CALL TO ACTION
The recent Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.
Just an FYI. Phone calls are required to be noted and logged by Congress. Emails are not. If you want your message to be heard, call your congress member every morning. Also, if you are calling a congress member outside of your district, they are not required to log those messages. Just start flooding Olbernotle’s line. Make that big boy sweat a little.
Please….. Call, Email and post on their Social media the Eight Democrats (and one independent) Who Voted to End the Shutdown:
Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nevada (702) 388-5020
Dick Durbin (Democrat-Illinois) (202) 224-2152
John Fetterman (Democrat-Pennsylvania (202) 224-4254
Maggie Hassan (Democrat-New Hampshire) (603) 622-2204
Tim Kaine (Democrat-Virginia) (202) 224-4024
Angus King (Independent-Maine) (202) 224-5344
Jackie Rosen (Democrat-Nevada) (202) 224-6244
Jeanne Shaheen (Democrat-New Hampshire) (202) 224-2841
Don’t forget to contact our local rep who votes against his constituents EVERY TIME.
Jay Obernolte Our Republican House Rep (202) 225-5861
fyi…
Both of the independents who voted for the deal received huge donations in 2024 from the pharma industry, according to OpenSecrets,
King: $737,900

Of the Democrats on the list, six do not face re-election until at least 2028, and two are not seeking re-election.

Jay the “jackal” ……..often refers to a person who acts like a scavenger, someone who performs menial or degrading tasks for another, or a person who collaborates in dishonest or base deeds. It can also be used to describe someone who is cunning, treacherous, or opportunistic. Essentially, it’s a term used to insult someone’s character, implying they are morally unscrupulous and willing to benefit from others’ misfortune.
Check out the comments to Jays post. Doesn’t look like he is fooling anyone.

HELP our Neighbors
The cuts to CalFresh and the delays in benefits didn’t happen by accident. They are the result of choices made by Republican leaders, including Trump and Rep. Jay Obernolte.
While they ignore the people they are supposed to serve, the Mountain Bears Democratic Club is stepping up to help our neighbors.

Hello Members,
We just received some disturbing information and I wanted to share what I know.
About: https://sistermysisterbakeshop.com/
The owner of Sister My Sister Bake Shop (Big Bear) is being targeted for “Free Speech”. As I would hope that our fellow Dems would support us if we were ever targeted ….I am asking we support this Business and family. I am concerned about the counter protest being heated since as you can see below the bad actors look radicalized, however I am giving you the info I received.
I would also like to recommend another way of supporting them would be to place an order and future orders or stop the shop for a bite when in Big Bear. Maybe call them or email them, they have your support.
What I am told: Her bakery is being boycotted by the big bear right-wingers because of her comments on Charlie Kirk.

Sign CALExit Petition
On January 23, 2025 our organization was cleared by the Secretary of State to begin collecting signatures on an official ballot proposition that will give you a vote on CALEXIT.
If enacted, this measure places the following question on November 2028 ballot: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?” If at least 50% of registered voters participate in that election, and at least 55% vote “yes”, it would constitute “a vote of no confidence in the United States of America” and “expression of the will of the people of California” to become an independent country, but would not change California’s current government or relationship with the United States. Creates commission to report on California’s viability as independent country.

Well it's starting to happen...DOGE cuts and Trump tariffs are affecting our Mountain community. We need to "educate" the Republicans THIS IS WHAT THEY VOTED for. Jobs lost, prices rising, services disappearing, small businesses closing.....much more to come....
With federal funds cut, California and SB County are going to have to make some “Sophie’s" choices. Do we feed homebound elderly with Meals on Wheels or do we keep the Senior Center open?(Cuts are already being made to the Senior Center). Do we hire more firemen or do we let Trump cut down our forests?
Have you seen Lake Arrowhead Village lately? It is a disaster! Tariffs are going to put many of the businesses that survive the remodel out of business. What is the Chamber of commerce doing? (Nothing...kissing Jay Obernolte's ego that's what!).
They thought they didn't get handouts.....they thought their American privilege made them immune...but now that their jobs, kids education, forests, Senior Center, Medicaid and 401Ks are on the chopping block they might see what their greed and privilege has bought them.
Soooo …..this is where YOU come in.....We need your experiences, we need your story, we need writers, we need leads. Please contact us if you are interested in this project. Email MountainBearDemSecretary@gmail.com

MEDICAID CUTS
California’s behemoth Medicaid program insures 14.9 million people, more than one-third of the state’s population. Republicans hold nine House seats in California and represent 2.5 million Medicaid enrollees. All nine voted to approve the House GOP budget bill at the end of February. Some of the state’s most conservative areas benefit disproportionately from Medicaid, including Rep Jay Obernolte’s dist. in San Bernardino County high desert where 48% of the population have Medicaid.

RAISE FOR THE RICH
The House voted on January 25 to pass a budget resolution that will provide the blueprint for a massive reconciliation bill. Democrats said the budget plan, passed by a 217-215 vote, cuts Medicaid to give billionaires a 4.5 Trillion $$ tax break. Calvert, Kim and Obernolte voted for the bill, while all House Democrats opposed it.
