Congress Must Pass the ‘For the People Act’

From JFK-MLK-RFK to the Brooks Brothers Mob to MAGA ... America's Fascist Coup Escalates
Harvey Wasserman 06 october 21
America’s long-term fascist coup may have begun on November 22, 1963 with the murder of John Kennedy.
But George W. Bush’s “Brooks Brothers Mob” took it to another level exactly 37 years later.
And the MAGA Monster’s attack on January 6, 2021, is far from over.

VICTORY IN ARIZONA, BATTLES FOR NATIONAL ELECTION PROTECTION & ACTION
Amidst the spectacular collapse of the absurd cyber-Ninja Arizona recount scam, we hear from JOHN BRAKEY, STEVE ROSENFELD  and RAY LUTZ on how it happened.
It’s now clear that without their on-the-ground scrutiny and EP activism, Team Trump could easily have conjured up a “revised outcome” very different from what AZ’s voters actually wanted.
Instead Brakey’s insider contacts with honest brokers like Ken Bennet, Rosenfeld’s reporting and Lutz’s techno-audits made it impossible for the thugs and thieves to flip the outcome.
What comes next will be critical as Team Trump attempts to spread fake audit/recounts to whatever states they want to flip.  A handbook/lessons-learned document now becomes crucial from these three great EP pioneers.
Meanwhile, JOEL SEGAL fills us in on the critical growth of the new Progressive Action Coalition and SmartALEC which will be coordinating more on-the-ground campaigns and authoring more legislation as we move forward.

The video aims to warn voters that now is the last chance for most voters to check their registrations—and re-register if they are one of The Purged.
Journalist Palast, whose investigations have appeared in Rolling Stone and the Guardian, said, "Thanks to Yvette, we are sending up this flare:  don’t wait until Election Day to find out you’re missing from the voter rolls.
Young voters and Americans of color have been the main targets of the removal of 16.7 million voters.
