Hung Cao at the Republican National Convention Trash Talks Senator Tim Kaine

Posted on July 23, 2024

A photo of a smiling Senator Tim Kaine wearing a blue shirt.Cao said at last weeks Republican convention:

“I’m running against Hillary’s running mate, Senator Tim Kaine. He is a weak man in a dangerous world…..Kaine is a career politician with millions to show for it. I’ve been a warrior with scars to prove it.” (per Youtube video)

The Kaine Campaign notes that Cao:

1. Is a democracy denier who has not only peddled conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, he’s pledged to release and even compensate convicted January 6th insurrectionists.

2. Opposes women’s reproductive rights, supporting legislation that would drastically and cruelly limit abortion access all across the country (and even compares abortion to the Holocaust).

3. Refuses to accept the reality of the climate crisis, saying he doesn’t think climate change is real and even called the entire concept a “boogeyman.

Trump VP Pick, JD Vance, is a Threat to the US

Posted on July 23, 2024

From Axios: Trump with pinkk kitty cat ear bandage says "Democrats need to stop their hateful rhetoric". JD Vance is standing next to him yelling "Trump is America’s Hitler!"Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) called [Sen. JD Vance’s] selection as Trump’s VP on the ticket “alarming” and a “direct threat to American values and rights,” citing Vance’s anti-abortion positions.

[Vance] won election to the Senate in 2022, and has distinguished himself as a staunch opponent of funding for Ukraine and a rare GOP advocate for organized labor, as well as one of Trump’s most loyal allies.

The Biden campaign was quick to go after Vance for saying the 2020 election “had a lot of problems” and that, had he been vice president in 2021, he would have told states to send multiple elector slates.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby Potluck Picnic and Postcard Writing (7/14)

Posted on July 8, 2024

On Sunday, July 14, 1:00-3:00pm, at Pen Park Shelter #2, the Citizens’ Climate Lobby Charlottesville Chapter is putting on a potluck picnic and postcard writing event as part of the Environmental Voter Project (EVP).

All members, friends and family are welcome.

While sharing a meal and socializing, we’ll also write postcards to mobilize climate-friendly voters in Florida’s upcoming primary. We will have postcards and a brief script to copy. The EVP uses data analytics to identify environmental voters, then sends them tested and proven messages. They have a good track record of increasing environmental voter turnout.

Here are the important details (some of which are optional); the most important thing is that YOU be there!

FIND the picnic shelter by locating the tennis courts on Pen Park Road. Turn left at the courts. Parking is down the hill next to the shelters. Here’s a Google Maps link.

BRING a dish to share if you can, but no worries if you can’t! If you’d like, you can sign up here to see what’s needed.

BRING your own beverage or reusable water bottle, plate, and utensils. We’ll have a few compostable items and a jug of water if that’s not doable for you.

BRING your own favorite pens or small non-partisan stickers if you’d like. We’ll also have pens for you to use.

COMMIT to copying EVP’s exact postcard message; they’ve tested their wording, and we’re not allowed to ad-lib or change it.

DRESS for the weather and consider bug spray (the picnic area is near the woods). We’ll be infull shade.

CHECK your email in the morning; we may cancel or relocate in case of extreme weather.
