Losing the freedom of speech means the end of open dialogue the rise of oppression, and the loss of singular identity.

• When words are silenced, ideas die.

• The absence of free speech is not peace, it's oppression.

• Losing your voice is the first step to losing yourself.

"In those wretched Countries where a Man cannot call his Tongue his own, he can scarce call any Thing else his own. Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing the Freeness of Speech; a Thing terrible to Publick Traytors." - Benjamin Franklin

Republicans want to cut $30 billion from SNAP, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation As Republican leaders look for ways to offset the costs of a new set of tax cuts, social safety net programs are under discussion.

Trump's team is in "preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps & other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.”

Medicaid, food stamps are now on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

adoptees who were eighteen years of age or
older on February 27, 2001, are not able to
acquire U.S. citizenship through their parents—
then or now.

Visit adopteesunited.org for more info and see how you can help.

The CCA provides automatic US
citizenship for intercountry adoptees who are
adopted by US citizen parents—but only if the
adoptee is under the age of eighteen on a very
specific date: February 27, 2001.

controls how an intercountry adoptee brought
to the United States for adoption becomes a
U.S. citizen.
