Gorsuch has been nominated to the Supreme Court. Republican politicians throughout the 2016 election cycle emphasized repeatedly the importance of stacking the Supreme Court. Progressives were divided by the Bernie vs Hillary drama and the decades-long Hillary is the wicked witch narrative. The Most. Qualified. Ever. message strained an already shaky credulity and, again, played into the Republican message by making it a battle about defining Hillary Clinton as a person or defining Donald Trump as a person or defining the respective supporters as people vs the concrete consequences of one side winning as vs the other. I respect protest politics. I started in protest politics. This petition is one demonstration that I still engage in protest politics, but there is no substitute for winning elections. I'll repeat now what I posted on my Facebook immediately after the General Election: Don't Mourn -- Organize. Organize to win elections. Keep fighting. Surrender is not an option. Thank you for taking the time to sign this petition. Signing a petition was the first political act of my adult life. Attending a rally followed that. Then, volunteering on a campaign... Today I am the elected Trustee of Vernon Township. Republican front groups controlled Vernon Township for the last 40 years. They ran and won unopposed 4 years ago. The Vernon Township Democrats held a caucus in January. 15 people were there and I was nominated. From that 15 we grew into an organization of over 2000 voters. We are rebuilding the Democratic party from the ground up. My advice to all of you is do the same... volunteer for a campaign... run for office... be the change you are waiting for... In solidarity, Adam Broad
