Sign up to call voters in California. In this year’s special election, Proposition 50 is on the ballot. It allows voters to decide whether to temporarily redraw California’s congressional map before the midterms. It’s a strategic way to counteract Republican gerrymandering in states like Texas and Missouri, and whether this ballot measure passes could be the deciding factor in whether Democrats have a fair shot at flipping the House next year.

Call Your Airport. Ask if they are playing the misleading, Hatch-Act violating message.
Keep calling Mike Johnson's office to have Adelita Grajava sworn in. She is the 218th signature. And right now the people of Arizona 7th are being re-taxed without representation because he won't swear her in. His number is 202-225-2000 or 202-225-2777 - Especially if you’re in Arizona’s 7th district.

Keep calling your Senators. Tell them to hold the line. We'll see how this ends. I really want to force the Republicans to end the filibuster and fund this government themselves. I don't know if a deal is going to be reached. I do know it's bad to have a government shut down. So I don't really know the right answer. But I do want to applaud our Senators for holding the line on this.
