Some say they haven't signed up for Democracy Docket because they don't want spam or endless solicitations. Democracy Docket doesn't sell its list. It doesn't solicit products or services. It sends you the news/information you sign-up for. Try it and see! demdock.com/4w6emld

President Trump has expressed sympathy for seven men ("men" used loosely) convicted of gang rape, yet your Republican state leaders remain completely silent. Vote them out in record numbers! It's time to fumigate.
