45's refusal to send aid to CA is deplorable. CA is the 6th largest economy in the world. They send a boat load of money to D. C. And only get $.81 back on every dollar they spend.
States Receiving Most in Federal Spending Per Dollar of Federal Taxes Paid:
1. D.C. ($6.17)
2. North Dakota ($2.03)
3. New Mexico ($1.89)
4. Mississippi ($1.84)
5. Alaska ($1.82)
6. West Virginia ($1.74)
7. Montana ($1.64)
8. Alabama ($1.61)
9. South Dakota ($1.59)
10. Arkansas ($1.53)
In contrast, of the 16 states that are "losers" -- receiving less in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes -- 69% are Blue States that voted for Al Gore in 2000. Indeed, 11 of the 14 (79%) of the states receiving the least federal spending per dollar of federal taxes paid are Blue States. Here are the Top 10 states that supply feed for the federal trough (with Blue States highlighted in bold):
States Receiving Least in Federal Spending Per Dollar of Federal Taxes Paid:
1. New Jersey ($0.62)
2. Connecticut ($0.64)
3. New Hampshire ($0.68)
4. Nevada ($0.73)
5. Illinois ($0.77)
6. Minnesota ($0.77)
7. Colorado ($0.79)
8. Massachusetts ($0.79)
9. California ($0.81)
10. New York ($0.81)
What is it going to take to get 45 out of our White House?

PPP and Black History Month
I am in possession of PPP's 10 Feb 2017 documentation of their work. You may get your own copy at:
www.publicpolicypolling.com
In the news recently "it was unclear whether Donald Trump really knew who Frederick Douglass was, and it turns out that puts him in pretty good alignment with his party base. Only
47% of Trump voters know that Frederick Douglass is dead, compared to
78% of Clinton voters who know that. Even though they need it, Trump voters aren't very excited about Black History Month. Only
45% of (Trump voters) have a favorable opinion of (Black History Month)
35% (of Trump voters have a negative opinion of Black History Month)
81% (of Clinton voters have a favorable opinion of Black History Month)
9% (of Clinton voters have a negative opinion of Black History Month)".
"A lot of Trump voters don't think we should have Black History Month, said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. But given that a majority (of) them don't know Frederick Douglass is dead, they might need it."
And yet both Senators Wicker and Cochran voted to confirm Betsy DeVos to be Secretary of Education. The most unqualified Secretary of Education EVER. MS needs to Repeal and Replace Wicker and Cochran. Enough said.
And if you would like to know more about why trump may have nominated DeVos, go to my FB page and look for an article with the pictures of DeVos, Trump and Putin. Very concerning.

Public Policy Polling: Obamacare
I am in possession of PPP's 10 Feb 2017 documentation of their work. You may get your own copy at:
www.publicpolicypolling.com
"Voters are concerned about trump taking away Obamacare.
47% of voters now say they support the Affordable Care Act to only
39% who are opposed. It just keeps getting more popular. And only
32% think the best course of action to take on health care is repealing the ACA, while
65% would like Congress to keep it and just fix parts that need fixing."
Stay tuned.

Public Policy Polling (PPP)
I am in possession of PPP's 10 Feb 2017 documentation of their work. You may get your own copy at:
www.publicpolicypolling.com
"Voters continue to have a lot of basic transparency concerns when it comes to Trump.
62% think he needs to fully divest himself from his business interests to only
27% who don't think it's necessary for him to do that. And
58% want him to release his tax returns, to just
31% who don't think he needs to. In fact by a
53/32 spread, voters would support a law requiring that candidates for President release , 5 years of their tax returns in order to appear on the ballot."
Stay tuned.

Repeal and Replace Wicker and Cochran
Why does MS keep electing people who do not vote to benefit MS?
Not only did our Governor not accept the ACA Medicaid expansion but our Senators just voted to confirm Senator Tom Price. If you are not familiar with Price, he wants to do away with the ACA all together.
So much for draining the swamp. Deplorable.

Wicker is wrong
One of MS's Senators, Roger Wicker, is on TV this morning in support of the travel ban.
Further, Wicker stated that he believed the three 9th Circuit Judges had no business weighing in on 45's right to ban travel from the 7 countries covered by the ban.
Senator Wicker, you are wrong. None of the countries included in this ban produced people who attacked America. The countries included in the ban were the countries that President Obama said did not have sufficient processes in place to vet travelers and that Americans needed to be careful if they wanted to travel to these seven countries.
Now back to 45. During the campaign, 45 read a letter that said very clearly he was calling for an immediate ban on Muslims coming into the United States until we could figure out what the hell is going on. You know this. I know this. That is what he said. Why don't you believe this is what he means?
Then Rudy Guilianni got on TV and said basically the same thing.
This administration is ruining America and you are going along with it. For you to say the people have no right to sue 45 on this issue is just wrong.
During the past week you have done the following:
1. Voted for Betsy DeVos and against the children of MS. DeVos is totally unqualified and you know it.
2. Voted for Jefferson Beauregard Session, III. Sessions may be good enough for AL but he isn't good enough for the people of MS and he isn't good for America.
3. Voted to silence Senator Elizabeth Warren on the subject of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III, but did not vote to silence the men who came after her who read Coretta Scott King's letter. Do you care to explain your vote on this subject?
You even voted against asking the Senate Sgt. at Arms to gather all Senators to the floor for a meeting. Really?
Senator Wicker, what is it that you are doing for the people of MS? Let me remind you that 500,000 Mississippians did not vote for 45. The only reason we are having to put up with this embarrassment is because of winner take all State legislation in the Electoral College. We the People did not vote for this in these United States of America and the Republican party needs to understand this.
In conclusion, I am asking you to do the following:
1. Vote to for an Independent Commission to investigate the involvement of Russia in our Election.
2. Get 45's tax returns released to the public.

What is it going to take?
Tonight Senators Wicker and Cochran voted to confirm Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.
When are our two Senators going to grow a spine and do what is right for MS and right for America?
Let's give them a job to do that they might accomplish and let's hold their feet to the fire.
So, here we go:
1. We want to see 45's tax returns. Do you think you could do that?
2. We want an Independent Commission to investigate the 8 Nov 2016, election and we want to know exactly what Russia did. Do you think you could do that?
If by chance your answer to either of the above requests is no, you need to resign because you are useless to the citizens of MS.
