Say NO to Lies, Hate, Fear, and Division
Say NO to the lies and the messages of hate, fear, and division that are showing up as ads on TV, Facebook, U Tube, and in your mailbox.

Access to Clean Drinking Water Shouldn’t be Controversial
Ensuring access to clean drinking water shouldn’t be a point of contention. Water is essential to life, and there should be bipartisan consensus that we must protect this vital resource.
