I’ll be turning up hippievan.io soon.
hippievan will be about sharing life in the past 10 years, all the real and imagined trips and experiences in the HIPEVAN. And going back as far my childhood (I’m 66 now), when I saw my life in dreams.
Howdy,
hippievan is now Town Hall Citizen @townhallcitizen
hippievan is going back to what it should be - stories, experiences, trips, and stuff from years of traveling around in the HIPEVAN. Website coming soon.
Love is the only future,
Also.
Sam reports that Trump and Vance were busy whipping on the Hill yesterday for yes votes. They both were reported to be worried about getting the blame for a shutdown
So that would make Schumer Trump's toady.
Even still. Democrats are known for pro-government. Seems odd that Americans would blame them for a shutdown.
I'm hoping No's prevail. But like I say, either way we're organizing -- thinking about the long game.
I hope to see you next week in Greeley, CO for Bernie.
On today's Majority Report Sam lays down the case for why Schumer needs to go and Democrats need new leadership.

Either way what happens today, we're organizing.
We'll be at Bernie's town hall next week in Greeley CO, handing out cards. If you're going to be there drop a line.
Protests are fine. But they mean nothing unless elections are won. Focus on winning elections.
hippievan organizes IRL town hall meetings where Democratic congressional reps are summoned by their constituents to answer questions and are held accountable.
We're starting in Colorado. The goal of the town hall meetings is to cause people to organize and form a citizens group so powerful it forces Democrats to work for us, instead of their donor class.
If you read the FAQ on our site, we're not talking about forming a third or fourth party.
Because of how our political system works a third or fourth party is never going to be viable.
Instead, the goal is to form a citizens group and movement that drives Democrats to work for us, instead of their donor class. We think this can be accomplished with about 5 million members nationwide.
Pls Favorite if you agree with these 10, which are FDR's New Deal but updated.
- A good paying job, good education, good and affordable housing
- Clean and healthy environment - clean air, food, and water
- Medicare For All
- The Open Web
- Free markets
- Publicly funded elections
- Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies
- Economic protection during sickness, accident, old age, or unemployment
- Department of Peace
- Legalize Marijuana
Power is never ceded without demand.
The Democrats aren't going to change unless they have to.
How do we do make them "have to"?
By holding IRL town hall meetings where Democratic congressional representatives are summoned by their constituents to answer questions and are held accountable.
And, forming a citizens group a few million strong. So strong that Democrats have to work for us, instead of their donor class.
This is what Americans do.
Michelle Obama's podcast about nothing is a prime example of how Democrats have failed us.
What to do?

Oh great. Just what we need right now. A podcast about nothing.
So instead of, I dunno, fighting against the fascists, Michelle decides to "go high".
She says "plenty of laughs". Easy for her to say, recording from one of her mansions that we the people paid for.
People. We need to form a Democratic citizens movement that's millions strong. When we do, the Democrats will have to work for us, instead of their donor class.
