INDIVISIBLE 
Mandarin

The Indivisible movement has planned a National Day of Action on Thursday, January 3, 2019, the new Congress' first day back in session. The theme of the day is “Whose House? Our House!”.   Indivisible Mandarin is participating in this event and has booked a time slot from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. for members to meet in a small group with Rep. Rutherford's staffer, Amanda Wallace, J.D. Please join us to discuss the new reality in Washington as control of the House of Representatives switches to the Democrats. Through dialogue with Ms. Wallace, we will urge Rep. Rutherford to join in bipartisan efforts to improve our current situation and encourage him to support H.R.1,  a bill containing measures which protect and enhance voting and the democratic process. We will also discuss the importance of Rep. Rutherford representing ALL of the people of our district and talk to him about the diverse reality of the district. Those conversations will be based on statistics as well as our experiences while canvassing during the recent midterm election.   For more information or to RSVP, contact Gloria: gloriaeinstein@gmail.com or 904/386-3636 ______________________________________

ATTORNEY GENERAL NOMINEE WILLIAM BARR WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE FOR THE OPEN INTERNET

President Trump’s top pick for Attorney General is an ex-Verizon lawyer–like Ajit Pai. If confirmed, he would be bad news for Internet freedom and privacy.

Barr has a bad track record of putting telecom giants and government spies ahead of Internet users. In the past he’s supported massive telecom mergers, and fought to expand warrantless access to  Internet. But we can stop his confirmation if we can get 51 Senators to vote against him. Sign the petition to tell the Senate: Do not appoint William Barr as Attorney General.
