I tried calling his office this morning but it was impossible to get through. I did send him an email. I’m sure he has gotten the message that his constituents are angry. He definitely has to go.

Thanks, I also tried calling Schumer this morning and couldn’t get through so I sent a message through his online form that I have been a long time supporter of his, but if he votes Yes on the GOP bill. I will never support him again. Please vote NO on cloture and the Republican spending bill!
He needs to go NOW, what a TRAITOR! Weak Chuckie has betrayed his own party. Watch out because it looks like Gavin Newsome is caving to their rhetoric also.
Schumer is not a traitor. He prevented a shutdown because with a shutdown, Trump would close for good all the agencies he doesn't like and destroy them and fire the judges that don't rule his way. That would make things much worse.
It was my understanding that this budget severely or completely defunds many agencies. Maybe I am missing something:
"Trump would close for good all agencies he does not like."
The president does not have the power to close agencies, right? That's a power of the legislature. Why should Democrats help them defend and cripple the agencies giving it the appearance of bipartisanship? Can you walk me through this logic?
" And fire the judges that don't rule his way"
I am having trouble seeing the connection between passing a CR and firing judges. What's the connection between Trump's ability to fire judges and the budget: could you elaborate?
At this point, I have signed so many petitions and written so many letters, I need to see evidence by our elected officials that our opinions and daily needs matters. It's very disheartening, yet I wake up each day ready to join the resistance again. We cannot give up. Giving up is not an option.
It seems that all they can and will do is ask you for money. We see nothing in terms of action, standing up for democracy or the people. Lately it is just talk, and talk is cheap.
I’m agree with you somewhat, however, I will continue to sign petitions and send emails and make calls, while I watch carefully to see who is taking action. Those that are not taking action will not get anything more from me. Those that I did not support before, but who I see taking action now, will be put on my contribution list.
If you've been paying attention over the years, you know that they act like they're paying no attention -- until their staff and/or their top donors get to them and say it's getting serious so PAY ATTENTION. So keep trying.
P.S. Signing petitions, unless they're nomination papers, is pretty much useless. Most of them are fundraising ploys.
Except being a Canadian citizen as well as an American I signed the Canadian petition that is wanting to take away Musk's Canadian citizenship. When I signed it there was over 670,000 signatures. I am sure it is well over 1 million by now. I know the Canadian parliament will take a serious look at the petition.
Schumer was actually right to do this. IMAGINE if the gov was entirely shut down right now. They would have accelerated their authoritarian grab, dems blames for shutting down the gov, everyone fired, no Repubs able to vote against (finally) the tariffs. Let them own this CR
This is why we can't miss the forest for the trees. And yes OF COURSE the CR is horrible, but we need to be strategic for the moment we are in. Having closed the gov right now would have accelerated the authoritarian takeover. I work in healthcare so trust me, the CR is HORRIFIC. The alternative is a literal nightmare and a good way for them to start stage 2 of the authoritarian insanity. SLOW IT DOWN HOWEVER YOU CAN. They will screw up no matter what. Look at the economy and all the CR pushback. DONT hand them a gift by closing the gov. WE NEED TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THEM BEFORE it gets worse. AT LEASE Repubs in the house now have some pressure.

Same here!! Couldn’t get through

Trump cannot fire federal judges. That would be illegal and I am sure the judges would not let him do that.

Never give up!

That's right. I blocked all of their begging months back . They're weak and useless.
Together we stand, united we will not cave.

I emailed him twice and called my senators today. That means something.
I tried as well contacting Schumer and to 2 Senators here in Arizona and all lines were filled up...could not even leave a message.
I finally got through after about fifteen tries. Of course, it didn’t do a bit of good but I stated my opinion.
I left a message at the NYC office.
Can you post his email please
I called him this morning and got his voicemail. I left a very clear message of what I think about him.

Thank goodness. Where is Nancy P when you need her?
Pelosi released a stark warning to the Senate Dems earlier today.
