DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike

Formerly @Medicare4Mike, the IL5 neighbors that protested for @repmikequigley to sign Medicare for All. Now we want him to stop taking $ from weapons companies!

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

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. https://t.co/sZv6SbkSv5

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.

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

he’s gonna be on the board of lockheed martin in 10 years time

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

we really would have had a ball on here if mike had run for mayor lmfao

[🪐grace is so tired @hotjupiter_]

u cannot be serious dude

[CODEPINK @codepink]

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?

[i praydalor my sodakeep @almondtiddies]

tweeting this after ducking and dodging @divestmike for over a year LMAO

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

elections belong to people and mike quigley belongs to lockheed martin :)

[Mike Quigley @RepMikeQuigley]

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.

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

@RepMikeQuigley ohhhh do you only like politicians to be bought when they’re bought by lockheed martin??

returning power to the people doesn’t look like taking thousands from war profiteers and ignoring all your constituents

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

LOL remember when u yelled at us for asking why you agree to have your votes bought by weapons companies? you seemed to love money in politics back then

[Mike Quigley @RepMikeQuigley]

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.

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

when is he going to block us

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

mike is kicking and screaming @RepMikeQuigley

[litquidity @litcapital]

Twitter Blue erased a few billion in market cap for Lockheed Martin

[hads. @husbandofbread]

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.

[hads. @husbandofbread]

.@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." https://t.co/PZH29ya4vx

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

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

@LockheedMartin
@Boeing
@generaldynamics
@RaytheonTech

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

we can’t believe quig yelled at one of us when he knows the kind of posters we are

[danaka @wifeoftoast]

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”

[Jon Oppenheimer @joppenflopper]

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

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

We will continue organizing. He hasn’t seen the last of us :)

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

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

[DIVEST Mike / Medicare4Mike @divestmike]

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.
