This is where I stand:
I believe that our 45th President, his Cabinet and administration, and many, if not the majority, of Republicans now in Congress are a real and active threat to me and to people I love and care about.
Some people are saying that we should give Donald Trump a chance, that we should "work together" because he won the election and he is "everyone's president." This is my response:
•I will not forget how badly he and so many others treated former President Barack Obama for 8 years.
•I will not "work together" to privatize Medicare, cut Social Security and Medicaid.
•I will not "work together" to build a wall.
•I will not "work together" to persecute Muslims.
•I will not "work together" to shut out refugees from other countries.
•I will not "work together" to lower taxes on the 1% and increase taxes on the middle class and poor.
•I will not "work together" to help Trump use the Presidency to line his pockets and those of his family and cronies.
•I will not "work together" to weaken and demolish environmental protection.
•I will not "work together" to sell American lands, especially National Parks, to companies which then profiteer from and despoil those lands.
•I will not "work together" to enable the killing of whole species of animals just because they are predators, or inconvenient for a few, or because some people want to get their thrills killing them.
•I will not "work together" to remove or reduce civil rights.
•I will not "work together" to alienate countries that have been our allies for as long as I have been alive.
•I will not "work together" to slash funding for public education.
•I will not "work together" to take basic assistance from people who are at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.
•I will not "work together" to get rid of common sense regulations on guns.
•I will not "work together" to eliminate the minimum wage.
•I will not "work together" to support so-called "Right To Work" laws, or undermine, weaken or destroy unions, collective bargaining and rights for workers.
•I will not "work together" to suppress scientific research on climate change, fracking, or any other issue where a VAST majority of scientists agree that Conservatives, represented by Donald Trump and his supporters, are factually wrong.
•I will not "work together" to criminalize abortion or restrict health care for women.
•I will not "work together" to increase the number of nations that have nuclear weapons.
•I will not "work together" to put more "big money" into politics.
•I will not "work together" to violate the Geneva Convention.
•I will not "work together" to give the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazi Party, white supremacists or any other hate group a "seat at the table," or to normalize their hatred.
•I will not "work together" to deny healthcare to people who need it.
•I will not "work together" to deny medical coverage to people on the basis of a "pre-existing condition."
•I will not "work together" to increase voter suppression.
•I will not "work together" to normalize tyranny.
I will not “work together” to eliminate or reduce ethical oversight at any level of government.
•I will not "work together" with people and business interests that work to put a pipeline to transport oil on Sacred Ground for Native Americans.
•I will not "work together" with any proposed legislation that threatens marriage equality.
•I will not "work together" with people or movements that threaten the rights of LGBTQ individuals in any way.
* I will not "Work together" to further discrimination of disabled persons
• I will not "work together" to eliminate the free press.
This is my line. "Winning" and "making America great again" mean nothing when people are sacrificed for profit, and our most sacred Democratic Institutions are devalued, disrespected, attacked and undercut by the holder of the highest office in our land. not long garment items used in homecoming situation
