RE: Why is Trump doing this?

  Hi John, Did you catch this? Trump is ending enforcement of environmental regulations on big corporations. This is a big deal. Trump is using our national crisis as an excuse to give his friends (the CEOs and top executives of these corporations) a big break by allowing them…

Environmental protections suspended (yes, you read that right...)

John, In the midst of a global crisis, Trump is hard at work... giving corporations a big break by ending enforcement of EPA environmental regulations. That’s right, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that it will stop enforcing environmental regulat…

Georgia’s "reopening" is a huge risk

  John, These are extraordinary times. Georgia is in the news again and unfortunately, not for a good reason. Gov. Brian Kemp has announced that he plans to reopen nail salons, massage therapists, bowling alleys and gyms this Friday, contrary to the advice of top epidemiolog…

Fwd: John thanking Dr. Fauci

    John, Did you see this email my team sent you? It’s vital that during this time of uncertainty and crisis, Americans have confidence in their leadership to steer our country in the right direction. And while Trump failed to do this, America has found a true leader in Dr.…

Thank you, Dr. Fauci

  John, During a crisis like the one we’re facing now, we often turn to our government and elected officials for leadership, clarity, and decisive action. Devastatingly, President Trump and his administration have given us none of these things. Trump has completely bungled …

NRA attacking Hank during a crisis

  Does the NRA have no shame, John? In the midst of the COVID-19 health crisis, instead of helping our nation come together, they are sending their special lobbying arm to attack Rep. Hank Johnson. CHIP IN AGAINST THE NRA >> Why are they attacking Hank? May…

**alert** election date changed

  Hi John, I wanted to personally make sure you saw: Georgia’s primary election has been moved to June 9th. That includes the democratic presidential primary, our congressional primary, and many other races. With the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing, it’s crucially important that w…

Confederate Heritage Month (!?)

  With the COVID-19 pandemic hitting hard all across the South, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has decided to spend his valuable time declaring April as “Confederate Heritage Month.” This is just absolutely ridiculous. While there is never an appropriate time to honor the rac…

Kemp’s reckless executive order

  John -- What is Governor Brian Kemp thinking? He ordered that beaches across Georgia be reopened, over the objections of local towns who did the responsible thing by closing them to promote social distancing. Just look at Tybee Island, one of Georgia’s most popular vacatio…

Our elected officials need to be held accountable [action needed]

John, As the coronavirus crisis began to unfold here in America, how did Georgia Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue respond? By allegedly working to profit off the crisis.  That’s right, evidence suggests that our two senators engaged in insider trading by selling stoc…

Kemp’s COVID-19 ignorance is alarming

John, I was shocked to hear Governor Brian Kemp say that he only just now learned that COVID-19 can spread from people without symptoms. Experts have been saying that for months. "What we've been telling people from directives from the CDC for weeks now that if you start f…

How are you, John?

John -- Many of you have been in self-isolation for quite some time now. We’ve been practicing social distancing because that’s what the doctors and experts tell us will mitigate this crisis and save lives. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. I know it’s hard to be away from fam…

“Point of no return”

Kelly Loeffler needs to be held accountable

Let’s keep the faith

Just last week, President Trump prophesied on national TV that it would not be long before the then 15 U.S. COVID-19 cases would be reduced to “zero,” and then took credit for doing a good job in making it happen. Sadly, President Trump’s fantasy did not come true. Today we h…

Hank’s not afraid to say it
