Billboards

The following is a copy of an email I received from MoveOn asking for financial support of their new billboard campaign about high gas prices. I did donate the requested $9.  Then I sent them the following message:

I just donated to MoveOn’s billboard campaign about high gas prices.  While this is certainly concerning, it is my belief we need billboards everywhere with just two words: IMPEACH TRUMP.  Anything else is just whack-a-mole.  For real change, we need him out of office, tried, convicted and imprisoned.

Here’s the email from MoveOn:

Dear MoveOn member, 

We see it every day: skyrocketing gas prices. Americans are angry about them. 

And we need to make sure everyone knows who is to blame: Donald Trump and his reckless war in Iran. 

But right now, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, millions of Americans still do not blame Trump for the high cost of gas.1 And on top of that, Trump is gaslighting us, saying that gasoline prices are "not very high," and we know the MAGA social media echo chamber is going to amplify his message and spread his lie.2

That's why MoveOn is launching an aggressive and hard-hitting new ad campaign: We're placing billboards calling out Trump for raising gas prices alongside highways in regions with the highest gas costs in the country. And we're complementing our billboards with geotargeted digital ads to ensure our messages are cutting through—both in person and on our screens. 

But we need your help. Will you donate $9 today to launch and sustain our billboard and ad campaign?

While the majority of Americans know Trump is to blame, more than 1 in 5 still do not place blame for high gas prices where it belongs.3

Which means that we still have a long way to go to ensure we get the facts out and reach and educate every American about the cause of the astronomical price of gas. 

Getting the truth out is especially urgent because the right wing dominates on social media, allowing them to spread lies and disinformation, like Trump’s claim that gasoline prices are "not very high."4

A terrifying new study shows that of the 100 most-viewed X (formerly Twitter) accounts posting about politics in February 2026, 74 were conservative-leaning and only 26 were liberal-leaning.5

And that's exactly why our new ad campaign will be so impactful.

In regions with the highest cost of gas, people are paying attention, watching every dollar add up at the pump. That's the moment our campaign steps in: billboards alongside the highway and digital ads on social media feeds calling out Trump for spiking gas prices.

Are you in? If so, please, make a $$9 donation today to launch and sustain our billboard and ad campaign.

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work?Donald Trump’s authoritarian takeover intensifies every day—but history shows that authoritarian regimes crumble when just 3.5% of people rise up together in sustained resistance. That’s why MoveOn is helping mobilize millions, from massive No Kings protests to our nonstop work to get ICE out of our neighborhoods. This moment demands mass, disciplined, people-powered resistance, and MoveOn can reach, train, and organize at a scale unmatched in the progressive movement. Will you chip in to fuel this urgent and critical organizing?

Perhaps letter writing is not your “thing”.  What do you think about mailing 3 postcards per month…one each to your Senators and one to your personal Representative? Signs of Justice has a project to send 12,000,000 postcards to Congress.  There’s that 12,000,000* number again. (*This number was taken from a Harvard study that found we need to activate 3.5% of the population to affect non-violent change). The Signs of Justice campaign is called the Majority Project.  They are asking participants to address and mail the 3 postcards mentioned above on the first day of the month and to repeat this activity every month.  They have created a postcard for this purpose: Visit the Signs of Justice website for more information and/or to order or download your postcards.  https://www.signs of justice.com/ Please let me know if you are going to participate in this postcard campaign. We would like to track the number of cards sent from Indivisible DeSoto MS.

This is a letter we received to protest the outrageous school choice legislation.  Please take the time to send your letter to Speaker Jason White and please let me know you’ve taken action.  jwhite@house.ms.gov August 25, 2025   Jason White, Speaker Mississippi House of Representatives 400 High Street Jackson, MS 39201 VIA HAND DELIVERY   Dear  Speaker  White:   I write to express my disapproval  of any legislation that would  use Mississippi taxpayer dollars to fund private schools.   Among my concerns about any  prospective  “school choice” bill are the following:   ▪  Transferring taxpayer dollars from public to private schools will only reverse the educational gains reflected in the “Mississippi Miracle . ”   To argue that “school choice” would improve upon these  remarkable outcomes seems counterintuitive at best, and disingenuous at worst  ( see  https://www.ncpecoalition.org/vouc...

Letter #1:  Impeachment/Removal of the President  By KJ & BT The U.S. Constitution, in Article VI, mandates that all federal officials be bound by oath or affirmation to support our Constitution. The core of the oath of office is a pledge to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.  Donald Trump needs to be removed from office either by Impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Clearly, Trump is not mentally capable of performing the duties of the President of the United States.   There is never a wrong time to do the right thing.  The time is now. Sincerely, Letter # 2:  28th Amendment By BT The Equal Rights Amendment has been ratified by 38 states.  However, the Archivist of the United States has not published the ERA Amendment as part of the Constitution due to concerns about the extended and expired deadlines.  Please convince the Archivist to publish the 28th Amendment.   If someone ob...
