OK OK WE KNOW IT'S THE HOLIDAYS.
STILL, WE HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF THIS:
Demand Ron DeSantis Stop the Combating Violence, Disorder & Looting & Law Enforcement Protection Act
Oppose the Governor’s proposed bill that protects those who would interfere with peaceful protests and abridge our Constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of assembly and to petition the government for redress of grievances.
BECAUSE, HERE'S A REPORT FROM GEORGETOWN LAW ABOUT MILITIAS IN THE U.S.
WE ARE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET:
