All CG Dems members that have paid their dues for 2025 on or by February 3, 2025, are eligible. UM Dems can join for free but must submit a nomination form by February 3rd to qualify.

The Nominating Committee will review all candidates and recommend a 2025-2027 slate of board officers and members at the March 20th Members Only Annual Meeting.

All board members and officers serve a two-year term. We are especially seeking board members who bring fresh perspectives, commitment and skills to our cause. We need:

-A male co-vice president due to new FDP Bylaws requirements

-Two or three additional board members

Please contact Janet Stearns if you are a UM Dem or with questions at [email protected]

 

 

 

VOLUNTEER ACTION NEEDED
TO STOP ELON MUSK

 

We are now beyond appalled at what is going on with this evil new administration and Elon Musk’s disgraceful actions. For those of you who feel the same and want to raise the alarm with those who can stop it, CG Dems Member Kitty Terry has provided the contact names and phone numbers plus simple scripts to follow. See below and for details or you can print the info at the link below.
Please make these calls or send emails ASAP and share this info with others!🙏 

Secretary of The Treasury Scott Bessent (202) 622-2000

Script For Secretary Scott Bessent 

I'm calling to express my great concern regarding Elon Musk's access to various federal payment systems. Musk was not elected and the Department of Government Efficiency is not a legal entity of the US government. I believe this represents a grave threat to our economy as Musk has promised to illegally stop lawful payments being made to fund critical services. I am further concerned with him accessing the personally identifiable information for all Americans as he has access to the social security database. As Treasury Secretary YOU are accountable for these systems and for safeguarding this data. It is unacceptable for you to allow Musk to have access to these critical systems. I am calling on you to get his access removed and to determine what data he may have stolen.  

House Finance Services Committee
   Chair:                         French Hill (202) 225-2506 
   Ranking Member:   Maxine Waters (202) 225-2201 

 Senate Finance Services Committee:
    Chair:                         Mike Crapo (202) 224-6142
    Ranking Member:   Ron Wyden (202) 224-5244 

Script For French Hill and Mike Crapo

I'm calling to express my great concern regarding Elon Musk's access to various federal payment systems. Musk was not elected and the Department of Government Efficiency is not a legal entity of the US government. I believe this represents a grave threat to our economy as Musk has promised to illegally stop lawful payments being made to fund critical services. I am further concerned with him accessing the personally identifiable information for all Americans as he has access to the social security database. As Chairman of the Finance Committee, you have a lawful responsibility to oversee the Treasury. You are accountable for Musk's actions. Do something - get Musk and his affiliates out of these systems and investigate whether they stole sensitive information. 

Script for Maxine Waters and Ron Wyden: 

I'm calling to express my great concern regarding Elon Musk's access to various federal payment systems. Musk was not elected and the Department of Government Efficiency is not a legal entity of the US government. I believe this represents a grave threat to our economy as Musk has promised to illegally stop lawful payments being made to fund critical services. I am further concerned with him accessing the personally identifiable information for all Americans as he has access to the social security database. As Ranking member of the Finance Committee, you have a powerful platform to express your opposition. Thank you for what you have already done. Please know that all Americans that are paying attention are absolutely terrified about the implications of Musk's coup. Please continue to be as public as possible with your opposition and use every opportunity to raise the alarm. 

Senator Rick Scott: (202) 224-5274

Ashley Moody: (202) 224-3041

US House District 27 Congressperson:
Maria Elvira Salazar:
202-225-3931

https://salazar.house.gov/contact

 

Script for Maria Salazar (or your Congressperson), Rick Scott and Ashley Moody

I'm calling/writing to express my great concern regarding Elon Musk's access to

various federal payment systems. Musk was not elected and the Department of Government Efficiency is not a legal entity of the US government. I believe this represents a grave threat to our economy as Musk has promised to illegally stop lawful payments being made to fund critical services. I am further concerned with him accessing the personally identifiable information for all Americans as he has access to the social security database. As your constituent I want you to understand how alarmed I am about this situation - it is totally unacceptable. I know that you, too, are concerned about this abrogation of Congress’s authority; I urge you in the strongest possible terms to oppose this blatant coup.
