Did you get my previous reply??? This past weekend, on various substack posts etc, I heard from over 380 people who were down for a strike. Union Leaders may be willing to call a strike when these tariffs go into effect, and consumer spending will drop. I am also hearing from my friends in the hospitality industry that say across the board, bookings are way down from last summer. Fear is spreading about traveling to the US, and people are afraid to leave the country and won't be allowed back in. We need to tap into all of this.
The Longer Trump rules as a King, the further we get from Freedom and Democracy..
I certainly wouldn’t want to travel here if I resided in another country. I’m going to Italy in September and don’t really want to come back but I have to.
"Fear is spreading about traveling to the US, and people are afraid to leave the country and won't be allowed back in."
A lot of the FL travel in the summer months comes from Latin America . Or at least it did in the past. For most of Europe, August is the big travel month, so we will soon see the impact of Trump policies.
And then there are concerns about a recession which may result in people sticking closer to home or shortening the length of their vacations. I am on alot of mailing lists for different travel companies and they seem to be running a lot of special deals lately.
Not just those two, the entire cabinet, then they all should be on trial for crimes against humanity. Also, Supreme Court justices who sided with Trump, giving him permission to do this should be impeached
How can we get this billboard in every state? Although the picture of Trump is pretty vomit-inducing.
I have already contacted my 2 senators and congressman (Democrats) that they must hold town hall meetings telling everyone what is in the BUB - big ugly bill. They need to hit hard now about making sure we have elections that are not tampered with. My late husband was a veteran and he loved his country. He would be devastated to see what is happening now. That is why every rally I go to, every postcard I write, every email I send, he is holding my shoulders saying, you go babe.
I agree but Dems have to keep up the outreach from now until the elections and do it especially in rural areasand where there are concentrations of immigrants, especially Hispanics who seem to vote for him.
Remember, Hispanics are not a monolithic voting block. For example, Cubans have always been republican-leaning and "communist" is a trigger word for many of them, so accusing Democrats of being Communists is very effective propaganda.
But I honestly don't understand why anyone from Mexico would vote for him after his offensive attacks on Mexicans. The same for Muslims after the Muslim ban.
Scott, I listened to Gov. Andy Beshear speaking out against the BBB and its negative impact on the citizens of his state. I was impressed and pleased with his expressing the possibility he might run for POTUS in 2028. Now is the time for Democratic candidates to begin their campaign.
Too bad we can't put more of these billboards up around the country - and local ones for our despicable congressman too who is totally MAGA and needs to be called out again and again.
Do we know who paid for the billboard? I'm curious to know if it was a local Phoenix group, or is it from an outside group and Phoenix is just the audience? Either way, I love it. It would be great if it showed up everywhere.
Same -- was shocked to receive the email, that was so clearly queued up and ready to go. Posted it to Facebook and many other angry people. (Got rid of Twitter as soon as musk bought it - never looked back.) What a disgrace the back of lies from the government. But par for the course to lie and undermine (once sound) government agencies.
I think the billboard tells the story pretty well for us. If we kept adding his crimes and schemes to it, this thing could be a mile long easy.
That billboard needs to go up in every state in multiple places!
Yes. Folks need facts and repetition. The bulletin board gives both in an artistic way!
In rural areas, billboards are one of the most effective means of communication!
Rural Ground Game has been working in VA on a "Wake Up Virgina!" campaign that included this billboard about DOGE cuts.
Love the Billboard. We need to get louder every day. I am still hoping for unions to come together and call for a national strike day!
If there were a national strike, what do you think the key demand would be? Trump and Vance's removal from office?
Yes the entire cabinet removed from office and Mike Johnson removed for crimes against humanity!
outlaw the republican party as a domestic terrorist organization
Yes! And outlaw The Heritage Foundation as a domestic terrorist organization for crimes against humanity and treason.
We have to push for a National Strike. If we strike, we put them out in the open and start the beginning of the end

Italy is my second home. I hope to return this fall and never coming back.

Sounds like a good start and by proxy his appointees too.

That would be my hope!
Lets keep this moving!
If you know any Union Members we need their help. America’a workers can make this happen.

I am so sorry for your loss Sylvia. But I am glad he helps inspire you in all the work you're doing

Especially in Florida. For some reason immigrants have voted for Trump and now are flabbergasted that many of them are being deported.

I think he would be a great candidate Brenda.
Absolutely, Brenda!
The better business bureau wouldn’t like you using their initials 😄
That’s the least of my concerns.
I was just making a joke, there’s so much stress right now

We might as well copy and paste different faces and put it in their districts Pat!
That would be great......
Love it! Would like to see it replicated in every red state
Could you imagine that Sharon!?
Indeed! And I have to believe that I, and other like-minded folks, would pitch in to make it happen. A sponsor or two wouldn't hurt either.
Every State, red/blue/purple and green!
And purple and blue…cults get such a strong hold over people we need to remind everyone
Send this to Trump 🤣
Well, I know his staff surely saw it by now lol
Yes. Maybe it would cause some "good trouble" for him. If you know what I mean.
He would probably turn it into merch….🙄
Obviously, you didn't understand the good is for us, the trouble is for him.

That billboard proves a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s perfect!
Sure does Joanne!
Oh TACO would be awful upset about this. And frankly I’m all for it. 😂😅🤣🌮🐔🤣
LOL
I agree with you, Scott, the billboard is very disturbing and sad.
We need to continue to speak out against the lies.
I received that propaganda email, too, and went to Facebook and X and wrote against it. Sickening!

We sure do! I couldn't believe it, I don't think I ever got a Social Security email ever before.
Great billboard! I want to see them all over the country!
So much buyers remorse. Everyone was warned. We told ya so!
Seems like the country that needed to be “fixed” was not so bad after all.
Seems no one thought/believed the orange turd would fix it for the wealthy and destroy it for the rest of us.
Seems we all, you and I, had “Trump derangement syndrome”, seeing Hell where others saw their savior.
Old saying: "Sin in haste, repent at your leisure"
Gosh, I feel left out. I didn't get a letter. Could I possibly finally have succeeded in getting off their mailing lists??
If there's a fund somewhere for more of those billboards, I would donate.
Whatta billboard! WOW!
And It's amazing how blatantly they lie - they do it so well, it's like they believe what they're saying too. 🤦♀️
They just keep lying and then act astonished and so offended when called out. BUT WHAT ABOUT OBAMA
Every highway in the country should have this billboard.
Agreed Mary!
