I fear Putin and Trump are building an iron curtain around the US and a few other nations.

The Iron Curtain was the name for the boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. The term symbolizes the efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and non-Soviet-controlled areas.

Trump and Putin and their buddies are isolating us. What are we if he takes away our connections with the West? I hate this and I am really getting scared now.

The single most important thing you can do is call your Congresspeople - Senators too. They are betting that people like you will lose interest and future elections will go back to Koch funded, Fox News controlled history.
Every time you call, your name goes on a list. The Congresspeople sees the numbers of the lists. They care very much about the numbers. You don't need to convince the staffer you talk to - just get your opinion on record repeatedly.

The single biggest thing we each can do is call our Congresspeople. Please persist!
