1. Distracted by the non stop BS
2. Giving up without a fight.
OPTION #3 DO SOMETHING NOW! Stand up for yourself...we are worth it and our country is worth it!
THIS IS WAR by the GOP and I an NOT waving the white flag. If they think we will get tired and go away they are wrong. Brave women are standing up and being loud, strong, and courageous. We must do so too.
Who have you called or written in the Senate and how did
it go? I get a lot of busy signals, "leave a message", mailbox full and sometimes an actual person. This is a good sign for us. Keep doing the good work...karma will come around.
Here is a list of who to call, how to get addresses, phone numbers, a nd a link about the Tax Scam. There are scripts to read when you call as well as a list of protest events in your home zip code, and a lot of of other useful info. THANKS! Resist!
Here is my list to call and share with others as well as
A great link...RESIST! Peace.
Call all of them. All the numbers start with (202)224-****
Corker (TN) 3344
McCain (AZ) 2235
Flake (AZ) 4535
Collins ( ME)2523
Heller (NV)6244
Murkowski (AK)6665
Moran (KS)6521
Johnson(WI)5323
Young (IN)5623
Call them all. If you go to Zillow for the individual STATE you can get a local address and zip to use in case the senator's phone staffer needs validation that you are a voting constituent. It works and they NEVER check. I have done it with over 400 calls in the past year. It literally takes two minutes to Google Zillow. Your phone area code doesn't matter due to cell phones. Tell them a personal story. Also, here is a useful link to share...

(40 posts)Am doing it as of now! Called my relatives and gave them the numbers to call...I am furious that Medicare is going to cut cancer care for those of us who totally depend on it for our crucial cancer care! The Chips for children has not been funded! I hope every last Republican who votes... yes... burns in hell...but develop horrendous diseases that strip them to their bones before they die in agony and then burn in hell!

(6,930 posts)The address of a real person or a made-up one? I am not sure I understand this. I think that would be very wrong to use the address of a real person. I certainly would not someone using my address to push their political views. It seems to be dishonest at least, and fraud at worst.

(24,461 posts)The fact that we have to constantly call our elected representatives just for mere human rights or not wanting to destroy the debt/deficit proves that this isn't a Democracy - it's a hostage situation.

(16,245 posts)I'm looking into permanently leaving this country, specifically retiring to Costa Rica (or anywhere that would have me, really). Because WHEN (not if) this tax bill passes, Medicare and SS are done for, even if we toss all Republicans out. The Democrats do not have the guts to restore the cuts. They have always been spineless.
