to put down the pitchforks. I will support Warren as long as she fights for my People.

Speaking of dishonest Republicans, I was so pissed off last Friday by a flyer I received in the mail.
A flyer for a very good Dem candidate for CT Senate (I met her and she seems really good, solid, smart & passionate) finally arrived in the mail last Thursday. I was all happy, showed hubby, told him to vote for her, it was the first one from her, whereas we’ve been getting inundated with flyers from the incumbent Repub. It was a very positive flyer, just outlined all the good things she wanted to accomplish, doesn’t even mention that she’s running on the Dem ticket, said she was an independent (she used to be associated with the WFP).
The very next day a NASTY flyer with a graphic of Julie (Kushner)’s head on a puppet claiming that she’s a “RADICAL LIBERAL WHO WILL PUPPET TO THE SPECIAL INTEREST OF MALLOY AND THE BIG UNIONS”, on one side and the other side a darkened photo of her claiming that she wants higher taxes, increased debt etc. God I hate attack ads. Adds such a bitter flavor to the brew. A real turn off for me. And the timing of the ad was very suspicious.

Might I recommend my approach to mailers? They go straight to the recycling bin without a glance, treated like the white noise they are. You cannot trust a thing that’s in any of those, even the seemingly friendly ones.
They mail to all voters but they specifically are targeted at the uninformed voter, to scare them into voting against their best interests. Sadly it does work otherwise they wouldn’t spend the money on them. Now for the informed voter like us here they go in the recycle bin once I have a good laugh over the BS on them.

Tip Jar for the usual suspects….
Be sure to click on the graphic to read the article. It’s a pretty good summation. The AP has since altered the storyline a little.

I wish Beto had not walked back his comment about Ted and he had been tougher on Cruz/Trump. Gillum gave it his all and I think it will pay off.
