McCall No Kings Rally, Saturday, Oct. 18, 11 am at Veterans Park, McCall ( 3rd St. & Lenora St.)

They’ve gone too far. 
This is bigger than political disagreement. The administration has defied our courts, deported American citizens, disappeared people off the streets, and slashed our services—all while orchestrating a massive giveaway to their billionaire allies. 

Enough is enough. For anyone who thinks they’ve gone too far, this movement is for you.
End the Illegal Tarriffs which are raising our daily cost of living.
Stop the Attack on Health Care: Restore ACA Subsidies and Medicaid Funding.

That’s why we say: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. No Kings is about defending the ideals our founders fought for. This country doesn’t belong to so called strongmen. It belongs to the people.
Join people throughout the country who are standing up.

We will be collecting phone numbers and email addresses from likely Democrats in our county by going door to door. We will also be leaving literature about our upcoming Valley Co Democratic Picnic.

We will be joined by our young Dems coming to McCall that weekend to help out.

Trump has lied to You

Trump and his Republican Party politicians promised that things would be better with Trump as President. They lied to you, we are not better off, we are worse off. 

While Trump had his pathetic military parade, over 5 million Americans demonstrated across the country saying no his policies. In McCall, over 450 people demonstrated, the largest political rally in Valley County in recent history.

How do you feel seeing hard working legal residents ripped off the streets by masked men? In Florida, a 75 year old Cuban man died in ICE detention. He came to America when he was 16 years old. We used to protect Cubans fleeing Cuban dictatorship now we lock them up. He died away from his family in a cold cell 

What about this “Big Beautiful Bill”? Does it make your life better? No it doesn’t.

  • It will weaken our health care system with millions losing their insurance and up 100 million people paying more for health care. Nursing homes and hospitals will be closing, especially in rural states like Idaho.
  • It will cut food assistance causing tens of millions struggling to eat.
  • It will undermine our transition to a clean energy future.
  • It will threaten the fiscal integrity of the United States by exploding our deficit, debt and decreasing the value of our dollar.
  • It will give massive tax cuts to the wealthy and the privileged that they do not need while we get less benefits.

This ugly bill has passed the Senate passed the House. 

Senators Crapo, Senator Risch, Congressmen Fulcher from our District and Rep. Simpson all voted Yes.  They all supported the worst attack on working people in our country’s history. People will die due to lack of health care and children will go hungry, all to serve the super rich. 

A great majority of the American people do not support the Tariffs, do not support his immigration plan and do not support his Cruel Ugly Bill. More people each day are seeing him for what he is, a heartless person, a traitor to our country values. We must continue to be loud, be engaged. We can Win, and he will lose.

Join us in the fight.
