It's all hands on deck to GET OUT THE VOTE!
We will soon be slammed with Republican anti-transgender ads, again. At a back-to-school event with President Trump last month, his Secretary of Education Anti-Trans WWE co-founder Linda McMahon repeated the lie that schools secretly transition children and threatened their federal funding over supposed “radical experiments.”
“After the Biden administration allowed schools to secretly transition students without parents’ knowledge, President Trump is defending parental rights like never before,” McMahon said. “At his direction, we are working hand in hand with the Department of Justice to ensure no school district ever has more power over a child than their own parents.”
Here is the question I have: can anyone give me one example where a parent dropped off their child at school as Tom, and picked them up later that day as Tiffany? Or perhaps dropped their child off as Tiffany and when they picked their child up they were now Tom? Anyone? Never happened.
Speaking of Tom Tiffany, our sage DPOC member Joe Messinger reminded us at our meeting last week, how to respond to the inane claims these Republican candidates are making. He used the example of Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's response to the personal attacks he is getting. Joe told us “Ignore the attack and remind people that Republicans would rather talk about anything than talk about the cost of gas, the price of groceries, the ability to go to a doctor, or send their kids to a great school, or the War in Iran. You can watch the interview to which Joe was referring, here:

If you ask Tom Tiffany, he has no memory of his voting record regarding the Iran War and the impact his votes have on gas prices. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had to remind us that Tom Tiffany has voted with Donald Trump 100% of the time.
You do not have to attack their messages, just remind our Oz friends that we are in this mess because Trump, with the support of Republicans in Congress, went to war in Iran, and went to Venezuela and abducted their President to enrich himself. Trump’s personal wealth has increased 165% since his second inauguration, he is now worth more than $6.3 billion. War is profitable for those in power. War is horrible for the rest of us, so they try to distract us with hate.
I will end as always, asking you to volunteer. Watch for opportunities that fit your style and schedule and sign up. Please help out any way you can these next 45 days. Losing is not an option.
