The great TATANKA BRICCA fires us up with an excursion into the land of TRUMP TERROR, as the deposed autocrat attacks anyone—especially moderate Republicans—who doubt his Divine Right to permanent power.
Joined by JOEL SEGAL we further explore the new PROGRESSIVE ACTION COALITION and its legislative companion, the SmartALEC, meant to move the legislative agenda toward the Green New Deal, Election Protection, DC Statehood and Social Justice, ending poverty, hunger, homelessness.
Joel also updates us on the all-important federal legislation to protect voter rights, which requires beating or end-running the filibuster.
With JOHN BRAKEY and STEVE ROSENFELD we jump through the rabbit hole into the insane miasma of Arizona’s ridiculous recount.
Steve and GLORIA TINUBU also tell of the Georgia Miracle Project and its upcoming book and movie.
From California we get the inside skinny on the recalled recall…and on the Golden State’s Green New Deal.
From Ohio we hear battle reports on GOP gerrymandering.
And there is SO much more…..Join US!!
Sept. 13, 2021
Part One
Our Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Coalition Zoom #64 covers the lot. We assess:
1. The California gubernatorial recall (destined to fail) anointing Gavin Newsom as a likely Presidential candidate;
2. The attempted extra-legal murder of journalist Julian Assange;
3. Gerrymandering in Ohio, a GOP ritual headed for the courts because of new laws passed to curtail it;
4. Voting Rights Bills FOR THE PEOPLE & JOHN LEWIS under intense attack, with all future elections on the line;
5. The birth of the PROGRESSIVE ACTION COALITION, meant for unified power from the diverse but focussed humanist left;
6. The birth of SmartALEC meant to draft and push progressive legislation;
7. DC Statehood…a full exposition of the critical issues with some of its most powerful advocates.
All in all, a pretty big deal. Don’t miss it!
Part Two: Why DC Statehood
Link: https://statehood.dc.gov/page/why-statehood-dc
For more than 200 years, Washington, D.C. residents have been subjected to systemic inequality and denied the full rights of citizenship that the residents of states enjoy, including voting representation in Congress. It is time to right a great historic wrong.
The District of Columbia is the only political and geographical entity within the United States of America whose citizens bear the responsibilities of citizenship, including taxation and Selective Service registration, without sharing in the full rights and privileges of citizenship.
Washington’s residents pay more taxes than residents in 22 states and pay more per capita to the federal government than any state—yet they have no votes in Congress.
D.C. is subject to the whims of the federal government where Congress interferes with our local laws, local funding and operations.
D.C. has all the same responsibilities, but not the same rights, as our fellow Americans—we are treated as second-class citizens
Like our counterparts in all 50 states, D.C. residents pay federal taxes, serve in the military and on juries, start businesses and families, and contribute to our national economy.
Yet, we are still unable to control our own budget or our own laws, and we still have no votes in Congress.
D.C. residents want statehood and made their voter clear during the 2016 referendum with an 86% in favor to make Washington, D.C. the 51.
Congress passed the Democrat-dominated House by a vote of 232-180. It was the first time that a chamber of Congress had passed such legislation. Currently, legislation was introduced in both chambers and has overwhelming support among Senate Democrats.
Equal Treatment
Since the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, when supporters of Former President Donald Trump attacked the US Capitol, the women and men of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department answered the call to support our federal partners without hesitation and quickly restored order to the Capitol despite not having full representation in Congress.
The lack of precaution by federal authorities to prepare for a highly anticipated attack placed Congressional leadership in danger, clarifies the need for a District of Columbia that controls its own National Guard. Currently, the order must come through the White House.
While our population is larger than that of both Vermont and Wyoming, under the CARES Act, the District was denied $755 million in emergency funds, which is the amount provided to the least populous state through the Coronavirus Relief Fund.
Washington, D.C. is Large Enough to be a State:
D.C. has 712,000 residents, more than Vermont and Wyoming and comparable with other states including Delaware, Alaska, and several others.
Washington, D.C. can Afford to be a State:
D.C. takes on the responsibilities of statehood without enjoying all the rights and privileges embodied in the US Constitution often referred as “taxation without representation”
D.C. residents pay the highest per-capita federal income taxes in the US.
In total, D.C. residents pay more in total federal income tax than residents of 22 other states, but have no say over how those tax dollars are spent.
D.C. now operates as if we’re a state with the exception of federal control over our courts and people in prison for committing felonies in D.C.
D.C. residents are denied representation:
D.C. residents have contributed to this nation just like residents of all other states. More than 11,000 D.C. Residents currently serving in the military can be sent to war to fight for American values, but do not have full voting rights in their own place of residence.
Since World War I, D.C. has sent nearly 200,000 brave men and women to defend and fight for democracy abroad, and tragically 2,000 of those patriots never made it home.
D.C. elects a non-voting Delegate to the US House of Representatives who can draft legislation but cannot vote. The current Delegate for D.C. is Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton.
D.C. residents do not have a voice in Senate Committees or on the Senate Floor. This means that D.C. residents have no say in the determination of who should serve as leadership for federal agencies, Serve as US Ambassadors to foreign countries, sit on federal court benches or serve in the US Supreme Court. This is true even for the federal courts within D.C.’s boundaries.
Statehood for Washington, D.C. is constitutional:
The Constitution sets only a maximum size, “not exceeding ten miles square,” for the federal district that is the “Seat of the Government of the United States” (Article 1. Section 8). Congress has the authority to redefine the borders of the federal district and shrink its size, as it did in 1846 when the portion west of the Potomac was returned to Virginia (now Arlington and Alexandria Counties).
The proposed state map carves out a 2-mile radius to be called the National Capital Service Area, which includes federal buildings, such as the White House, Capitol, Supreme Court and the National Mall. This becomes the seat of the federal government as defined in the Constitution.
We need to revive the basic ideals of American democracy. We know that D.C. statehood cannot wait. Generations of Washingtonians have been denied the right to participate in our democracy – to have their voices and votes heard in Congress, to help shape the future of our nation, and to have a say on Supreme Court justices, whose decisions affect every single person living in the United States. It is time for the 712,000 tax-paying Americans to get full equality and autonomy in their government.

AMERICA’S FIRST NATIONAL JUSTICE ROUNDTABLE

In a brilliant, unique national forum on unified progressive action, legendary activists NAN FARFAN and TATANKA BRICCA convene a powerful pathbreaking forum on saving our planet.

As Trump Republicans assault the right to vote with more than 400 bills pushed into state legislatures, we track the possibilities of the FOR THE PEOPLE ACT and the JOHN LEWIS ACT.
The twin attempts to use federal legal powers to protect our citizens’ ability to exercise the franchise face serious obstacles. JOEL SEGAL and other powerful experts give us the news on what’s happening.
We also discuss next week’s NATIONAL JUSTICE ROUNDTABLE to take place at 1-5pm eastern time, Monday, August 30, will cover the issues of DC Statehood, Election Protection, Saving the Earth & Social Justice/Ending Poverty & Homelessness.
This huge gathering of progressive forces can be accessed this coming Monday via www.electionprotection2024.org. Don’t miss it!!
We also get an update on the by-laws election at the Pacifica Radio Network, with reports from New York, California, Texas, Georgia and more.

AFGHAN DEJA VU; A NEW GEORGIA MIRACLE?; CA RECALL/NEW NY GOV; FOR THE PEOPLE/JOHN LEWIS ACTS; NATIONAL SUMMIT 8/30
For our 61st Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Coalition zoom we note the American flight from Kabul, replicating the one from Saigon on April 30, 1975.
HAS THERE BEEN NO LEARNING CURVE?
We ask the same of REBECCA LANDAU and RAY MCCLENDON as we confront the unlikely Georgia Senatorial campaign of former NFL bust & Trump devotee Herschel Walker.
Rebecca and Ray discuss the major post card campaign and other grassroots tactics meant to keep hold on Georgia’s US Senate seat in 2002.
With TATANKA BRICCA and others we examine the California recall; with JULIE WIENER we face the new Governor in NY.
With JOEL SEGAL we go deep into the major national summit upcoming August 30, 1-5pm eastern, to gather top national leaders & grassroots organizations around Voting Rights/Election Protection; a Green Planet; DC Statehood; and Justice, Homelessness & Poverty.
This monumental zoom will allow key organizers to announce their campaigns, their goals, what they need and how to get in touch. It will be the prime unifying event for the progressive community leading up to the 2022 mid-term elections…and much more.
We also explore the critical progress of the nation’s two critical federal election protection laws, the FOR THE PEOPLE ACT and the JOHN LEWIS ACT. Both are tied up in the complexities of Congressional maneuvering. This report tells us how.
We finish with a round-table of front-line reports. If you are ready to work for a democratic and sustainable future in the country, don’t miss this show!

LAST TRAIN TO SAVING THE GEORGIA ELECTIONS
The hugely publicized special US Senate runoffs in Georgia will determine control of the upper house….and of much of the political agenda for years to come.
This Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Coalition zoom gathering #33 gets into the deep detail of how the election will be conducted and protected.
We’re joined again by RAY MCCLENDON, political direction of the Atlanta NAACP, who fills us in on what’s happening on the ground with getting out the vote.
We also hear from JEANNE DUFORT of Citizens for Good Governance on the complex interior of how the election will be conducted.
From JENNIFER TANNER, EMILY LEVY, LORA CHAMBERLAIN, DON WOLF, JOHN BRAKEY, BOB FITRAKIS & others we cover much of the ground we’ll need to see in making sure the vote count actually matches the public will.
The Fate of the Earth is now in the hands of the voters of Georgia. Listen to find out how we can honor what they have to say.

ARMAGEDDON COMIN’ AT US!!! ^^^^^ please listen to this show.
Our desperate nitty-gritty campaign to protect the 2020 election continues with our 22d GRASSROOTS EMERGENCY ELECTION PROTECTION Zoom.
We start with the 1887 ELECTORAL COUNT ACT that might allow Trump to steal the election with Red legislatures overturning the popular vote and choose their own Electoral College delegations.
This terrifying situation has been reinforced by the pending appointment of yet another right-wing fanatic to the US Supreme Court, who could tip the ultimate vote count to enthrone Trump by 6-3 or 5-4.
Helping Trump’s coup is a court opinion upholding North Carolina’s demand that all mail-in ballots be accompanied by a signed witness affidavit.
Reports of a high rejection rate among African-American voters have raised fears of yet another stolen election, with “cure” possibilities real but complex.
Ballot tracking capabilities in many states could help ease the problem.
Digital scanning machines in Florida and Michigan could be a great way to count votes, but they’re also vulnerable to hacking, especially if they’re discarding their digital images (for no real reason except to cheat).
In an election that will likely turn on those two states, our informed scrutiny could make all the difference.
There is much more. If you are concerned about protecting the election that will decide the future of our species, please listen to this show.

THE ELECTION HAS BEGUN: ELECTION PROTECTION GOES CRITICAL
Ballots are in the mail, & in some places early voting has begun. This ARMAGEDDON ELECTION will determine whether Donald Trump will obliterate our democracy, make himself dictator for life and end our species’ ability to survive on this planet. We cover in deep detail the critical issues surrounding the conduct of the election in NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, OHIO, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA and elsewhere. The right to vote, and to have those votes counted, is under total assault. Nowhere are the details of how to protect this election discussed in greater detail than on these zoom calls. We are further joined by BOB FITRAKIS and GARY KRANE to examine possible non-violent responses to Trump’s promised refusal to leave the White House even if he loses the election. Key to our discussion is the possibility of a GENERAL STRIKE, whose history as an effective tactic of social change and resistance Bob explains. This is our 17th exploration of the electoral emergency we face, as explained at the www.grassrootsep.org website. Don’t miss it.
