100 Days of Resistance.

SO MUCH WINNING ... This was supposed to be a HUGE week for Trump to celebrate his 100 days but it turned out to be two victories for us - blocking the funding for the border wall at the beginning of the week and keeping up the pressure on GOP "moderates" to deny them the votes on the latest version of the healthcare bill.

In the last 100 days here are a few of our victories in the Congress, not to mention worldwide marches and public resistance:

We forced the GOP to walk back their plans to gut the Congressional ethics office jamming their phone lines with our protest calls as soon as the news broke.

The withdrawal of Andrew Puzder's nomination for Secretary of Labor after we made over 35,000 calls to Senators on both sides of the aisle.

Forced U.S. Customs and Border Protection to publicly commit to complying with all judicial orders and immediately release data on how many individuals were detained in their custody (by jamming their phone lines all day)

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusing himself from the Russia investigations after we made almost 20,000 protest calls in less than 24 hours

Stopped ExxonMobil from receiving a sanctions waiver so that they could drill for oil in Russia -- with over 6,000 calls to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs within 24 hours of the news breaking.

In one 24 hour period, Trump publicly demanded border walls be included in this week's must-pass budget measures,

8,300 of us called the Senate and made our voices heard ... and Trump publicly retracted that demand and said he would try again in September.

Over 80,000 calls to Congress helped stop both attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.

We certainly haven't won every battle but we are winning a lot of them and most important, we are winning more and more. Stay vigilant, be proud of the amazing work you've done and the wonderful community that we have formed. Share broadly and recruit your friends and family.

Addendum. Trump and his colluding cronies haven't been removed from office yet, but keep resisting. That too will come. For now, here's Representative Ted Lieu's 100 Day Trump Report Card.

Ask yourself something: are you willing to pay higher taxes and have less affordable health care so you can “own the libs” because that’s the price you’ll have to pay if the GOP agenda is enacted … you pay more, their cronies pay less.
