Employ every procedural tactic to bring these bills to the floor, and utilize media events to shift public opinion in our favor. During committee hearings, Democratic spokespersons must vocally express frustration with GOP actions that undermine our freedoms,

3. Flood Congress with Legislation: Introduce a barrage of bills addressing constituents’ concerns, even if they face repeated rejection. Force GOP members to publicly record their stances, creating political pressure and diverting attention from their agenda.

•Visible Protest Participation:
Our leaders must physically stand with constituents at protests and demonstrations, signaling solidarity and attracting media coverage. Mere verbal support is insufficient; we require tangible presence and action.

•“Good Trouble” Initiatives: Emulate bold actions such as Cory Booker’s 25-hour filibuster. Launch speaking tours (e.g., a “Take Back Democracy Tour of Washington” featuring Cantwell, Murray, and Ferguson) to spotlight critical issues.

Anger,frustration & fear builds. Without leadership, violence will break out as people feel helpless against the dying democracy and loss of rights & services. There are too many guns around for people not to die.

Without leadership - direction -unified resistance, we will simply be chasing the next issue of the day. Used to be Musk & DOGE (still happening but would not know it), now tariffs (got conservatives attention too). As momentum of resistance builds

We pointed out that the anger, fear and frustration rising from citizens needs to include Dems in Congress outrageously modeling citizens anger, frustration and fears against the actions by the Trump Administration, GOP in both houses of Congress and by Elon Musk.
