Notable that Rob Wittman, House Armed Svcs Comm Vice Chair, is silent . It is important that #VA01 constituents contact Rob & tell him to vote for the War Powers Resolution to block use of US forces against Iran.

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature
Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

FCC Chair Brendan Carr doesn’t want you to see Colbert’s interview with Texas Rep. James Talarico. CBS obeyed in advance by not allowing the interview to air. So, Colbert put it on YouTube, where it has been viewed nearly 5 MILLION times. Let’s help push it across the threshold. Watch here.

Reminder that this event is on Tuesday! Deliver comments/signs/cards/letters to Wittman’s office.

He's in OUR seat, supposedly working for US. But instead he's kneeling to the President, plotting to take away our votes, and working for his wealthy donors. #FlipVA01

Republicans are enemies of democracy. Call your Senators today. And if you have a Republican congressperson, give them a piece of your mind.

Call out his lies. Noncitizens do not vote in our elections. Wittman wants to stay in power by making it difficult to impossible to cast our votes.

Join this event on 2/17 to deliver comments/signs/cards/letters to Wittman’s office.

Let Wittman know that he is supposed to represent the constituents in #VA01, not bend a knee to the President. Let him know what he should do to stand up for our democracy.

Now that we have evidence in black and white of horrific abuse of young girls, what’s the republican response? Make it harder for women to vote.
