DeSantis has called for a special session of the Legislature to convene on January 27. The special session will include a proposal that would all but abolish citizen-led amendments.Under DeSantis’ plan,Floridians would have to go in person to their local Supervisor of Elections office to sign a petition or try to navigate an onerous,multi-step,mail-in process.
Floridians, please contact your legislators and let them know you do not want your voice silenced in the “freedom” state. Just say NO to any further restrictions on citizen-led amendments and the massive misuse of our tax dollars to fund attack campaigns.
Good luck with that! My brother and sister-in-law just moved to Florida. They voted for the orange blight. But it's good news for Colorado, two less idiots voting here.
Kathy - Thank you for providing this complete information about DeSantis' new plan to keep us (citizen of Florida) from ever passing a citizen led constitutional amendment. I hope you don't mind me passing this on to friends and on Facebook for those who don't read HCR.
"The race is expected to attract even more spending and national attention than Wisconsin's 2023 race for Supreme Court, which flipped the court to a liberal majority for the first time in 15 years with the election of Justice Janet Protasiewicz. It became the most expensive judicial race in the country's history."
Elon Musk weighs in on Wisconsin's high-profile April state Supreme Court election:
I've been listening to Hopium with Simon Rosenberg and he has been talking about how we need new and far-reaching media strategies for the 21st century. Do postcards and door knocking still give us the bang for our buck that the podcasts and social media get on the other side? We need airtime that hits so many more voters over and over again with a unified message and how it helps them. Or do we do EVERYTHING in our power to get voters out and to vote for the right person, in spite of all the monied interests like Musk?
Thanks Lin. This is really helpful. We also need to keep an eye on States like Iowa where Joni Ernst is running for reelection in 2026. Yes, the same Joni Ernst who put party over country and voted for the unqualified alcoholic sexual predator who mismanaged two non-profits tv personality Pete Hegseth for Sectary of Defense. Yep, the same Republican who released the Jan 6 insurrectionist. If she wants to support the Party over Country well then she is part of the insurrectionist movement. I’m ordering my cards today.

Chris, Please rethink your beliefs about Republicans. Not all Republicans are MAGA. Many leaders of industry and older Republicans are history buffs. They may be caught up in the “Ostrich Theory” where if you hide your head in the sand, all danger goes away. Of course, many Democrats are also converts to that plan! On election day, our golden retriever spent hours with his head in the snow. ⛄️
It should be Kari… but what do we do now? For a while I thought the Senate might help us, but now they are confirming his cabinet picks. Will the courts be next to abandon us??
That was quite interesting. He 's correct that we really need to think outside the box and come up with new and inspired solutions to our country's problems. Thanks for posting this link, Kari.
The time is now… the reply to this fast tracked implementation of Project 2025 should be, “NUTS!”
Florida is the test case for Project 2025 !

"to prevent voting fraud" That's gotta be the laugh of the century!
Ordered! Postcards to Swing States rocks 💙 Musk needs to stop breathing, as my step-mother used to say about certain unsavory characters.

I ordered my postcards. The usk link is frightening. If gop wins in Wisconsin we are DOOMED!
Thank you Lin for the link to Postcards to Voters! They make it so easy to do my small part.

Thank you.
Thanks lin*. I'll probably order a batch as I did for Michigan last year.
and be swift about it...only so many dominos' are expendable before a big fall...
Republicans wouldn't know the origin of the word nuts. They're not into history.
I dialogued with a maga in my doctors waiting room. They are beat up middle, lower class people who parrot their one media talking heads. So sad.
