Prop. 29 - Kidney Dialysis Clinics and Doctors On-Site. What does your Yes or No Vote Mean on Proposition 29? Here is what Proposition 29 is proposing. Clinics must have at least one doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant during all treatment hours. Clinics must report any dialysis-related infections to the state every three months. Clinics must disclose who owns the clinic to patients. Clinics need permission from the state before closing or reducing services. Clinics can’t refuse to treat patients based on how they are paying for their treatment. A Yes Vote Means you want these changes to be made at Kidney Dialysis Clinics in California. A No Vote Means you want the regulations to stay the same, with no changes.

Prop. 31 asks California voters whether we should ban Flavored Tobacco. But we are not voting up or down on this issue. Instead, we are voting on a 2020 Referendum that bans some FLAVORED TOBACCO products. Here is what your Yes or No vote means. A Yes Vote means you support that law. Yes means you DO NOT want flavored tobacco sold in California. NO means you don’t like the law. Vote No if you want to be able to buy flavored tobacco cigarettes or other flavored tobacco products.

Here are my Highlights of the final January 6 Committee's Investigation into the Attack on the U.S. Capitol: Unanimous Committee Vote to issue a Congressional Subpoena to Former President Trump to answer questions and share documents regarding his involvement in planning the attack on the Capitol. Video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling on the National Guard, asking the Governor of Maryland and Virginia to help. Trump secretly ordered U.S. Troops out of Afghanistan.  The F.B.I. and the Secret Service knew there would be an armed attack on the Capitol and failed to share the information. Speaker Pelosi threatened to Punch President Trump in the face if he showed up at the Capitol. I sourced some of the material in the podcast episode from Jamie Dupree; he is the author of the newsletter called "Regular Order." He is a veteran Capitol Reporter and a good friend. I highly recommend you subscribe to his newsletter.  Here is the link:    

Prop. One  Abortion - What Does Your Yes or NoVote Mean? California's Proposition One - Abortion Rights - What Does Your Yes or No Vote Mean? Proposition 1 Amends the California State Constitution to guarantee a woman's right to reproductive freedom.   Abortion is legal in California. This Amendment, before the voters on the November Ballot, would give women additional legal reproductive protection.   A Yes vote means you want to amend the California Constitution to include a Woman’s right to reproductive freedom. If you are pro-choice, vote Yes.   A No vote means you don’t want to amend the California Constitution to include reproduction. If you are anti-abortion, vote No.   For more information, I have links on my website and blog post. https://gloriamoraga.com/ https://gloriamoraga.com/how-to-vote-on-proposition-1-what-your-yes-or-no-vote-means-for-reproductive-freedom/          

REDISTRICTING OUR VOTING RIGHTS AWAY - WHY WE NEED TO WATCH THE SUPREME COURT. It's happening right now in States across the country. Republican legislatures use redistricting, also known as Gerrymandering, to make it more difficult for Democratic or Moderate candidates to win.   On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case from Alabama that is another effort to dismantle the Voting Rights Act. If the court rules with Alabama, other States will follow suit. And make it more difficult to hold free and fair elections in this country.  For more on this story, please read my post. https://gloriamoraga.com/voting-rights-and-redistricting/ I have included a clip from Tuesday's Supreme Court Hearing at the end of this podcast. In that clip, our newest Justice shines. To listen to the entire hearing, go to my website. GloriaMoraga.com. I have the whole audio file on the homepage and a link to the transcript.  #vote #democracy     

The Eighth Hearing of the January 6 Committee Investigating the Attack on the U.S. Capitol documented what President Trump did while two women died and Capitol Police and rioters were injured.  As bad as it was, it could have been worse. Using videotape, sworn testimony, and subpoenaed documents, the Committee presented a timeline showing what happened on Capitol Hill and what Trump was doing or not doing.   For more on this story, visit my website, gloriamoraga.com

The Seventh Hearing Jan. 6 Congressional Hearing featured testimony from Jason Van Tatenhove, Former Oath Keepers Spokesperson, and Stephen Ayres, a January 6th, Defendant. The Committee used videotape, social media posts, and testimony from former Trump administration officials to show the former President's connection to right-wing, para-military groups. And lawmakers documented why he called on his supporters to March on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. For links and more on this story, visit my website, gloriamoraga.com. 

The House Select Committee Investigating January 6, 2021, Attack on the U.S. Capitol welcomed Cassidy Hutchinson into the hearing room on Tuesday, June 28, 2022.
