FEDERAL:
Hold Tillis Accountable on Foreign Intervention in Our Elections:
Tillis still seems content to defend Trump when it comes to accepting foreign interference in our elections. We’ve called several times to push for a statement, and so far, despite overwhelming evidence that Trump sought to extort political favors from Ukraine, Tillis is standing by his man. Yeah, he’s afraid of losing a primary, but he should be putting our democracy over his political career.
Script:
Hello, my name is _____________ and I am a constituent from ____________. I want to know if Sen. Tillis still thinks it’s appropriate that Trump sought to extort political favors from Ukraine by withholding military aid. Has Sen. Tillis issued a new statement on this? Does he think it’s appropriate to withhold military aid and to put the safety and sovereignty of Ukranian citizens at risk?

.@SenThomTillis thinks it's okay for the President to withhold military aid in exchange for interference in our 2020 elections. @SenThomTillis time and time again you choose your failing party over country and Constitution. #OneTermThom #DemCastNC

STATE:
NCGA Elections:
The NCGA has finally adjourned for the 2019 session and won’t be back until January, so I will be posting fewer actions involving calls to your state lawmakers. Now would be a good time to identify candidates you’d like to support in 2020, though, and I CANNOT stress enough: winning back at least one chamber of the state legislature (if not both) is FAR more important than picking up a Congressional seat or two. This does not mean we should ignore Congress, but unless y’all want to be doing daily Facebook actions for another decade, the Democrats HAVE to have a seat at the table when we’re drawing districts in 2020. See below for a couple of actions to help make that happen.
Red For Ed Rally:
[From my favorite PTA President] On Wednesday, November 20 from 8:30 to 8:40 a.m., please come out, in your red attire, and take a stand to support our educators. Let's let our legislators know that the billion dollars they want to give to big corporations, for tax breaks, should be invested in our public schools. Just 10 minutes of your time says and means a whole lot! Join us on Wednesday morning in front of the school on Fayetteville Street. Thanks for your continued support!!!
