I've read that you should, of course, take note of a big political news story, but you should also note which other story or stories it knocks out of the news. I imagine this applies especially when timing of an event, such as a sit in, is optional.
So, this afternoon, Wednesday, June 22, 2016, I learned this happened.

Really.
Jill Stein/the Green Party hopes to get onto the ballot in 47 states. Counterpunch and Politico have very good articles about this. Here is Politico: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/06/2016-campaign-election-hi...

No recs, one or more flags.
If someone wants to come over and help, that would be lovely. If not, I hope you have a good day.
So I'm apparently a local leader. At least, that's what the latest letter accompanying a "survey" from the DNC says I am. Certainly is news to me. But it did get me wondering exactly how many people here have ever gotten one of these before. So, for those who don't receive this little piece of propaganda, I thought it'd be nice to share it here.
The main part of the accompanying letter reads as follows:
Another cross post from your friends at KfS. ~ Thumb
Dear fellow citizen:
Thank you for contacting us.
What is This Case About?
This is a fraud lawsuit.
Let's assume that Hillary Clinton wins the presidency, since that is the most likely outcome.
Which country will she prove how tough she is by killing a whole bunch of helpless, brown-skinned civilians?
This is, of course, in addition to on-going wars that President Obama will leave in his wake, such as Afghanistan and Iraq.
This is also in addition to the on-going Global Assassination Program, known as the Drone War.
Word out of Washington is that a Pentagon policy change allowing transgender members of the military to serve openly is in its final stages of approval.
Originally, we were expecting the change to be announced in March.
Gender dysphoria disqualifies service members under current policy. However, Defense Secretary Ash Carter enacted a de facto moratorium on such dismissals last year as the Defense Department crafted its new guidelines. Officials have been wrestling with several issues regarding transgender troops including recruiting, medical treatment, housing, uniforms and physical fitness standards.
I think that is a terrific read. I am not through Gov.Brown's article in the New York Book Review of Books, but I m grateful to have received that email with that link to Perry's book.
