We need pushback now, not later.

If we wait and put all our eggs into the midterm basket, we'll likely have waited until the 'vote' is cooked and irrelevant. IMHO, there's no sense in giving this Administration a head start in breaking the backs of all Americans.

Protest everyday, everywhere and all at once. The Pritzker Rule.
