Gary and Dee discuss the latest activities of our Republican administration and our Republican Congress. Five weeks of the current administration and what has been accomplished? Would you like to ask your Congressional Representatives? It’s a shame they didn’t hold town hall meetings for us to do that. There seems to be a push in Washington to repeal legislation–legislation that helps protect the average consumer. Fiduciary rule? Clean water? Health care? All of these things and many more are under attack.

Notes from Bernice King on Resistance (daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr.)
Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, posted the 10 steps on how to deal with Trump and take back our democratic government. She passed on this wise advice:
-Don’t use his name; EVER (45 will do)
-Remember this is a regime and he’s not acting alone;
-Do not argue with those who support him–it doesn’t work;
-Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state;
-Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow;
-No more helpless/hopeless talk;
-Support artists and the arts;
-Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it;
-Take care of yourselves; and
-Resist!
Then, Bernice also offered this wisdom on her Facebook page:
‘Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, “When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight! Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.”
‘When you post or talk about him, don’t assign his actions to him, assign them to “The Republican Administration,” or “The Republicans.” This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don’t like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves; Republican representatives will become very concerned about their re-election
