I taught this to Georgia 6th last month and they loved it. Chant at protests and to make noise.

Add your own-We will update periodically
We have visited nearly 200 indivisible groups and believe half need to improve how they communicate and the mechanism by which members are kept informed.
Let us first start by stating the best medium to maintain and grow a strong organization. If you have not already done so, you need to create a group page on Facebook. Or find another social media outlets that permits consistent two-way communication that Facebook group pages allow. Many groups have created excellent websites that do not permit two-way communications within the group. Others, have created Facebook pages that do not permit communication for members or those who have liked the page. Even if you have created a page, convert it to a group at the earliest possible date.
The other thing that I personally find very obtrusive is the requirement to have all posts be approved prior to posting. Evaluate membership upfront by creating a closed group. The indivisible movement is not necessarily centered on converting people from the other party and therefore only individuals interested in resisting the current political agenda should be brought and permitted to participate within the group. Once these have been screened by group administrators and moderators, I do not see a need to screen and approve all posts. Prior approval before posting negates the ability of members to engage in a conversation in the moment. Aside from that, if you have been permitted membership in a group, it is simply irritating waiting to have a post approved. Be all inclusive.
Do not be a hog and only appoint one administrator. Some of the best pages have as many as six administrators, and several moderators that monitor the group throughout the day. Establish a chief administrator that gives each of the other administrators an area of concern or a specific task. Some of the best pages assign an administrator to track all of the votes by Senators and the Congressional district representative associated with the group. Below is a short list of the duties you can assign to an administrator or moderator.
To reiterate, keep the elegant websites, Twitter accounts and Facebook pages, but creating a Facebook group page is essential to reaching the groups highest potential possible.
Lets Resist Trump- For he is “The Liar King.”

This document can be utilized in addressing your federal representatives regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). You can also use the document to forward to your Congressman or Sen. to ask whether all the provisions will exist in the replacement plan. Not every section of the act is included below as some are strictly for administrative or ministerial purposes. You should understand that every American that has health care coverage is impacted by all the provisions affecting healthcare services in the ACA. As a result, eliminating any of the health care provisions, such as preventative health services would affect more than 300 million Americans.
We should note that most of the time in the media you hear comments about the 20+ million people who currently have insurance because of the ACA possibly losing coverage. You may also recall hearing comments by Republicans indicating they will keep provisions such as leaving children on their parents plan until age 26 and maintaining coverage for pre-existing conditions. But there are some provisions rarely discussed by the media and at Town hall meetings that affect every American with health insurance coverage. These include provisions for preventative health services and no differentiation between men and women for premium cost. Prior to implementation of the ACA women were charged more than men for premiums.
Sec. 2711. No lifetime or annual limits. Prohibits all plans from rescinding coverage except in instances of fraud or misrepresentation.
Sec. 2713. Coverage of preventative health services. Requires all plans to cover preventative services and immunizations recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the CDC, and certain child preventive services recommended by the Human Resources and Services Administration, without any cost – sharing.
These preventative services were built in to the ACC and are covered by plan premiums. Prior to the establishment of the ACA, these services were not included in a typical plan.
Sec. 2714. Extension of dependent coverage. Requires all plans offering dependent coverage to allow unmarried individuals until age 26 to remain on their parents health insurance.
Sec. 2716. Prohibition of discrimination based on salary. Employers that provide health coverage will be prohibited from limiting eligibility for coverage based on the wages or salaries of full-time employees.
Prior to the ACA, some employers required a minimum salary level in order to participate in healthcare coverage.
Sec. 2718. Breaking down the cost of health care coverage. Health insurance companies will be required to report publicly the percent of total premium revenue that is expected on clinical services, and quality rather than administrative costs. Health insurance companies will be required to refund each enrollee by the amount by which premium revenue extended by healthcare insurer for non-claims costs exceeds 20% in a group market and 25% in the individual market. The requirement to provide a refund expires on December 31, but the requirement to report percentages continues.
Sec. 2702. Guaranteed availability of coverage. Each health insurance issuer must accept every employer and individual in the state that applies for coverage, permitting and he will and special open enrollment periods for those with qualifying lifetime events.
Sec. 2703. Guaranteed renewability of coverage. Requires guaranteed renewability of coverage regardless of health status, utilization of health services or any other related factor.
Sec. 2704. Prohibition of pre-existing condition exclusions or other discrimination based on health status. No group health plan or insurer offering group or individual coverage may impose any pre-existing condition exclusion or discriminate against those who have been sick in the past.
Sec. 2708. Prohibition on excessive waiting periods. Prohibits any waiting periods for group or individual coverage which exceed 90 days.
