Holiday Break
December 23, 2017 to January 3, 2018


The Ten-Minute Activist is announcing a break for Christmas and the holidays beginning today. We plan to resume on Wednesday, January 3, but of course we’ll spring into action before then in the event of emergencies or sudden developments.

Before you enjoy a much-needed respite from angst, if you have not yet written your Christmas/New Year wish list to your representatives, now’s a good time!

Our wish list includes:

• Medicaid/Medicare expansion to cover all Americans;
• a clean DREAM act with a path to citizenship and no strings attached;
• serious gun control legislation;
• legislation, such as the No PACS Act,  which would prohibit representatives from taking contributions from PACS or corporations;
• legislation to hamstring Citizens United;
• Electoral College reform, and legislation to prevent gerrymandering;
• federal legalization of marijuana;
• getting rid of the Sheriff of Nottingham tax scheme;
• a return to the Paris Accord and making climate change a serious priority;
• that all branches of government give Mueller full support;
• that the President be held accountable and required to produce his Income Tax returns as well as divest from his business interests.
  
  Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays!
