Have you wondered how the Electoral College can snatch victory out of the jaws of a big loss?? We certainly have. Some estimates say Trump could lose the popular vote by as many as 5 million votes and STILL win the Electoral College. Is this true? Mark your calendars for our March 23 program on the electoral college and learn the answer! Let’s get educated on this subject and find out if we’re happy with this and if not, what can we do to change it!

We have to be fair and let you know that this week, Sununu SAD Facts is being replaced with Sununu Good Facts! Today’s paper reported that Sununu has announced that New Hampshire will jump in with other states in fighting the effort of 18 states to dismantle the ACA through a challenge to its constitutionality.  Of course he’s not all bad BUT with our future Democratic governor in office, we will never have to be surprised and shocked when a good decision comes out of Concord! Thank you Gov. Sununu for being on the right side of the ACA.

There is a lot going on so check out the opportunities below to find something that might align with your interests. And think about writing postcards! They have streamlined the process to get your postcard to where it is needed most.

Monday, February 24, Criminal Justice Reform with Dan Feltes and Jeanne Hruska.

The second evening of a two-part series on criminal justice reform did not disappoint.

Jeanne Hruska’s (political director of ACLU-NH) opening remarks set the stage for what was an informative,  data-based presentation of the criminal justice system:

• Mass incarceration is a uniquely American disease;
• The United States has 5% of the world’s population, we have 25% of the world’s incarcerate population;
• If mass incarceration was so effective, if it was such a wonderful social policy, don’t you think other countries would do it?;
• Mass incarceration does’t solve crime, it doesn’t solve mental illness, it doesn’t solve homelessness;
• Mass incarceration is not a criminal issue, it is a political one.

If you can, please take the time to listen to the program, you won’t regret doing it.

Jeanne Hruska, from the ACLU, has a firm understanding of where New Hampshire stands on this issue and shares what she knows in an articulate and compelling way. Surprisingly, there are plenty of bright spots and areas of clear progress and many reasons to educate ourselves on this critical subject.

We must be doing something right—being rational?—because according to the Secretary of State we are now officially living in a blue state! There are now more democrats registered than republicans! This is a huge accomplishment—congratulations and welcome to the Democratic Party!

Keep writing those postcards and watch those videos!
