Be afraid. Be very afraid!

That’s the message from Donald Trump, who is making a group of immigrants straggling towards hoped-for asylum in America a political issue in the Midterm Elections.

Trump calls these people, many just children,“not little angels,” “bad people,” “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners.” The Republican President said, “Think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws!”

The fact that Republicans control not just the Presidency, but the House and Senate as well, seems to have escaped him. It hasn’t escaped us. We know that getting balance back in government is crucial to passing comprehensive, sensible, humanitarian immigration reform.

Let's send Mr. Trump a message that we will not be cowed by his shameless scaremongering. Help GOTV with one of the many campaigns where our fearless democrats are running:


For recommendations on ballot initiatives, check out the Progressive Voters Guide by Fuse. My personal recommendations are; Yes on 1631, 1639, and 940, and No on 1634 (this initiative is being heavily financed by the Sugar lobby, which is also a big contributor to Dan Newhouse). I also recommend voting "Maintained" on Advisory 19.

To participate in reclaiming America, donate to one or more campaigns, canvass, make phone calls, write letters, use social media to reinforce candidate messages. Stop on in at the Democratic Headquarters 1212 N 20th Ave. Ste B in Pasco or call Savanna Steele at (509)209-9825 to get plugged in with Canvass and Phone Banking Opportunities.

Remember, when we win, America wins!
