Here is a message from Tulsi Gabbard, sent by the Sanders institute. Comrades might be interested in this message from Tulsi Gabbard sent around by the Sanders Institute. For those who aren't familiar with Tulsi Gabbard, she is the epitome of a 21st. century cold war liberal. She is a supporter of Neandro Modi and a Hindu sectarian and-Muslim bigot. Although Sanders, too, supports the racist state of Israel, he at least is slightly critical of them whereas Gabbard is not. She visited India where she was closely associated with the RSS, which is a semi-fascist if not outright fascist wing of the BJP. She appeared with the far right Israel supporter, Sheldon Adelson. Here <https://oaklandsocialist.com/2017/01/04/tulsi-gabbard-a-new-democratic-party-star/> is an article detailing her role. Gabbard also has worked closely with Trump as far as his foreign policy and traveled to Syria (along with another liberal icon, Dennis Kucinich). While there, she reportedly was a guest <https://oaklandsocialist.com/2017/02/01/steve-bannon-tulsi-gabbard-and-syria-social-nationalist-party/> of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, which is an outright fascist party. Unlike in the legal world, in politics guilt by association does hold. We see how Sanders is completely unprincipled as far as whom he associates with. Once again, I'm sure the socialists who support Sanders will ignore this sort of thing. And this they call "principled". John Reimann ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tulsi Gabbard, The Sanders Institute <i...@sandersinstitute.com> Date: Sat, Sep 9, 2017 at 1:50 PM Subject: DACA To: 1999wild...@gmail.com [image: Our Revolution] Aloha Friend, For so long, young people who came to this country as kids through no choice of their own, have been forced to live in the shadows, too afraid to come forward because they don't trust that our government won't come after them. Even after DACA was put in place, so many were too afraid to apply because if the program got taken away, the government would know where they live and could go after them and their families. But 800,000 young people in this country took that leap of faith, applied for DACA, and have relied on it to obtain an education, earn a living, and establish themselves in our communities. The current administration's decision on Tuesday to end DACA leaves them feeling betrayed and afraid after they put their trust in our government. Last week on Maui, I sat down with some of Hawaii’s DREAMers and heard their stories about living every day in fear of deportation until DACA was put into effect. They shared their stories of the opportunity and freedom they have experienced because of DACA, and the fear of uncertainty that now lies before them, with the prospects of their government targeting them and forcing them to leave the only home they’ve ever known. This is not a partisan issue. It's an issue that affects communities all across this country. DACA’s termination is a call for Congress to act now. We should take this opportunity to actually fix the problem once and for all and provide a permanent solution for these DREAMers, so they are not forced back into the shadows. I have had many conversations with people about this issue. I have spoken with those that support DACA, and those that do not support it. However, the most important part of any conversation about immigration and DACA is to be informed with the facts. *What is DACA?* DACA is a temporary program instituted by President Barack Obama that defers immigration action and provides relief from deportation for people who were brought into the United States as children and gives them a work permit. *Who is eligible for DACA?* The people who apply for and receive DACA must meet a number of requirements, including: they were under the age of 16 when they were brought into the U.S., they have lived most of their lives here, they are in school or have graduated or are an honorably discharged member of the military, they have not been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors. *How many people have DACA?* There are around 800,000 recipients of DACA right now in the U.S. *What can I do?* At the Sanders Institute, we believe that being informed, engaged, and involved in the discussion about an issue and a policy like DACA are the first crucial steps. *Visit the Sanders Institute to learn more about DACA, sanctuary cities, and other immigration issues.* <https://sandersinstitute-ourrev.bsd.net/page/m/2ba7af50/b9fe57e/4269d81/75ffb024/1934554049/VEsH/> Thank you for staying engaged, Tulsi Gabbard Sanders Institute Fellow *DONATE » <https://sandersinstitute-ourrev.bsd.net/page/m/2ba7af50/b9fe57e/4269d81/75ffb027/1934554049/VEsE/>* PAID FOR BY THE SANDERS INSTITUTE 131 CHURCH STREET <https://maps.google.com/?q=131+CHURCH+STREET+%0D+BURLINGTON,+VT+05401&entry=gmail&source=g> BURLINGTON, VT 05401 The Sanders Institute is a pending 501(c)(3) organization. 131 Church Street, Burlington, VT 05401 <https://maps.google.com/?q=131+Church+Street,+Burlington,+VT+05401&entry=gmail&source=g> This email was sent to 1999wild...@gmail.com.
