“Alliance for an Inclusive America” Launches In Tokyo

Concerned Americans and others in Tokyo have just launched the “Alliance for an Inclusive America,” as part of the worldwide call for bridges, not walls. The Alliance consists of organizations and people with similar objectives.

The Alliance will serve primarily as an information conduit among groups and individuals. We will launch a website and facebook group so that all Alliance members may add their event information and in turn share information from the Alliance with their mailing lists.

From my friend Selena

– where does your senator stand ?
We all know there are mistake on google docs but have a look. Does it look like your rep is repping you? Find your state, see position and review their comments or silence. do these silent positions show nothing but scared representation? lack of spine or what?

They’re protecting their jobs and NOT doing what they were elected for.
We cannot be silent, therefore they cannot be silent! Demand that they step up and vote and stop this foolishness. call them and let them know you do vote.

They must take a stand by Voting or they can step down…or they can be voted out.
