start calling the legislators right now and tell them you demand free public college.
There is still time for them to make laws before the election.
You don't have to wait for the uncertainty of a presidential election.
Start calling and writing today.
No time to waste.

You don't need to talk to be about climate
I'm just being realistic that it will take 20 years to get many progressive values into the system.
I didn't suggest that no change will occur in less than 20 years.
But if people sit out because their choice candidate didn't win, then they are being unrealistic
it takes exactly one congressional session for horrible things to occur in our government.

(10,493 posts)There is no question where Hillary stands on these issues. Whether in your backyard, in Honduras, the Middle East or wherever. Unless she comes out and unequivocally says she will put an end to it, puts her John Hancock on it - and a committee on it, and disbands the Clinton Foundation, I can't believe that she is committed to protecting the environment. Can you? I mean that with all sincerity.
This has nothing to do with others, but our democratic candidate. I have options on my ballot. But how will Hillary convince me? And we haven't even discussed war, Wall Street, and issues key to the US. Because honestly, without changes in environmental planning - nothing matters.

But voting green didn't help even a tiny bit.
Yes, I believe that Clinton will make forward progress on global warming and pollution.
But I think that the vast majority of American's do not support major changes in either of those areas.
But if the Congress passes laws, I believe that Clinton will faithfully execute the laws.
I'm interest in a international trade war to protect the planet.
Other nations impose tariffs on countries that pollute in order to have an accurate cost of trade with that country.
