| The Trump Crime cartel treats the war in the middle east like a video game. |
A war started unilaterally on the basis of a "feeling" or whim by a totalitarian ruler. NYtimes explores this WAR of Whim at length. Real people die and suffer needlessly in wars like this. Such reckless war could lead to a world war. See the video discussed by NY times writers here.
Experts discuss the Iran war as resulting from a whim, here too.

| Slate article about the waste fraud and abuse that IS Pete Drunk Hegseth |
(ACA subsidies were cancelled by MAGA GOP because "there was no money" yet our health care insurance cost only 30 billion dollars)
That enormous amount of money was NOT spent on feeding hungry children in America, on the homeless, on education, veterans, children, babies, families, clean air, clean water, fighting global warming or all the underfunded needs that ACTUALLY help most American.

ACTION ITEM: REMOVE fraudulent and ill-gotten signatures from repeal petition, especially in State Senate District 15, Sandy and Midvale SLC

| OUT-OF-STATE PAID Signature gatherers at USU. These two were filmed intimidating BURRN volunteers, threatened one of us with suffocation (a police report was submitted but seemingly nothing was done), swore like pirates, barely spoke a true word about the petition-at least in earshot, and on another day their compatriots called the campus police on volunteers. Their alleged crimes? Standing near petitioners and informing the public about the ACTUAL purpose and history of the fair election law. |
The effort to try to repeal the fair districting process, know as Prop. 4, has seen new twists and turns. Late last week it looked like the state senate districts in southern Davis County would be very close, and BURRN and other groups focused their efforts there; to get on the ballot, the petitions have to reach a certain number in 26 of 29 state senate districts, AND a bit over 140,000 signatures statewide (which was met, as expected). Early this week about 2000 signatures were 'found' and added enough signatures that they reached the 26 of 29 districts.
Last night (Friday, March 6) at about 11 pm, HB 242 was introduced to change the process by which signatures could be removed, and how various signatures can be counted. Among the law's language is that prepaid postage on first class envelopes is considered a 'bribe', and it will no long be legal to provide a stamp or a prepaid mailer to people who want to take their name off the ballot. The bill passed at 11:19 pm with over 2/3 majorities in both houses, and Governor Cox signed the bill at 2:14 am. This means the law will be in effect immediately.
