MAGA Senator who tried to deliver fake electors to Pence. He would just smile and nod and DO NOTHING! We need a better response than lawsuits and calling to a volunteer.

There is! Tomorrow at 5 pm, get to DC for the treasury protest. Every American citizen needs to call congress and let them know were are watching. NOBODY calls congress to out them on notice, except for a few activists on a regular basis. You cannot have that attitude or belief, that’s how authoritarianism wins. Are you going to allow them to win?

Sadly, not feasible for me to get to DC but I will call in. I am not against calling or writing , but when Ron Johnson is one of your Senators, it’s been fruitless so far. But yes, have to try.

I understand, I can’t get to DC either; I’m in NY and in grad school. You call every single day, several times a day. They need to know they work for the people and are officially on notice. We are in this together 💐

We are opposite ends of the spectrum. I am 73 and in Wisconsin. But you are right and I will call and at least bother him.

You have to be a thorn in their sides and be ok doing so. America is losing in this world. We are a third world country. Other countries are decades ahead of the game. We have to fight the fascism and oppression.

Thank you and your wisdom is beyond many of your peers. My parents were both in the Army in WWII, thus I realize the threat.

I just used them to call my 2 senators and my rep. It was super easy and I was able to get a "human" in 2 out of the 3 calls. I called their DC offices. I encourage everyone to do this. 5 Calls made it a bit easier with a "suggested" script.

I'm 71 with cancer we are in control Catherine. Let them know I'm in California and in a wheelchair. I may not be able to march but I can roll. Call your family friends and neighbor's tell them what they can do. Call everyday 100 times if you have to. This is our time to make our nation great not some butthead.

My understanding is that there will be a rally in all 50 states at the capitals at the same time if that helps anyone.

Vannase's avatar

That is right but don't make it a march just once make it once a month push his trash back on him. Make it peaceful just like Martian did in the 60s. It is time us older folks show the younger ones how it is done.

When is that rally??? What are the days and times???

Mainstream media is not reporting the protests......

MTN needs to be on the streets ASAP and start recordiing these actions.......gotta do this fast.

Cell phone video must be everywhere!!! Put it on MTN now.

This is where the coalition of pro-democracy sites needs to be working together..........

The time of waffling has long passed.

I'm calling too! But completely agree, here in god awful Tennessee we have Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty (UGH) but I WILL call! I also have gotten on a first-name basis with my rep's office in DC, Steve Cohen, and they've been really good, even calling me back with more information about whatever's been happening. I want to protest, but for now have to wait until something happens in Memphis. We're doing this together though, from whatever place we are!

I can go ahead and contact Barraso, Loomis and Hageman but it's certainly not like they're going to care. Any state who would oust Liz Cheney over attempting to save Democracy is way too far down the rabbit hole.

I have Grassley and Ernst. Grassley is senile and rabidly behind Trump. We already saw how easily Ernst folded. I still write but get back form letters full of bs thanking me for being a faithful follower and asking for donations. Hell will freeze before I give either of them a penny.

When I read Ron's "Today in Politics" and he mentions a specific Senator, I reach out to them and either thank them for letting their voice be heard, or I ask why they aren't doing more to stop the destruction of our country. I've probably emailed 5 Senators outside of my state. Not many but at least I feel like I'm doing something to help.
