1. If he doesn't escalate, Republicans and the MSM would be mean to him...
And you KNOW how much he hates that.

So, be a team player and offer up your kid for the cause!

3. Your link works.
I used it to send my statement objecting to the war in Afghanistan. I did ask for a reply; we'll see what I get.

I don't expect to hear from him, but from one of his deputies.

We shall see.

We just have to let our wishes be known.

And what better way to do that than to go to the source?

6. The problem is that most people don't think it makes any difference

So, they receive relatively few calls which I am sure they are happy to take as acquiesence.

Always call. Even if you don't think it makes a difference, do it anyway.

At worst, you will be ignored.

I would suggest calling your congressperson and Senator while they are home on holiday.

8. Probably, but you'll sleep better for doing the right thing. That's why I started
writing him about healthcare.

Tell the receptionist who answers the phone that you're Lloyd Blankfein calling from Gold Mansacks regarding "God's work" :shrug:
