Democratic Rep Calls for Resignation

Dem Rep Seth Moulton calls for Rep. Franken to resign

After allegation that Franken has engaged in inappropriate conduct with women, Moulton has called for his resignation.

By not resigning Franken is sending the message that sexual assault and harassment is ok in the work place and in any other scenario.

Its plain and simple if she or he says no to your advances do not engage in touching or groping that person. A person may not always say no you also have to look for clues in body language when a person is uncomfortable with touching or any other contact BACK OFF.

BREAKING!!

A whole bunch of senators have signed and sent a letter to Ajit Pai, demanding him to once again delay the FCC’s vote on a net neutrality repeal until he comes clean about his sh*t. The letter even called out the FCC on their use of bots to unfairly tip the balance in favor of the repeal.

Your voices are starting to pay off, but the battle is far from over. If you haven’t done your part yet, please contact your senator or local representative and let them know how much you DON’T WANT net neutrality to be repealed.

Don’t stay silent! Positive change doesn’t come from apathy or inaction. If you keep this up and then some for as long as necessary, you guys could win this battle and stop this looming threat on an open internet.

Twenty-eight senators are calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to delay its vote on repealing its net neutrality rules next week, citing concerns over the possibility that the agency’s public comment file may be filled with fake comments.

The group, led by Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), wants the FCC to conduct an investigation into whether the net neutrality docket’s public comment record was tampered with.

“A free and open Internet is vital to ensuring a level playing field online, and we believe that your proposed action may be based on an incomplete understanding of the public record in this proceeding,” the senators wrote in a letter to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai. “In fact, there is good reason to believe that the record may be replete with fake or fraudulent comments, suggesting that your proposal is fundamentally flawed.”

Keep up the calls!

“Religious Freedom” or Discrimination

So this is what we are doing now?!?!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, just told the press that Trump thinks that its okay for businesses to post signs that they have the right to refuses their services to them.

This reverts back to previous occurrences in history were businesses could post signs saying they can refuse service to African American citizens.

If “religious freedom”  gives these people the right to do this, then this takes us back 20 steps towards becoming a more inclusive country
