SUMMARY:Socialist State of the Union - Denton ISO Watch Party
DESCRIPTION:The Denton ISO will be hosting a watch party of the State of the Union address at UNT (room to be determined). We will provide snacks! Bring a comrade\, sit back\, and watch the absurdity. Afterwards\, we’ll view the livestream of the Socialist Response to Trump on Twitter. Join us the next day for our weekly meeting which will cover the address: https://www.facebook.com/events/810228879161458/ \nFrom the national ISO Facebook event (https://www.facebook.com/events/1819444398348299/): \n“On January 30\, Donald Trump will give his first State of the Union Address. The speech comes after a year of a White House-led all-out assault on the working class\, immigrants\, Muslims\, women\, people of color\, LGBTQ folks\, people with disabilities\, and the planet. It has also been a year in which the “opposition party”–the Democrats–has failed to stop the attacks\, let alone offer an alternative\, whether on immigration\, health care\, foreign policy\, or anything else.  \nWith Trump continuing the attack–on people with DACA and TPS\, and threatening war on the Korean Peninsula–the speech is sure to be outrageous\, terrifying\, offensive\, and absurd in that Trumpian kind of way. Socialist Worker will be responding on its Facebook page and live tweeting in response to the speech @SocialistViews\, and you’re invited to join the conversation. After the speech\, tune in for a Facebook livestream of the Socialist Response to Trump\, given by Alan Maass\, the editor of Socialist Worker. \nHere is a recent Socialist Worker editorial\, “Sick of a Shithole President”: https://socialistworker.org/2018/01/15/sick-of-a-shithole-president “

SUMMARY:Grinch and Coal for Rep. Hurd
DESCRIPTION:The Grinch Who Stole Christmas will make a special appearance to personally thank Rep. Hurd for voting in favor of the final version of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act.   \nThe legislation repeals part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and forces $25 billion automatic cuts to Medicare annually to give trillions in tax breaks to the richest households and multi-national corporations like Apple\, Pfizer\, and Wells Fargo. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicts that the bill would result in 13 million more uninsured people and premium increases of up to 10% for millions.  \nThe Republicans’ $1.4 trillion dollar final tax package provides most of its benefits to high-income households and foreign investors while raising taxes on many low- and middle-income Americans. The legislation will force cuts to Medicaid\, Medicare and the ACA and countless other public services to finance the tax giveaway to the wealthy and big business.  In 2019 more than half the tax breaks in the bill will go the richest 5 percent of taxpayers. The richest one percent of taxpayers will receive an average tax cut of more than $55\,000\, more than the average annual income for a middle class family.  \nConstituents will deliver coal to Representative Hurd\, share their stories and how cuts to Medicare\, Medicare and/or the loss of ACA will negatively impact them AND ask him to commit to protecting Medicaid and Medicare in the new year!

SUMMARY:Santa is Watching Hurd! Vote No on Tax Scam Bill.
DESCRIPTION:Making good decisions is especially important this time of year. \nCongressman Hurd is a critical vote to defeat the Christmas Tax Scam bill in front of the House and Senate.

Will Hurd’s office on Monday\, December 11th to call on Congressman Hurd to Do The Right Thing.  Santa is watching and so are we! \nPlease join us\, bring signs\, tell your friends\, and help save healthcare by stopping this terrible tax bill from passing the House.

SUMMARY:SPEAK OUT Against Fetal Tissue Burial Rules
DESCRIPTION:The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is holding a hearing to take public comment on the proposed embryonic and fetal tissue burial and cremation rules. These are similar to rules promulgated by Governor Greg Abbott last summer and despite an ongoing legal challenge\, the Legislature codified the rules into state law this summer. \nRequiring burial or cremation of fetal tissue is cruel and medically unnecessary and serves only to stigmatize people seeking abortion care. Make your voice heard on Monday by testifying in person or submitting written comments. Each person will be given 3 minutes to speak. Click here for instruction on how to submit written comments: https://hhs.texas.gov/about-hhs/communications-events/meetings-events/2017/12/11/proposed-new-rules-regarding-disposition-embryonic-fetal-tissue-remains
