Every Saturday, Indivisible Nashoba hosts a fun, informal, and effective postcard party where we send creative handwritten postcards to voters, legislators, and anyone else we feel needs motivation … to vote, to speak out, to participate. For example, we’ve sent out thousands of personalized postcards to encourage folks to get out and vote.)
Bring your fancy colored pens to Mike
and Mary’s on Saturday.

From IN Newsletter of November 4th: Mike says, “We’ll be writing cards to support Democrat John Bel Edwards in a run-off election for governor of Louisiana. Apparently, neither candidate got 50% of the vote, so LA law calls for a re-do. That election will be held on Nov. 16th.”
Join us at Mike and Mary’s this Saturday. Bring a friend. 9-11
a.m. For details contact Mike at m3metzger@yahoo.com.

Excerpts from Boston Globe’s Fast
Forward by Teresa Hanafin – October
17, 2019
“There’s a new bombshell
investigative report by ProPublica that seems to confirm what former
Trump fixer Michael Cohen told Congress: That in his private business,
Trump inflated the value of his assets when he was trying to borrow money, and
deflated the values when he was paying taxes. Both would constitute criminal
fraud.
From the story: “Documents obtained by ProPublica show stark differences
in how Donald Trump’s businesses reported some expenses, profits and occupancy
figures for two Manhattan buildings, giving a lender different figures than
they provided to New York City tax authorities. The discrepancies made the
buildings appear more profitable to the lender — and less profitable to the
officials who set the buildings’ property tax.”
“The discrepancies are ‘versions of fraud,’ said Nancy Wallace, a professor of
finance and real estate at the Haas School of Business at the University of
California-Berkeley. ‘This kind of stuff is not OK.’ “
Washington Post Opinion –
Max Boot October 17, 2019
“Between Syria and Ukraine, President Trump has had an awful few
weeks. A majority of
the public now favors his impeachment and removal. But don’t get cocky,
Trump-haters. Developments from across the pond suggest that he might prove too
resilient for comfort.”
According to Indivisible’s national organization, here’s
something you can do right now to keep the pressure up on impeachment – even
considering the progressive nature of Massachusetts.
Indivisible Nashoba is involved
in many activities that engage voters including postcard events, candidate
forums, ranked choice voting canvassing, and debate parties. We are a
volunteer organization and we need financial support to continue our efforts
here in Nashoba Valley.
$11 will purchase
100 blank postcards.
$35 gets us 100
postcard stamps.
$50 helps us sponsor
events like the debate parties or the Grotonfest booth.
Your
contribution will benefit Indivisible Nashoba, a 501(c)(4) social welfare
organization. Donations are not deductible for federal income tax purposes as
charitable contributions. For
