Welcome!
FactPower.org is a resource developed by American Resistance activists for other Resistance activists. Here you will find information on current bills and issues to help you with lobbying, letter writing, town halls, and phone calling campaigns. The driving motivation behind this resource is that one cannot fight for an issue without fully understanding it. Our hope is to equip our activists with the knowledge, talking points, and discussion angles they need to rebut the pithy platitudes of GOP lawmakers and to expose the weakenesses of their positions. We also provide printable drop information to share with lawmakers. These issues are often complex, and events can unfold rapidly. We try our best to stay current, but we depend on all of YOU to CONTACT US if there's something we don't know or if some point needs correcting. We do our best to be current and accurate, but activists are urged to confirm our information for themselves. We cannot bear responsibility for errors or omissions in our information or any consequences of its use or misuse. Calls to Action:
