Hope everyone continues to call as we continue to hold KOSA off from being added to a spending bill this secession. Even though Johnson has reiterated several times that KOSA is not moving this secession, be aware that it will likely come back sometime after the next secession begins in January and we'll have to be ready for that too. Remember there are also other bills we can be calling about as well:

Pass the No Kings Act

Pass the Defiance Act

Pass the Press Act

Oppose KOSA

Opposa HR 9495

Oppose Trump's cabinet picks

Oppose funding wars and violence

If there's anything I missed let me know, but we've done well in holding off KOSA again and need to keep at it. So, keep calling, emailing, faxing Congress and post information about KOSA and other bills.

Update: I was informed about other bills to be aware of and to oppose:

S.5384 which would abolish the Department of Education

HR 9218 which would re-define what biological sex is, there is also a Senate version of this bill which aims to define what male and female are

Trump Says Republicans 'MUST KILL' Bipartisan Bill to Protect Press Freedom

Donald Trump demanded Republicans in Congress kill legislation aimed at blocking government espionage against journalists.

"REPUBLICANS MUST KILL THIS BILL": Trump orders GOP to snuff out press freedom bill

The Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act would make a current Department of Justice rule barring prosecutors from compelling the release of journalists' sources into federal law. The bill passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives with unanimous support in January. Currently held up in the Senate, the bill came to Trump's attention after a segment on the act aired on "PBS NewsHour."

H.R.4330 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): PRESS Act

---

I think it might be good idea to support this Bill if trump hates it so much. Maybe Tell your House representatives to vote the H.R.4330 PRESS act. Frame it as protecting whistleblowers from democratic reprisal if needed.

House passes PRESS Act

The PRESS Act, which now heads to the Senate, is the strongest federal shield legislation proposed to date.

A concrete step to take: write, email, call your Senators and tell them they need to pass this.

Dec. 2nd 2024

Today is December 2nd and the Senate is back in secession. While it looks like they are going to be focused on judicial appointments until the end of their secession, which I believe is December 19th, you can still call about opposing and supporting certain bills.

You can call to oppose H.R 9495

You can call to oppose Trump's cabinet picks

You can call to support the Press Act

You can call to support the No Kings Act

While KOSA is currently in the House, who meet tomorrow, you can still call the Senate to oppose KOSA and support data privacy legislation
