[NEohioPAL] Dear List, Here is my partisan "Resistance to Trump" posting. Love, Fred

[Dennis Runkle via NEohioPAL]

Thanks Fred! Good to see you at the meeting today!

For additional context on the ResistBot service, here's the website: https://resistbot.io

As you say, we need to engage, to get involved and stay factually informed. We saw last November what happens when 49% of eligible voters don't exercise their rights. We can't assume that those who do vote will have our own interests at heart.

Just text to the number 50409 and type "resist" and then click send and it will walk you through a series of prompts to send letters. It is VERY easy to use. I have been using it every day since I found out about it.

The MOST IMPORTANT thing we can do right now is help Get Out The Vote for the 2018 midterms. 49% of our country did not vote in last November's presidential election and we have to help change that as we go forward. If we can take back the Senate and House of Representatives then that will fast track impeachment. Here is a google drive folder entitles "The Fearless Opposition Tool Kit" that was created by Tim Hagan and his staff. It has a ton of information.
