Advocate For The Hopium Agenda/Pass Resolutions Of Condemnation In Your Community/Four Speeches To Study
Two more ways you can go to work in the coming days - call your leaders and advocate for elements of our working, ever evolving Hopium Agenda; and bring resolutions that condemn our Mad King and lets facts be spoken to a candid world to your state or local government.
Here’s our working Post-Iran Hopium Agenda:
Work To End This New Gulf War, And Trump’s Global Imperial Ambitions
Make Clear We Support Ukraine and Europe, Not Russia
Roll Back The New, Illegal Tariffs
Rescind The Trump Tax Cuts, Claw Back The Extra ICE Funding
Make The US A Clean Energy Superpower, Fight For True Energy Independence, And Lower Energy Prices For The American People
Keep Fighting To Rein In ICE, End Mass Deportation
This week our calls should clearly focus on reining in both the illegal war in the Middle East and ICE here at home.
I also strongly advise studying four recent speeches. All have new, pioneering narratives and language that feels like where we need to be heading this year:
Governor Abigail Spanberger State Of The Union Response
Senator Alex Padilla State Of The Union Response
Leader Hakeem Jeffries War Powers Speech (3/4/26)
James Talarico General Election Kickoff (3/4/26)
Keep working hard all. We are entering a dangerous place, and we need to be very, very loud now - Simon
