Throughout the process of daily direct actions outside of Quigley’s office we will be asking people to donate to @ChiAbortionFund.
patriarchy & militarism are the same beast and we need to fight them simultaneously. chicagoabortionfund.salsalab…

mike really pretends to care about the people of ukraine (see his twitter header). if he really didn’t want innocent people to d*e he wouldn’t be voting constantly to prolong the war.

Quigley's constituents have been begging him to stop taking money from Lockheed Martin for over a year to no avail.
If he really wanted to get dark money out of politics, maybe he could start with his own campaign?
Elections belong to the American people, and to them only.
I'm proud to cosponsor a resolution to keep dark money out of politics and return power to the people.

This is a jawdropping read, truly.
- "That helped him change some more."
- "After that, the Saudis were better warfighters."
Why release this doc now?
When Congressmen are yelling at voters & defending their Lockheed donations, it's easy to tell. They think they're invincible.
A day after the 2022 Midterms, the US government quietly declassified notes from the 9/11 commission interview with Bush and Cheney. They discussed the infamous "shoot down" order, the "bin Laden determined to strike" memo, "The Pet Goat" story and more. interc.pt/3DX8aCr

.@wifeoftoast and @divestmike have proven exactly what the links between these companies & U.S. policies are.
When asked, Rep. Quigley himself yelled, "They give me money because I care about national defense. Because I am on the Intelligence Committee." commondreams.org/views/2022/…

Happy election day! A reminder that @RepMikeQuigley’s campaign is funded by companies that profit off of death and violence!

more details on my interaction with my congressman yesterday.
he admitted to me that he is bought by @LockheedMartin because he is on the intel committee & “cares about national defense”
A year ago we launched this campaign to get our representative @RepMikeQuigley to stop taking $$ from weapons companies.
Yesterday, for the first time, we talked to Quigley directly. It was made clear he was purposely ignoring us & he admitted he was bought. THREAD

It's insane that @RepMikeQuigley chooses to yell at his constituents instead of listening to their concerns.

When our organizer said he could still care about these things without taking their $$$ he biked away from her.
We have accepted he will not sign the pledge, and he admitted in that conversation (loudly! and rudely) that he is bought. His votes are bought by @LockheedMartin.
