ROGUE REGIME!
This is about our Constitution.

Wake UP Sonoma AND Sonoma County Democrats supports the call for Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty to investigate and hold the President accountable for abuses of power and violations of the rule of law.

No President is above the Constitution. Article II, Section 4 exists for moments like this. When executive power is abused and democratic institutions are put at risk, Congress must act.

Not for party.

Not for politics.

But for democracy.

History will remember who upheld the Constitution — and who didn’t.

An extremely relevant documentary for our times

What starts out as a romp turns into a dark ride through the hills and hollers of scenic West Virginia, where the only game allowed is extraction. In this award-winning political
documentary, undercover scenes expose just who pays the price for the wealth of a few under the name of patriotism and why it should matter to all of us.

Extraordinary editing and an original score drive this compelling film, priming viewers for a dynamic conversation.

Panel Discussion moderated by KSVY's Ronny Grooms to follow immediately after the film:

Panel: Co-Producers/Directors - Bay area film makers Julie Eisenberg and Babette Hogan, West Virginian activist Paul Corbit Brown, with additional guests including Janelle Kellman, environmentalist, attorney at the U.S Environmental Protection Agency and candidate for Lt. Gov. in the 2026 elections.
NOTE: Wake UP Sonoma does not endorse political candidates
