Emergency Demonstration John Faso's Office in Kinderhook 9am Thursday Morning May 4

WHAT WILL JOHN DO?

Republican's say they have the votes for TrumpCare and are bringing it for a vote on the House floor tomorrow (Thursday). You've been calling. You've been writing. Tomorrow, show up and tell John Faso and his staff in person that you will not stand for this catastrophic bill! Come to Faso's Kinderhook office at 9am. Greet his staff as they come into work. Make sure they know exactly how you feel about it! 

Yes, it's early. Yes, it's at the beginning of the work day. Yes, everyone is tired and burned out. But we have to fight through. Join with your fellow resistors tomorrow. Gain strength and energy from their company. Vent! Do whatever you have to do, just show up! Come for just a short bit of time on your way to work. Bring one other person! Double your presence!!!

Conventional wisdom said this bill was dead two weeks ago. Blocking this bill in the Senate is not guaranteed! Make sure John Faso thinks twice before voting for this bill. Make sure he knows he's coming home to a bunch of constituents who know that he cares more about his corporate masters and his political party, than he cares about our lives.

First Mass Voter Registration in the Nation a Huge Success

More than 100 volunteers gathered at the Hudson Area Library Community Room to door to door canvass in Hudson.

The very first Mass Voter Registration in the nation in a swing district was a resounding success. Organized district-wide in NY-19 by Resistance Voter Registration, and in Hudson locally by members of Hudson Resistance, Indivisible Chatham NY and Indivisible CD 19, the event had 10 sites across the Congressional District with over 350 volunteers doing door to door canvassing to register new voters.

The district is represented by Congressman John Faso who has refused to hold Town Hall meetings in the district opting for completely controlled "Tele-Town Hall" conference calls instead where staffers are able to screen the questions put to the Congress Member. Canvassers also collected hundreds of signatures on a petition calling on the Congressman to hold Town Hall meetings in the district.

Faso has held small group meetings with groups of 8-12 people. But those meetings are off the record and he refuses to allow people to record the meetings. Town Hall meetings are on the record events where the Congressman could lay out his positions publicly. 

The Hudson site broke the record for the most participants in the entire district, with over 100 volunteers showing up on a very cold March morning. The cold weather didn't dampen the mood of the canvassers. Some teams went out, covered their entire territory and went back out two or even three times.

Resistance Voter Registration is not affiliated with a particular political party but is branded as anti-Trump. It is a collaborative effort which includes labor unions, citizen action groups, Resistance and Indivisible chapters, the Working Families Party and Democratic Committees from throughout the NY-19 Congressional District.

The event received some pre-event press and post-event coverage in the Register-Star.

There are also some photo albums from the district-wide event on Facebook here and here and check out all the posts on Twitter and Instagram with the #NY19Votes hashtag.
