Fight back against Trump firings, freezings and cutbacks
Maintain democracy. Ask every senator or Congress person who professes to support lower prices to prove it by compelling release of congressionally authorized Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) direct payments designed to reduce electricity costs.
How? By introducing or cosponsoring a recission bill or impoundment resolution as defined in USC 2, Ch.17B, section 682(3) and permitted in section 688 for violations of sections 683 and 684. Direct payments take away the unfair tax advantage energy monopolies have over churches, schools, municipal, county, and tribal governments, homeowners associations, other nonprofits, and rural electric cooperatives and municipal electric systems who want to install solar panels with battery backup to take advantage of no-fuel cost electricity.
Urge use as well of this Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to curb the many Trump, OMB Director, Agency head, or other government employee (Musk) unlawful firings, freezings and cutbacks. Section 684(b) permits spending deferral only: “(1) to provide for contingencies; (2) to achieve savings made possible by or through changes in requirements or greater efficiency of operations; or (3) as specifically provided by law.” Under section 683, Congress gets 45 days to act on a proposed rescission after proper notice, which mostly has not been given.

Respond to food program cuts by donating
Greeley’s children deserve to eat. I think we can all agree on that. I just read that a federal program that pays local farmers to grow food for local schools has been cut; Colorado’s cut is $7.5 million. What a shame that a win-win program like that has been cut. I guess that is some of the “pain” the world’s richest man said the people will have to endure.
The next time you open your refrigerator and try to decide what to eat, think about the children with empty refrigerators due to cuts such as these. Think about the pain of an empty stomach. Volunteer at the Weld Food Bank or donate if you can. It’s getting dark out there.
