"A Vote For Trump Is A Vote For Putin"

Highest regards!, Please consider a rant entitled "A Vote For Trump Is A Vote For Putin" based on this latest shitshow in the House and years of collusion? It's a simple message and might make a good ProDEM campaign ad series, with appeal to battleground IND voters. https://www.thedailybeast.com/all-that-drama-and-house-republicans-only-win-was-for-the-kremlin

An opportunity for you

Hello PG, I have been a listener for a long time and a premium member from the beginning. Let me talk you about me. I am a higher education coordinator at a community college in Dallas. My biggest responsibility is helping to manage the 7 campus SGA chapters. With that in mind, I have to organize different leadership conferences for the 80+ student leaders that represent the 80k from the college. My ask is this.... do you ever do speaking engagements? If you do, what is your charge and can you do something specifically about how the SGA is a parallel to the government and the atrength and power that these leaders have. I am doing a training at the end of September and anything from you (recorded would be great) could really make an impact. Just your story of moving to the US is inspired . This probably is not the best way to connect but.... I'm at a loss. Thank you, Kelly Sonnanstine Dallas College

Fighting Back

Just wondering why do you think so many women are not standing up for thier Rights? I see some larger cities are kicking back but nothing like we saw with the election of Trump.How do you put a fire under the butts of ladies like we saw in the 60's and 70's?

I Am Horrified By This Latest Development As Reported By AP. Please Help!

Hi Leigh, The AP just reported this a few days ago. If true, this is horrifying for our democracy! https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-conservatives-trump-heritage-857eb794e505f1c6710eb03fd5b58981 Is there anyway you can get this message out to the electorate to fight back. This is what will happen if we lose this election and they are saying it out loud. I believe them! Thank you for all you do. Regards, Peter

Get out the vote...

Hi Leigh, Glad you are doing what you do. You bring real insight and the people who know to the table… Much appreciated and I learn something new every week..! As I say, I reserve the right to get smarter, and you help that along the way. BTW, I am also a Canadian from New Brunswick. Now living on an island north of Seattle. I had an idea several months ago and figured if I came up with the idea, someone smarter would have already thought of it. But I have also learned in my field that that is more often not the case. So here is the idea / question… If we (meaning if I have heard you and your guests correctly) say there are two key factors to turning things around or getting back on the right track, are; Get every eligible voter out to vote. Regardless of affiliation. Putting money in the hands of the lower 95% will do more to stimulate the economy than putting the same amount in the hands of the top 5%. So, would it be possible for the executive branch to authorize a $1,000 tax rebate for every vote cast..? Or at a minimum, put it on the table so the House says “no way” and you have them on record. If possible, most would see this has a refund that they would get in early 2025, and my guess is it would help those individual families as well as the economy. My guess..(?) So, the math… Say there is 230 million eligible voters and 200 million vote, hence getting a tax credit. And significantly getting the vote percentage up. That is a $200 billion assist to citizens and a boost to the economy, bottom up not top down. If this got put in place to happen for Federal elections every 2 years, I think you would have a win / win… I know your circle has way more knowledge and influence than my circle, so thought I would place it in your circle. Just a thought… Thanks for creating a place to ask questions.
