"A Year Of Resistance: How
An Indecent President Sparked American Greatness"
Simple the best wrap up
I've seen so far of the past year!
It starts like this ...
Last year was tough. I know it, you know it ...
And here are some subtitles ...
And then America shut the door in our face. And it hurt like hell.
Fear Turns Into Hope
And then something magical happened. Out of the pain of the prospect of a Trump Presidency, the Resistance was born.
The seeds of revolution had been sown and the ranks of the Resistance grew. Days that once seemed difficult to face were suddenly filled with purpose.
And since Trump’s election we’ve transformed this country into a politically active one and brought this farce of a Presidency to its knees.
We did that.
Here are some other pretty incredible things we did this year.

COMING SOON... but you may want to prep early...
November 27-29
Please
Join in Virtually Reminding Everyone to #GetCovered because
December 15th
is the
Last Day to Enroll for Affordable Health Care Insurance
(Better known by some as
ACA or “Obamacare”)
On Twitter -- from
6:30 a.m. To 6:30 p.m. EST
➠ The GOP has been working
to repeal The Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (ACA) since the
day it was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010.
Then came the
Trump GOP and the Trump GOP has been working to prevent people from signing up for
affordable health insurance by cutting advertising funds to alert
citizens to the time frame they have to enroll and by rigging the
scheduled hours available to enroll.
As a result, ACA supporters. in
and out of Congress, have been working to share enrollment information on a
variety of platforms and since my favorite platform is Twitter, I'm
working to schedule reminder ACA Tweets every hour on the hour on
November 27, 28 and 29 and you to join in by:
ONE
Retweeting ACA reminder
Tweets directly on my Twitter feed @GKMTNtwits during the 3-day
time frame
TWO
Creating and Tweeting your
own ACA reminder Tweets during the 3-day time frame (using h/t
#ProgressDems so I can find you and Retweet you, too!)
THREE
And, of course, feel free
to be creative and download favorite Tweets and adapt them and share
them on your favorite platforms ...
Every little bit will help
to amplify this critical message for Americans who desperately
need affordable healthcare so if you can do something -- do something
no matter how small it is.
THANK YOU!
Now, just a couple of
technical things ~

Focused Point of Interest
“A Better Deal”
Ensures Long-Overdue Worker Protections
This week, two competing
plans were presented by the Republicans and Democrats, each
ostensibly aimed at helping middle- and working-class Americans.
The
Republicans presented a tax plan that House Speaker Paul Ryan
described as being “for the middle-class families in this
country who deserve a break. It is for the families who are out there
living paycheck to paycheck, who just keep getting squeezed.”
However, many tax experts have determined that the real
winners in the proposed tax plan are corporations and the super-rich.
The Democrats did not
propose a parallel tax proposal that would display their vision for a
just society, but instead unveiled an alternative vision for labor
law, one that would help fulfill the original promise made by the
National Labor Relations Act (NLRA, first enacted during the Great
Depression).
Though it may seem that tax policy and labor policy have
little in common, they each show the parties’ priorities in
addressing income and wealth inequality and the future of the
American worker.
... Republicans have identified the solution as
providing more capital to corporations and the wealthy, so that they
may create more jobs and pass down some of the wealth, Democrats have
identified the solution in giving workers a proper voice in the
workplace to demand higher wages and greater benefits. … “

It’s a simple but powerful idea: We are stronger together."
