Sorry can't copy on iPad (won't let me scroll and highlight) but looks like in 6 months a lot of R incumbents won't be back?

Good bye, Shitlatte.

We should target the others.

We should also target career Democratic politicians and vote progressive. My eye is on Feinstein this year.

Vote progressive... we can't vote we can only express our opinions...

Use common sense. I’m sure you have family and friends that can legally vote and support our cause.

You can volunteer - be a progressive voice and face for the future of immigrants.

Look at Pramila Jayapal. She was a fierce immigrants' rights advocate and the leader of One America. When our union (who wastes a lot of our dues on political campaign support for corporate Dems) asked us to volunteer in last Congress's elections, 2/3 of our members chose the progressive candidate over the mainstream Dem.

Yes, you can effect change.

Democrats have used us and Republicans abused us.

I am cancelling my ACLU donation in protests of their tepid responses over the years about immigrant prisons and Obama's millions of deportations. They hired a 'Dreamer' Lorella Praelli who has absolutely no clear accomplishments on behalf of the immigrant community.

Compare that to the honest work that Erika Andiola did for the Sanders campaign and the work that she is doing right now on behalf of immigrants.

In that same vein, protect your money and donations and use them to push for change at your local and state levels.

Fuck Daca. Pass the Dream Act.

If you want to change the whole system, then get to work on CIR independently of Dream Act.
