Ballon Juicer Paul Wartenberg is from Florida-17 and wants us to know about the great Democratic candidate there.
As your representative, April will defend our community, our seniors, our children, our veterans and our environment by pursuing policies that make sense and work. April will work with other elected officials to ensure everyone benefits from policies that will impact them positively.
April has the experience necessary to help lead our country into and through the next decade. She spent several years educating young voters enrolled in two year programs on the importance of voting. Her extensive work and studies in communications at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, along with additional courses she completed in Environmental Science, Economics and Political Science at Yale University make her a perfect advocate for Florida residents and our extremely sensitive ecosystem. Freeman is a 2013 Graduate of the Women’s Campaign School at Yale, through Yale Law School…”
You know what to do.

I hate to derail this thread right away, but the writer of the anonymous op-ed just came forward.

@Yutsano: I do hope that Doug will put it up again, because you are correct that is an important story. She is very credible.

@Yutsano: i think ya got the wrong anonymous there

@John Revolta: Anonymous LETTER. I may need a blood sugar increase. Off to find lunch of some sort.

@Yutsano: With all that news breaking, I was just checking my calendar to make sure it wasn’t Friday.
I defy any woman to read her story and not believe it.

@WaterGirl: The republicans are already circling their wagons. We already have one sex abuser determined to take away the rights of females, we don’t need another. I’m furious.

@Yutsano: Just added to the top of that story:
Emphasis added. That’s bringing victim-blaming to whole new heights.

Kavanaugh has already lied under oath, how much more information do they need.

@dmsilev: Also after the Republicans have tried to make sure that nothing he ever did before came up before the committee. I think the Democrats should use this and say, “Well,m if we need to bring everything up before the committee, how about those 300,000 other pages of documents?”

My comment seems strange now that I’ve read the thread. I mean “I’ll Remember April.”

I believe her and I believe DiFi did the right thing. If it was a Democratic judge up for confirmation and a Republican senator had received that letter, it would be on the Drudge Report 60 seconds later. DiFi believed the woman, and respected her desire for anonymity, so all the people screaming that she should have told the other Dems immediately can fuck right off. This nomination reeks, and I have set a goal to write a postcard today for every senator on the Judiciary panel, plus the Republican leaners, today so I can mail them and be sure they receive them before Thursday. The fact that Grassley delayed the vote a week shows that they are afraid.

@zhena gogolia: Yeah, I thought you were talking about “The Ballad of Rapey Joe”!
Thoughtful David
They’re going to push this through, now more than ever. They’ve realized they’re likely to lose the Senate, which means no SC picks at all. So they have to get this one through. It will of course make it even more likely they’ll lose the Senate–women will be pissed–but they’ll have their guy in. They have to have him confirmed.
WaterGirl
@Thoughtful David: If they push this through… If they thought women were pissed already, they haven’t seen anything yet. This is not 1990, motherfuckers. Tick tock.

Thank you for the link to Freeman’s campaign, Doug!
