I know I brought this up before and was shot down...but it is being talked about. I would love to get some expert legal advice on what is possible.

Okay - Listen up people. I just had a meltdown. What are we doing complaining on FB about our crazy president?? I just called my Senators and Congressman and left a message basically saying that the President is CRAZY, mentally unstable and he needs to be removed from office. I said that everyone is pretending that he is "normal". He is claiming that millions of illegals voted in the election. He had his fit about the size of his inauguration crowd. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! HE IS NOT NORMAL! HE IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE. So... I called the White House Senate and House number 3 times. 2 times for my Senators and once for my Representative. You put in your zip code and they ask you who you want to speak to (they give you 2 options for your Senators). I really did leave them messages stating what I said above. We ALL should do this. Here is the number: 202-224-3121

All of here at DU have known for a long time what a horrible human being Donald J. Trump is. The rest of the electorate (except for the minority holdouts) are beginning to open up their eyes that Trump is on his way to destroying us. We MUST demand that politicians, who we elect, do their job and get this madman out of the White House ASAP. We must not stand idly by. I suppose what that means for all of us is jamming the phone lines to our Senators and Congress people, requesting they do what they can to get this man indicted and impeached.

It means we need to march in the streets on a very regular basis. We need to make a lot of noise and we need to revolt. This cannot stand.

Just awesome!

Donald Trump was so proud that he hadn't paid his taxes. I've seen a lot of Facebook posts that ordinary citizens shouldn't pay taxes if Donald Trump doesn't pay his. One idea.

So here you have Donald Trump trying to shut down the ACA, defund Planned Parenthood, shut down NPR, along with a host of other changes. So -- can we, the people, with hold our taxes and use them to fund the causes near and dear to our heart. Can we, the people, somehow use our tax dollars to keep critical services going?

Maybe a sky in the pie dream, but I would like to know from a legal perspective what we, the people can do -- and then figure out how we, the people can organize to get it done.

From my Facebook feed. Please it on. Also, if you have other ideas, perhaps we need to start up a Discussion Thread on what to do, how to help, who to call...etc.


Since Paul Ryan has blocked his office phones and faxes, and is turning away people who show up to deliver petitions, it's time to change tactics.
Please mail post cards to his home address saying NO to defunding Planned Parenthood, NO to repealing the ACA, and NO to privatizing Medicare!

In a stunning revelation today, the Public Editor of the New York Times has announced that her newspaper held off from publishing a story during the election season about Donald Trump’s secret ties to Russia, after the FBI discouraged publication. She’s acknowledging that the story could have “upended” the presidential election between Trump and Hillary Clinton, and she’s criticizing her own newspaper for having been too “timid” in pulling its punches.
