Something to post at your Congress member's social media pages.

Sent to Rep. Mondaire Jones (D) (NY-17) via Facebook post. Please feel free to post the same to the Facebook and other social media pages of your Congressional representatives. You and the entire membership of both houses are racing to throw another $40 Billion for FIVE MORE MONTHS of a war with Russia that you hope will extend it so long that it causes either a degradation of their military or even, in your wildest delusion, regime change. This is after you gave $13.6 Billion just this year. Meanwhile, this is enough money for an entire year of HUD's budget. Or of the SNAP program - in fact, ALL food aid for a year. Or health insurance for FOUR MILLION Americans. Or enough to fund 400 school districts for a year. Or college tuition for ONE MILLION students for a year. How's the water in Flint? The housing in Chicago? Hunger in Newburgh, NY or Camden, NJ? You dare pretend to be a progressive? You are actually tempting nuclear war rather than feed, clothe, house or provide medi...

Urgent: Tell Congress “No nuclear war with Russia.”

Hi! The admission this past week by a number of members of the US Congress that the US is, in fact, currently in a war warrants a response. So we seek to force Congress to impeach President Joseph Biden if he refuses to stop the hostilities. We need you to send a note to the Member of the House of Representatives in your district.  Apparently, the 435  Members only accept notes from people who live in their district. You can find your district  here : Please send a note like this to your Congressional Representative after filling in the other required fields in the Congress member's web page e-form: "I would like to discuss the situation in Ukraine, in particular the fact that a number of members of both houses have told the media that we are at war with Russia and that they intend for the US to win that war. "Given that there has been no announcement of a declaration of war, nor the passage of an AUMF for such a war, nor approval of the UNSC for military action agai...

My reply to a recent email blast from the Working Families Party

  See this. https://culturacolectiva.com/history/hiroshima-atomic-bomb-nuclear-shadows-history/amp/ That was one person, from one atomic bomb in one city. The US government - Biden, Congress, Langley and the Pentagon - is at war with Russia, as was admitted by at least 7 different members of Congress this past week. Russia has thousands of warheads, reliable delivery systems and the collective memory of almost 30 million casualties the last time an enemy military was placed where NATO is now placed. I think you need to evaluate what abortion rights mean in the context of nuclear war. And get busy dealing with the real problem. If not, please go away and leave me alone. You are either part of the problem, or part of the solution, and this is especially true in matters of an existential nature.          ------ Original Message ------  From: reply@workingfamilies.org To: dondebar@optonline.net Sent: Saturday, May 7, 2022 1:05 PM Subject: The day I got m...

Seeking an immediate conference with Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY, CD-17) regarding war with Russia

Image
Sent via webform to Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY, CD-17) after being told by two of his offices that he doesn't take calls from constituents and having a robo-answer at the third office. I would like to discuss the situation in Ukraine, in particular the fact that a number of members of both houses have told the media that we are at war with Russia and that they intend for the US to win that war. Given that there has been no announcement of a declaration of war, nor passage of an AUMF for such a war, nor approval of the UNSC for military action against Russia, I would like to make some suggestions regarding remedies as afforded by the US Constitution and international law, the former of which, at a minimum, you have sworn to uphold. Given the urgent and perhaps existential nature of the current situation, I would like to have this conversation immediately. I received this reply by email: Thank you for contacting my office. It's important to me to hear directly from the residents...
