Sounding of the Last Trump? -The Donald as Commander-In-Chief!!

Trump Wants You to Hand Him the Button!

Donald Trump is Far More Dangerous than I had ever imagined! 

David Cay Johnston, a Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative reporter has known Trump personally for 30 years and has written a new book about Donald, who he is, what he's done and who his allies are. There is NO WAY this vindictive man, who's personal motto is "Get revenge" should be commander-in-chief of America's Military.

The mainstream media has fallen down on their responsibility to inform the American people about who Donald Trump really is!

Trump has no emapthy or compassion for anyone, having cut off his own medically fragile infant nephew from healthcare over a family dispute.

Trump is a hypocrite having imported illegal polish immigrants to demolish a building for slave wages under harsh and unsafe working conditions then tried stiff for their wages, which is Trump Standard Operating Procedure.

Trump is not a successful businesman, but a fraud and a con man. His "university" was a complete scam and he has made a career of ripping off small businesses workers who provided him goods and services.

He has ties to the New York Mob, latin American drug dealers and the russian mafia.

There's SO much more. Anyone who is unwilling to consider the information provided by Mr. Johnston doesn't need Trump to build another wall, there's already one between one's mind and the truth. On the other hand, knowing this information and still voting for Trump would be one of the most irresponsible things for our country and our planet that a person could ever do!

OUR NEXT EVENT

Citizen Koch
Promoted by Burlington Area Progressives

Wednesday, August 13 6:30PM - 8:26PM
at Plaza Theater
448 Milwaukee Ave., Burlington, WI, 53105 (map)
$10.00 General

In this searing exposé on the state of democracy in America and the fracturing of the Republican Party, Academy Award®-nominated directors Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water; co-producers of Fahrenheit 9/11 & Bowling for Columbine) follow the money behind the rise of the Tea Party. CITIZEN KOCH investigates the impact of unlimited, anonymous spending by corporations and billionaires on the electoral process, featuring stories of life-long Republicans whose loyalty is tested when their families become collateral damage in the GOP fight to take organized labor out at the knees. Alternately terrifying and funny, CITIZEN KOCH is an essential and powerful portrait of our political times.

Who We Are

Burlington Area Progressives is a non-profit, non-partisan group. Our mission is to inform, unify, and mobilize area citizens on local, state, and national issues.

A progressive is someone who believes in the betterment of society through progress. A progressive takes the best ideas from the past, updates them to the present, and uses them to create a better future. Progressives are concerned with freedom, social justice, education, health care, ecology, and voting rights -- among many other issues. Progressives believe that a rising tide should lift all boats. Unfortunately, the current tide seems to be lifting only a privileged few.

We believe that working together, we can turn back the waves of ignorance and oppression threatening our country and return America to the progressive values on which the country was founded -- values which made the United States a beacon of hope and freedom for the entire world.
