Welcome to Monday, October 10th, vines and branches...
For years, today was known as Columbus Day. Now, many Americans are redefining the celebration as Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Columbus Day, for some, honors the achievements of European colonizers and celebrates Italian-American heritage. For others, it praises someone who stole land from Native Americans and committed crimes against them.
Indigenous Peoples' Day honors the histories, cultures, and perspectives of Native American communities and shines a light on the misconceptions revolving around Columbus and European colonizers.
Should the U.S. stop celebrating Columbus Day and recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day? ([link removed])

** GOP Bill Would Ban Abortions Nationwide – Do You Support a Federal Abortion Ban?
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Sen. Lindsey Graham and more than 80 House Republicans have introduced a bill to ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
In overturning Roe v. Wade last June, the Supreme Court ended nearly 50 years of constitutional protections for abortion and moved the decision to states. Graham's bill, "Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act", would create a federal abortion ban instead.
Tell your reps if you support Sen. Graham's 15-week abortion ban. ([link removed])
