My senator, Tammy Duckworth, is having a townhall this evening, and as part of my ongoing efforts to become more politically active and involved, I'm going! I only have an overflow ticket, because I didn’t hear about it until after the "regular" tickets were gone, but I'm going to give it a shot. This will be first townhall of anybody's that I've ever been to, but it definitely won't be the last.
In the past month, i participated in a demonsteation outside the oofice of my congressweasel Peter Roskam and made several phone calls in support of the ACA and in opposition to the appointment of Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Making phone calls has always made me squirm and still does, but I'm working to get over my squeamishness, as I've come to realize how important it is.
Last night, I attended an informational meeting on some proposed legislation concerning immigrants that's currently working its way through our state legislature. The idea, in part, is to fight back against Trump's heinous immigrant roundups and other abuses by empowering state and local police agencies to refuse to do ICE's dirty work for them. I don't know how deeply involved I'll be able to get in that particular area, only because there are just SO many thigs going on, SO many different kinds of efforts to fight back against that ass clown in the White House and his 3 ring circus, that there aren't enough hours in the day to do justice to all of them. But it's good to know what's going on, and I certainly support these efforts.
Tomorrow night is the monthly meeting of local Democrats, and I'm in the process of deciding which activities I'm going to take part in later this week. Right now, I think I'll probably be going to this . I'm dying to see the Chicken Don balloonup close and personal.
