Digging Into Donald Trump’s Climate Record”
Wednesday, October 16, at 12pm US Eastern Time
The 2024 US elections are undoubtedly about climate change, and audiences need to understand both candidates’ positions and records on climate. While in office, former president Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 Paris Agreement, threw out more than 100 environmental regulations, and had “climate change” removed from the EPA's site. On the 2024 campaign trail, the former president reportedly told Big Oil executives that he would trash President Joe Biden's climate policy accomplishments in exchange for $1 billion in campaign donations.
Join a panel of journalists October 16, at 12pm US Eastern Time, for a one-hour discussion on Trump's climate agenda during his first term, and what his campaign promises and political affiliations mean for a potential second term.

PANELISTS

Jeez, my mailbox is exploding! Everyone is freaking out over the latest polls, the pessimistic pundits, the sudden (?) rise of Trump, the warnings of doom and gloom! Mike! Mike! Please tell us he’s gonna lose! She’s gonna win! Flowers will bloom in December! Unicorns will ride on the backs of lions! The McRib will return!

Whoa. Everybody please calm down. We’ve all been here before. Exactly 3 weeks til Election Day — so that means it’s official, folks! We’ve entered the fear-mongering, pendulum-swing stage of the election season. We are no longer basking in the glow of Biden’s withdrawal and the adrenaline shot from Kamala’s injection into this race. That’s not surprising. It’s expected. Now, this is back to being a normal election season — the news outlets and pundits are salivating for their polls, and our side is cowering in fear and despair.

My friends, STOP OBSESSING OVER THE POLLS. 

Wait, what’s that I hear? “They’re tied at 48-48!!!” 

I said, STOP. OBSESSING. OVER. THE POLLS.

With Election Day just three weeks off and voting already underway in some states, the race for president is down to the wire. Progressives could make the difference.

 While no one in their left mind plans to vote for the fascistic and unhinged Donald Trump, some say they won’t vote for Kamala Harris because of her loyalty to President Biden’s support for the Israeli war on Gaza. That might enable Trump to win with enough electoral votes from swing states -- Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

 Those seven states are where progressives may well hold the future in their voting hands.

Hello, fellow Ohioans, 

I just finished reading, and rereading, and then reading again, what I thought would be a straight forward explanation of Amendment 1. The amendment appears on the November 5, Ohio presidential ballot.. 

But, after actually reading the amendment, I was confused, disappointed, and just plain mad, because I knew I was going to vote, “YES”, but after reading the amendment, I couldn’t decide what a “YES” vote actually means!

The language is purposely deceptive and misleading, as written by our Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, but if voters pass this amendment, gerrymandering by politicians will no longer be legal in our state.

If you find this kind of dishonesty hard to believe, or are just as confused as I was, check the Ohio sample ballot, by following the below link.  Once on the page, you’ll need to click on your county. Then scroll through the candidates and on the third page, you’ll find the sample Issue1 ballot. Just read the first paragraph and you’ll understand my concern.
