Recall Gascon Now: TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND SIGNATURES!

We need to hustle like never before!

Two Hundred Thousand signatures is excellent, but we need to reach 580,000 by the end of October, and we should collect at least another 100,000 signatures as a buffer because signatures will get stricken off.

LET'S DO THIS, TEAM!

Hello Arthur, It was another terrific weekend of petition signing with reports pouring in from volunteers regarding their collection efforts. The Recall Gascon Now sign, share, and support efforts continue to see tremendous results! With just over 3 months remaining before signatures must be submitted to the LA County Registrar of Voters, the total number of signatures collected is closing in on 200,000. If you haven’t already started to share the petition by walking your neighborhood, this is the perfect week to begin! To assist you in the process, Recall Gascon Now will be at these two events to help get you set up. This past week also saw Recall Gascon Now mailing out hundreds of petitions to likely signers. If you have already signed (or live outside of LA County) and are looking for another way to help, then sharing the petition door-to-door or supporting the targeted door-to-door and mail sharing efforts with a financial contribution would be a huge help! Donate Also underway with Recall Gascon Now are the signature verification efforts which continue to reflect excellent and careful signature collection work by the volunteers on the petitions being submitted. As we look to enter the middle month of signature collection the marathon of this movement continues on with incredible momentum thanks to all of you. Please help to keep this crucial cause going strong and continue the work of signing, sharing, and supporting the recall of Gascon today. With much thanks and appreciation!

Trump's First Step Act Helps Black Americans Incarcerated for Excessive Periods in Federal Prison

Trump Admin's Criminal Justice Reform 'Overwhelmingly' Helping Black Prisoners.

Democrats have been relentless in trying to paint the Trump administration as an unadulterated evil for African-Americans.

But a report released this month by the U.S. Sentencing Commission just made that job many, many times harder.

The report found that the First Step Act of 2018, a criminal sentencing reform bill passed by a Republican Congress and signed by Trump in December 2018, had benefited black prisoners incarcerated in the federal prison system in numbers far greater than other races.

* Only 4.3 percent of prisoners receiving reduced sentences have been white. More than 90 percent have been black. And more than 98 percent of them have been male.

Those numbers reflect cases processed through April 30, according to the report, so that’s the effect of the law after only four months in existence. And remember, this is an administration, that has overseen an economy that has brought the unemployment rate among black Americans to historic lows.

Now, black Americans are the main beneficiaries of a sentencing reform bill that was passed when Republicans held majorities in both houses of Congress and signed by a president whom liberals, Democrats and their propaganda arm in the mainstream media have spent years now vilifying as a “racist.”

The party that fought the Civil War to keep black Americans enslaved in the United States, then spent more than 100 years after that defending Jim Crow laws that enforced a very real kind of second-class citizenship for black people in the South, has been disgracefully successful at painting itself as the champion of civil rights for minorities for two generations now.

It’s a propaganda victory that couldn’t have happened without the complicity of a leftist education system, a dishonest media and, of course, the lies of the Democratic Party itself. However, the numbers don’t lie.

It was the Trump administration that helped spur the American economy in ways that have undeniably benefited black Americans.

It was a Republican Congress and Trump’s signature that enacted criminal sentencing reform that’s benefited black Americans in more than nine out of 10 cases where it’s been applied. And all the Democratic pandering and mainstream media caterwauling about “racism” can’t change that.
