I saw Bernie in Mingo County because I'm spending a little time there and in Boone Co. with Dr. Ron Stollings, a middle of the road Democrat in Boone who served in the WV Senate for 24 years and ran for governor in 2020. We've been talking about how to reach Trump supporters, in some of the reddest counties, with the truth of what Republicans are doing. My newest sign wil read.... Republicans Lie! Their Party, Today, Is Anti-American.

Come tomorrow to the courthouse and let's talk. I'll be there 11:30 -1:00.
BERNIE'S KNOWS HE'S GOT THE TOOLS AND A PLAN
Come talk

A lot on my mind including Bernie Call Tuesday12th at 7:00. I can forward HIS invite to you.

Here is an Action We Can Take, Bigger than Signs on the Street. BECOME A SANCTUARY COMMUNITY

The idea came from Robert Reich’s post today
https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-you-and-your-neighbors-can-become?utm_source=substack&publication_id=365422&post_id=170627997&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=false&r=bic9w&triedRedirect=true

This is the key line in the Post:

The Trump regime cannot prevent us from joining together with other citizens to become a Sanctuary Community — providing assistance to families whose lives and well-being are threatened by Trump’s federal police.
Let’s form a sanctuary community. We can do it to protect people from ice, but we could also do it to organize around and maybe do more. We need to come together as a people against the growing attack on the rule of law and democracy

An important way to fight Trump fascism. You can organize it.

I have to miss our fledgling protest Friday 8/8. I have a funeral to attend in Virginia at 1:00 the 8th. Leaving tomorrow 8/8.
I reached out to a couple of supporters, asking them to lead. So far, no takers. I'll keep trying.

I will be back to hear BERNIE, but in Lenore-Mingo Co., not in Charleston. I've make contacts in Boone and Mingo trying to find a way to break into the political conversation there. Can we make sense with any Trump supporters??? That's my question. I don't see anyone trying, at least not yet.

If you want Capito Care don't come the to Federal Court House today.

Is West Virginia ready for Capito Care? • West Virginia Watch By 2027, the largest cuts to Medicaid in history will have been ushered in by HB 1 hurting a broad swath of West Virginia families.

At least 40 people turned out to see the Accused go to Court yesterday.
We need a crowd like that just one or two times at the Federal Courthouse to stir things up with ICE. (and not get arrested) I heard a ICE horror story yesterday. A Charleston business owner who confronted ICE successfully in part.

Bernie will be in Charleston on Saturday, August 9! It's going to be a great event.

The GSA has granted us permission to protest every Friday at the Federal CourtHouse until Sept. 5th. I chose the 5th because I'll be in France the 2 Fridays after the 5th. But we can extend the time if we can grow our effort. JOIN US TOMORROW FOR 10 MINUTES OR whatever time you have between 11:30 & 1:00

Look who we saw in Washington while we lobbied for action on Climate Change. Justice was with baby dog in his own "cart" but I haven't heard any more details from Mikayla Hamrick (R)
