ENCDC At The Encinitas Spring Fair:
Vote Like It's 1776!!

The club themed its booth centered around how important voting is, using the initial creation of our country as a period of time quite similar to the present day. Once again we had good public response: Lots of interest, lots of questions, and we ran out of some materials. See more pictures on the Events page.

No Kings - So What's Next?

NO KINGS DAY
NEWS

Last October more than 7 million Americans turned out to protest the Washington Regime. Our next NO KINGS DAY March and Protest is going to be even bigger than the last one!

More than 8 Million people showed up for the March 28th event, making it the largest protest in American history.

If you want to help with the event, check out the training activities here.

For regular updates and details on the when and where go straight to the No Kings main page here.

CALL TO ACTION:

ICE agents have injected terror, cruelty and chaos in our communities.

Show your solidarity with the activists in Minnesota by joining this protest meant to draw attention to how the Trump regime is using ICE to terrorize our communities and the corporations that are complicit in supporting these actions. Meanwhile the Senate continues to deliberate on the so-called SAVE Act, which will disenfranchise literally Millions of voters. Passing that will of course initiate many State-funded law suits, but we don't want to even get there. This bill must be voted down!

APPROPRIATIONS BILL

Its up to us to stop ICE

JOIN US in calling members of Congress Members and Senators to demand "No votes for the Appropriation Bill that doesn't rein in ICE" (deadline to call Jan 30)

SAVE Act

Senate democrats must stand firm on their opposition to this bill, which will raise the bar on identifications, requiring birth certificates (which won't be enough for women voters who have changed their name through marriage) or a US Passport, which millions of people never thought they would need (and don't have). It amounts to a Poll Tax, which is unconstitutional. But we can't rely on SCOTUS to bail us out.

IRAN War

The DoD is asking for $200 Billion to fund a war with no reason, no plan, and no end date. How about NO!!

CALL DEM LIST:

Congress Member Mike Levin 760.599.5000

Congress Member Scott Peters 858.455.5550

Congress Member Sara Jacobs 619.280.5353

Senator Alex Padilla 202.224.3553

Senator Adam Schiff 202.224.3841

Your message can be brief:

“This is (your name) from San Diego. I’m a voter and a taxpayer and I’m asking you to vote NO on the new Appropriations Bill. No more DHS funding for ICE until their terror campaign is reined in. Thank you for taking my call.”

ACA SUBSIDIES

Email your Senators and demand they restore ACA subsidies.

Send These Postcards to your Representatives

It's important that your representatives hear from you as to the things that are important to you. This can include: Other GOP representatives in your state, Your Senators, Chuck Schumer, Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries, and maybe others. The Majority Project has a great way to do it, with this handy (printable on card stock) postcard download. You can also get pre-made postcards sent to you via their website (charges apply).

I'll be updating this column frequently, so check back for more events as the year progresses.
