"SAVE ACT" A certified copy of a birth certificate typically costs between $10 and $35 for the base certificate fee if ordered directly from a state or county vital records office. However...

There is a problem if the name on your birth certificate does not match the name on your driver's license... For example: Traditionally Married Women do not match... Trump's main plan is to keep women from voting because they should be at home making babies and raising a family and not worry they're pretty little heads about questions or thinking... Just let their husbands do that... 

JD Vance's birth certificate does not match his driver's license because he changed his name three times... Who Does That??? 

Why is there a bullet hole in the forehead of JD Vance?

Voting by Mail is Great! I find that hiring a LYFT Taxi to go to the polling booth would cost about $50.  I simply would not spend that money... 

IF THE "SAVE ACT" PASSES:  What documents would actually qualify? A valid U.S. passport or passport card, a certified birth certificate paired with a photo ID... 

A standard driver's license alone does not qualify in most states. A REAL ID alone does not qualify. A military ID alone does not qualify. A tribal ID alone does not qualify...

For most Americans, qualifying requires one of the following: a valid U.S. passport or passport card, a certified birth certificate paired with a photo ID, a naturalization certificate, or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad. If your name does not match across those documents, additional paperwork such as a marriage certificate would also be required. https://www.vote.org/save-act/

Democratic Hawaii Gov. Josh Green on Thursday signed into law a bill that takes aim at the court’s ruling that corporations are effectively people with full free speech rights who can face no limits on what they can contribute to political organizations.

We the People not We the Corporations...

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.

"A Fierce Green Fire" movie: a of the ecology movement...
http://www.afiercegreenfire.com

A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle for a Living Planet is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement – grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years from conservation to climate change. Directed and written by Mark Kitchell, Academy Award-nominated director of Berkeley in the Sixties, and narrated by Robert Redford, Ashley Judd, Van Jones, Isabel Allende and Meryl Streep, the film premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2012, has won acclaim at festivals around the world, and in 2013 begins theatrical release as well as educational distribution and use by environmental groups and grassroots activists.
Inspired by the book of the same name by Philip Shabecoff and informed by advisors like Edward O. Wilson, A FIERCE GREEN FIRE chronicles the largest movement of the 20th century and one of the keys to the 21st. It brings together all the major parts of environmentalism and connects them. It focuses on activism, people fighting to save their homes, their lives, the future – and succeeding against all odds.

and A Guy on Facebook Said: Our household is voting NO on the Republican Recall. If California was its own sovereign nation, we would be ranked the 5th largest economy in the world. We are not going to hand the reins of running this state over to a reality TV star, a radio talk show pundit nor a real estate broker. I agree that Gavin has made mistakes, however, they do not rise to the level of being fired from office. Vote NO on the Republican Recall!

and now for something completely different:

Sign the petition: Support National Popular Vote Now. END THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Hillary Got MORE VOTES but we got Trump. Al Gore Got MORE VOTES but we got Bush Jr.

Clearly The Electoral College is a BAD system that Allowed The Two Worst Presidents Ever to be Elected! Write to Your Elected Representative and SIGN THIS PETITION...

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/sign-the-petition-support-national-popular-vote-now

It's time to ensure the candidate with popular support is actually elected. How? With the National Popular Vote Compact.

What's required? States just pass a law awarding their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote. Once states that add up to 270 electoral votes join, then we guarantee that the popular vote winner always becomes president!

We're already 60 percent of the way there. Let's up the pressure.

Sign the petition to all 50 state governments: Join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact so that in the United States we can finally elect our presidents by national popular vote.

https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/ 

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Fix the broken Electoral College - pass National Popular Vote - another Online Petition...

The Electoral College was Intentionally Designed to keep the Masses from Selecting the President... The Founding Fathers wanted to Keep Power in their Own Hands... No Votes for Blacks or Women... only rich white men vote...

• Yes, the climate news is bad, but there's action to be taken.

• Our hopelessness comes from a media system that doesn't place the blame on corporations to protect their bottom line.

• We have to change our media diet if we want to feel less hopeless about climate change.

How to Support the Global Climate Strike on 9/20.

How can I help?
If you want to strike, first, you should understand what it means for you and your job; depending on your occupation, like some state employees, a strike may be considered illegal. As Vice suggests, you might initially suggest to a supervisor to close their doors for the day (or even just a couple of hours) to honor the strike. “Probably this won’t be successful if you work for a large corporation like Chase Bank or Walmart,” Geoff Dembicki writes for Vice. “But small businesses like coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and clothing stores could be receptive. The same goes for medium-size office workplaces.”

Alternatively, use your lunch break to join a local demonstration; you should check out the Strike With Us’ website to find nearby events. Depending on your location, Climate Strike events might be taking place throughout the week, too. And if calling out sick is out of the question, you can donate to organizations like the US Youth Climate Strike (all proceeds will go toward future strikes and initiatives according to their GoFundMe page). And make a public statement of support on social media and help amplify the strike’s message.

Climate activists hope to bring U.S. capital to standstill on September 23.

Environmental groups, including Extinction Rebellion, said on Wednesday they plan to shut down traffic in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 23 and bring daily life to a standstill to demand action by U.S. politicians on tackling climate change. 
The roughly 15 groups planning the protest include traditional environmental groups like 350 DC and Friends of the Earth Action, as well as groups that focus on other issues, such as Black Lives Matter and Code Pink, a women-led group promoting peace and human rights.

Kaela Bamberger, an activist aligned with Extinction Rebellion DC, said the coalition plans to ratchet up pressure on policymakers by shutting down traffic at major intersections because rallies, marches and petitions have not worked.

“This is definitely a next-level action. The urgency of climate change warrants such an attempt to disrupt business as usual... to make it impossible for people with decision-making power to go about their daily lives as if we are not in the climate emergency,” Bamberger said in an interview.
