    “As deaths mount from gun-related violence in the U.S., so do the sales of firearms, according to the latest figures from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Data from 2020 shows how gun production has increased nearly threefold over the past 20 years, rising from the manufacture of 3.9 million guns in 2000 to more than 11.3 million in 2020.” 1

  • Supreme Court – Independent State Legislature Thery

    “The Republican Party is pushing the nonsensical “independent state legislature theory,” which could give state legislatures complete control of congressional redistricting and federal elections. Under their theory, it is possible that neither governors, nor courts, nor independent commissions get any say in the process. And now, conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court have agreed to hear a North Carolina case that tests this new legal “theory.”

    One can only imagine what the redistricting process will look like if we lose this fight. Shameless Republican state legislatures will create maps that exclude marginalized communities and pack them into districts to dilute their vote. They will make the process closed off and unavailable to the wider public, just like the chaotic and undemocratic process in Texas.

    At All On The Line, they have worked tirelessly for the past years to encourage states to make their redistricting process fair and transparent. To support the use of independent commissions in the redistricting process. To include communities that have been excluded in the past and need a voice.” 2

  • Ginni Thomas – A Criminal Married to a Supreme Court Justice?

    “Thomas sent the messages using FreeRoots, an online platform intended to make it easy to send pre-written emails to multiple elected officials. New documents show that Thomas indeed used the platform to reach many lawmakers simultaneously. On Nov. 9, she sent identical emails to 20 members of the Arizona House and seven Arizona state senators. That represents more than half of the Republican members of the state legislature at the time.” 3

    Military / Veterans: See the Federal Voting Assistance Program – Using the FPCA ensures that your state will send your ballot to you at least 45 days before the election — a protection not guaranteed when using other forms. It’s a good idea to send in a new FPCA every January and each time you move.
