Royal Oak Dems rolled up their sleeves and spent yesterday morning discussing “On Tyranny’s” themes of not obeying, defending our institutions and standing out. Most importantly, discussing how we will put these messages into concrete action in the weeks ahead. We hope you join us!

The purpose of the meeting is to brainstorm what PDs and PVs should be doing now in their precincts. We will break out into smaller groups, come up with ideas and then compile them after the breakout sessions are complete.

Read: Draft of G.O.P. Cost Cuts for Tax Bill Top Republicans are passing around a 50-page list of ideas on how to cover the cost of a tax cut and immigration crackdown bill.

The GOP does not care about us and plans to con the middle class with additional/continued tax cuts for the rich.

This would create a 10 percent tax on imports (which we pay for), increase the cost of healthcare, slash Medicaid, rollback environmental goals, among much more.
