PS...

I noticed today cornyn actually used the word "democratic" instead of sneering "democrat" (member, party) TWICE. It was stunning.. in all the years I've heard/seen him, he's NEVER said that.

1 thing that happened..

Fri pm, he tweeted an arrogant reply to Eric Holder, & sparked a big ole backlash.
There was a little poll, then, 97percent support for Holder AND Mueller's investigations. 97percent from the 1st hr, & continued 97percent for 24 hrs, nearly 15,000 people.. It was TRULY epic!
Not only is cornyn DESPISED *in TEXAS!!* but GREAT support for Team Mueller.

Some reSources for You

I understand what You're dealing with. Before You jump into the recovery process, check out some of these sites & see if You can get some Volunteer help & donations. Don't be too proud to ask for help, or think You can do it ALL YourSelf.

Austin Common Ground, in & around Houston, are doing amazing Work. They have great information & reSources for recovery, please look at them before You get started.
(I witnessed Common Ground in NOLA post Katrina, they're effective & efficient, no waste or nonsense. Anyone looking to donate or volunteer, I highly recommend Common Ground!)
BASH (Bayou Street Medics)
Another wonderful group doing Harvey recovery.
Again, I really recommend, they have great reSources YOU might use.

In Florida :
MADRelief (Mutual Aid Disaster Relief) If You want to pm me Your contact info, I will get a message to them, or You can call them.

Also, look into:
Food Not Bombs
&
Build Autonomy
Best Wishes & Blessings to YOU! 💖

Congress needs US to flood local offices

With calls, emails, VISITS, if possible, while they are on "vacation". THEY need our encouragement & insistence, D or r, they NEED to be able to report to their colleagues that voters back home DEMAND a few things :
They have the responsibility to be the check & balance on executive branch.
They must put the PEOPLE, the US, the Constitution, before party or $.
They MUST know we hold them accountable, & expect them to fulfill the duties of the Sacred OATH they each swore to.
They have to know that if they refuse to defend US, & the Constitution, that WE accept that inaction as proof of their own collusion in the crimes & treason of the trump-rusky-republiker mob.
They have to do everything legally possible to curb the Trump insanity.
I say start the process of the 25th Amendment, as well as Impeachment, which is already on paper in the House.
Please make Your calls.

AGREE.

I feel it is vitally important for US to contact/visit local offices of our elected employees, D or R, & express EXACTLY that. They have the responsibility, duty, & means to restrain trump.
If they FAIL in this, their complicity is proven in the trump-rusky-republiker cabal, & WILL be held accountable.
Thank You for this!

August 11, 2017

YES.

Pls call Your elected employees: while THEY are on vacation, call/visit local offices & express Your thoughts. They need to be reminded they are the check & balance on executive branch, they have a Sacred DUTY to defend the US & Constitution;
the Mueller investigations must continue & elected officials fulfill their Constitutional obligations. Those who do NOT are not only failing as Patriots, but show they are complicit in the trump-rusky-republiker mob.
Thank You for Your post!

Ugh. Twitter guidance pleeeeez

I'm new on the twitter machine, been bumbling around on there nearly a week.
Had some fun, learned a lot, had nearly 1000 followers (?), what I really enJOYed is following folks *I* admire/respect/LOVE ..
somehow, I logged out, & can't get back on. Can't find my original username or password, tried to start a new account, & it's using my real life name. Tried changing it, hiding it, something, now it's telling me I have tried too many times, try again later.
Like the twitter machine is frustrated with ME! ?!
he'p me, summmbuddy!
