Mitch McConnell has called an emergency early vote for Senate Majority Leader for Wednesday November 13, 2024. Call your GOP Senator and tell them to vote for Rick Scott. He is the choice to secure the southern border and stop the child and human trafficking of illegal immigrants coming into the US smuggling children, and to help move us forward into the Golden Age.
Please call all Republican Senators and remind them that they were elected to represent The People’s wishes, not their own. Ask them to vote for Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader. Here is a phone list of all Republican Senators who will be voting on Wednesday.
We need to remind our Representatives that they are elected by us to represent us, not rule over us. They are supposed to listen to what we think and what we want, and take that information to Washington and act on it. We’ve had too many Representatives acting on agendas other than what is best for the American people and for our country. Here is Rick Scott sitting down with Maria Bartiromo yesterday telling us what he brings to the American people as Majority Leader.

Update on Finding the over 325,000 Missing Children
Tom Homan, President Trump’s new Border Czar has promised to find and rescue the over 300,000 missing children that were smuggled into the United States through the southern border and were sold into some form of slavery. (Thank you God.)
It’s 3/3/2023, and so we advance through this portal day toward rapid progress. We have opened the door to a surprising path of surpassing all expectations of what the human populace is capable of doing. Rapid progress is what has been ringing my ears this morning. This portal is a gift. A gift for us to make a wish and put it out into the Universe for the better.
We all need to feel something positive in our lives. We are going through dark times. If you knew ahead of time that you had to go through some rough patches in order to get to an upgrade, would you say yes? I think we were asked this very question by God when he tapped us on the shoulder and chose us to be here now. He chose us to carry the Light and shine as brightly as possible through this dark time.
The grief emotions are real. On a level of which we may be unaware, we are saying goodbye to a world we knew and like the fool in Tarot, we step forward into the unknown. We are going to go through experiences that evoke emotions. Pain, loss, grieving. A normal reaction would be to resent the experience that is bringing up all those feelings and maybe even seek to blame someone in an attempt to throw that discomfort elsewhere. Being vulnerable without judgment, going to our higher power or searching deep inside, being able to be unapologetically ourselves, met with unconditional love and acceptance either by ourselves or God or a friend. This brings us through the cleansing fire of holy purpose and brings us out the other side to being in full possession of our own personal power and assertiveness. This is the type of experience that fuels our inner fire and is exactly what the masses need right now… right on time, right on schedule.
Harsh truths are going to make us want to take action. Let our voices ring out. Let us take action. Let us tell the tales of truth that cannot be denied. The People will rise and they won’t be quiet and passive any longer. There will be a quickening of rapid progress and exponential growth. This is the time for which we’ve been preparing. This is the perfect day to rededicate ourselves to our own unique missions.
For myself, personally on this 333 portal day, I declare for my future, My Love and my destiny with my voice so clear, that:
I am here for The Mother whose voice has been squashed.
It has been difficult to see the level of darkness in this world with opened eyes. We experience the grief process as we grasp what is really happening. We do not resent it though Father, because we know that this is part of the cleansing process of the world that is by your hand. We will not be ashamed of the vulnerability of our sadness, but rather are gifted by the experience of being able to come to you and drop our guard and be unapologetically ourselves because Psalm 18 tells us, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
This fuels our fire, Father, as we re-dedicate ourselves to our work. To let our voices ring out, to let them be heard far & wide so that truth is miraculously cognized. To shine Light that shatters those that have kept our world in darkness, until now.
Thank you for the gift of this day and the opportunity to be your light in a rising world. We ask for special blessings for those who are unjustly locked up and are suffering. Please bless all who work tirelessly for a better world, for we know they are under your special guidance. May we all be instilled with inspiration knowing blockages are being removed by you Father, may it be the hope that fuels our fire to continue to clean up the trash and make increasing progress toward a better world.
Through the course of the day we run into many people complaining about the government and how things are run. Luckily there is a system for us to take our thoughts and opinions to people who will do something about it and it is to call our representatives. Yeah I know, what’s the use, you might say, they will just give lip service and forget about me. The truth is they work for us, let’s make them earn their salaries that come from our paychecks and keep the pressure on them to be more productive on our behalf. This is guide to help get your comfortable and up to speed.
Preparation Tips
Keep it concise- Keep the message simple and concise. A good model to follow is: State the issue, support with facts and then state your goal, such as asking the legislator’s support for a bill.
Stay on Topic- Keep to one issue in each call. If you want to discuss other matters, call back another time. A well-organized and understandable comment means it will be more accurately passed along.
Landing your message- A personal touch makes all the difference. Don’t be afraid to say something positive, it might help your message get through. Think of it as putting a little bit of yourself out there to carry the message to target. Keep it relevant but as authentic as possible.
Provide your information- If you are a constituent of that Member’s district, you will probably be asked to give your name and address so that you can receive a response letter or email.
Your comment becomes part of the public record– Be aware that the letter you send is not private. All correspondence to congressional representatives goes into their constituent-management system, where it is made public record.
Your tone matters- When making your call, be calm and polite. Staffers deal with daily calls with people ranting. They will tune out any callers who yell or use insults and obscenities. Comments of callers who are rude or disrespectful are often thrown in the trash, if they are even written down at all. You want your message to be heard so be respectful and your message will be respected. Avoid emotional arguments, personal attacks, threats of political influence or demands. Thank the staffer for taking your call and let him or her know how you will follow up.
Following up- Decide beforehand how you will follow up. Do you want a phonecall, letter, email in return? Will you call again to follow-up? Tell your representative how you will follow up and have them to agree to getting answers for you by then.
Calling outside your district– Don’t be afraid to call a member of Congressional Leadership, such as the Speaker of the House or Senate Majority Leader, OR a Member of Congress on a certain committee or who has influence over a certain policy matter. However, keep in mind that if you are not a constituent of that Member’s district, the person answering your call may refuse to take your comment. You may then ask them to forward you to your Congressman’s office.
Ways to Contact
Phonecall- When it comes to taking action, the power of a phone call is stronger than that of text, email, Facebook post, or a tweet. Most of the time, the intern will simply log your call into a spreadsheet and a high-level staff will generate a weekly report that contains data such as the number of phone calls, the subject of the calls, and the constituents’ opinions. Instead of calling a Washington office, call your representative’s local district offices. They usually have more staff who can entertain constituents’ calls.
Video or Podcast- Consider making a video or podcast and tagging your representative to get your message across.
Twitter- Tweets are more instantaneous and let senators and congressmen know what constituents are interested in. Social media is effective though when the people are showing a trend in their opinions, then their voices can carry weight.
Emails- Emails are not the most effective means to get a message through. Due to sheer volume of emails, they get grouped together by an algorithm and put into a report.
Letter- Sending a letter to a representative’s local district office is better than sending an email, but not as effective as a phonecall.
Meeting in person- Go to their office with or without making an appointment. You may meet with a staffer, but you will make an impression and will be remembered in your follow-up. Persistence pays off.
How to Call
So, I like to learn a little about the issue so I am acquainted with the overall picture. I take notes on facts. Then, I take a few quiet moments and think about the issue, and then relate it to myself. How does it make me feel? I write that down. For example, that makes me really angry/sad/furious/exhausted/poor/sick/etc…then focus that energy to coming up with 1-3 points to discuss. Then I try to come up with some questions around those so that I sound like I know what I’m talking about and can have a conversation on the off-chance that a staffer actually answers the phone. You can pull out questions by doing your own research.
Now pick up the phone and call. Be civil, but firm. Once you do it a few times, it gets much easier and is a healthy to channel our aggravation, granted we are speaking in a calm, reasonable manner. They say speaking out to the proper channels is more healthy and productive than stuffing our frustration and anger inside of us, feeling defeated. When we stand up and take action, we are telling the Universe that we are an effective force in our world, and that carries weight for all other things in our life.
Public pressure helps create movement. Our calls are documented and compiled on spreadsheets. They are tallied up and looked at by political analysts attempting give their boss an edge. Our calls don’t just sit there untouched. Our voices are incredibly powerful, especially when raised together.
Senate
When you have inquiries or opinions about public policy or legislation or want to request personal assistance, we recommend contacting your state’s senator.
Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
The statistics on human trafficking are horrendous. If you are unaware, you need to educate yourself. I wish we didn’t need to have this conversation either, but we do. We gotta be responsible, compassionate adults and make others aware so we can fight the problem together.
According to safehorizon.org:
Statistics and Facts
National Human Trafficking Statistics
24.9 million people are victims of forced labor. (ILO, 2017)

4.1 million people are trafficked for forced labor in state-imposed forced labor.It is estimated that 20.9 million people are trafficked worldwide. (ILO, 2017)
Women and girls are disproportionately affected by human trafficking, accounting for 71% of all victims. (ILO, 2017)
Labor Trafficking Statistics
Forced labor in the private economy generates an estimated $150 billion in illegal profits per year. (ILO, 2012)
The largest share of labor trafficked adults are domestic workers (24%) followed by construction (18%), manufacturing (15%), and agriculture and fishing (11%) sectors. (ILO, 2017)

Human trafficking victims are often forced, through sexual, physical and/or psychological violence, to perform work under slavery-like conditions.
Tactics used by groomers, recruiters, traffickers and their associates are often the same tactics used by batterers and can mirror dynamics of domestic violence.
Traffickers use a variety of coercive methods to control their victims including:
Luring their victims with false promises of economic opportunity
Withholding identification, work authorization, or travel documents
Demanding repayment for a real or alleged debt
Using or threatening to use violence
Monitoring and surveillance activities
Paying very little or not paying at all for work
Trafficked victims may:
Be forced to live in subpar conditions (living in the same place as they work; living in a space that does not have heat, running water, or electricity; living with many people sharing the same, small space)
Not be allowed to talk to anyone alone or without supervision
Be coached on how to respond to inquiries from others including police and other authority figures
Regardless of immigration status, all people that work in the United States have the right to:
Be paid at least a minimum wage
A safe and healthy workplace
Not be held in a job against their will
Keep their passport and other identification documents in their possession
Report abuse without retaliation
Leave an abusive employment situation
Get help from unions, immigrant and labor rights groups, and other organizations
Be aware. Make others aware. Fight the problem.
