In a diary a few days ago, I urged my fellow kossacks to check out Flippable.org — a site dedicated to mobilizing action with an emphasis on the state and local levels.
While I have no doubt that a lot more happens here than venting, I’d love to see us all pulling the oars together. It is for this reason that I’m so intrigued with flippable.
Another thing that intrigues me is the relative youth and experience of the people who have created and implemented this idea. Look at these faces:

Being a man in my 50s, I'm always ecstatic when smart young people are willing and able to build something new. I feel the need to support their drive and energy. None of which would matter if their strategy and goals were not clear and achievable. But I think they clear that bar easily.
With that in mind. I urge you to consider signing up - and I urge you to participate in their daily action items.
Below is the information to investigate them, and their description of today’s initiative to contact the Senate Judiciary Committee in opposition of his confirmation.
I'll be calling. Hope you will join me.

Stop Jeff Sessions from becoming our Attorney General. On January 10th and 11th, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a confirmation hearing for President-elect Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. We need to ensure that Sessions is rigorously questioned by the senators on the committee, so that Sessions’ legacy of racism can be exposed.
Senate Judiciary Committee: 202-224-5225
Make sure to RSVP to the event, and invite all of your friends. Calls will begin today and last through his confirmation before the whole Senate. We need to overwhelm the phone lines in opposition to Sessions.
Phone Script: I am concerned about the upcoming confirmation hearing of Senator Jeff Sessions. It is important that he be asked hard questions by both Republicans and Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. Anyone who aspires to be our top lawyer must be thoroughly vetted, and Senator Sessions needs to publicly prove that he respects the dignity and rights of all Americans. I ask you to rigorously question him during this hearing. Please judge his responses not just as a partisan politician, but as an American concerned with justice and equality for all.
He was too racist to be a federal judge in 1986, and he’s too racist to be our Attorney General now.
