Resistance Therapy/Federal Rapid Response Actions, #2

Fight On Together

On Wednesdays, 10am we host Resistance Therapy/Federal Rapid Response: our mission is to challenge objectionable actions by the incoming Trump administration—legislation, cabinet appointees, executive orders, and more—through education and Calls-to-Action. Members will focus on specific issues or organizations, sharing updates and proposing targeted actions.

Please keep at it - every click and share will help - connect with Denis if you would like to join the team.

TELL YOUR SENATORS - Birthright Citizenship is Guaranteed by the Constitution

14th Amendment. Section 1.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside…. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.”

Despite this indisputable clarity, Trump has stated that he will seek to end the right by executive action.

Do this: Contact your Senators and request they issue a statement asserting this Constitutional right and stating that it can't be removed by executive action.

Tell your Senators - Oppose Cabinet Nominees

“Federal government agencies exist to serve the needs of the American people, including protecting us from harm. Nominees who have expressed an intent to abuse the power of these agencies for personal or political gain, should not be allowed to run those agencies.” –Antonia Scatton, Substack 12/11/24

2 more of Trump’s nominees to object to:

Kash Patel. FBI Director nominee

Believes the 2020 election was ‘rigged.’ Believes in existence of a deep state in the United States and has promoted various conspiracy theories. Said he would come after journalists.

RFK, Jr. HHS Secretary nominee

Anti-vaccine activist, onspiracy theorist. Several GOP Senators may be opposed: Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.

Do this: Urge your Senators to ensure that these dangerous and discriminatory restrictions—specifically Sections 708 and 709 of S. 4638—are removed from the final, negotiated version of the National Defense Authorization Act.
