Another good idea from a FB post

Okay - Listen up people. I just had a meltdown. What are we doing complaining on FB about our crazy president?? I just called my Senators and Congressman and left a message basically saying that the President is CRAZY, mentally unstable and he needs to be removed from office. I said that everyone is pretending that he is "normal". He is claiming that millions of illegals voted in the election. He had his fit about the size of his inauguration crowd. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! HE IS NOT NORMAL! HE IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE. So... I called the White House Senate and House number 3 times. 2 times for my Senators and once for my Representative. You put in your zip code and they ask you who you want to speak to (they give you 2 options for your Senators). I really did leave them messages stating what I said above. We ALL should do this. Here is the number: 202-224-3121

I live in a state with two republican senators and my congressman is a republican. They are horrible shits, all three of them.

I do like what you said, I think I'll call just to say the president is insane.

I need to do this as well. And I think we need to do it every single day.

But we have to keep the pressure on them, or they'll say their constituents are happy with the situation. Most of us can't stand outside their offices with signs, so we need to take whatever small actions we can. Call if they'll let you through. If not, e-mail, send postcards, letters, do it every day if you can, several times a week at least.

Otherwise we'll be complicit. Be part of the solution.

If enough people from their state and district call and say the same thing - their ears will perk up - because they will sense that the American People are going against them. If you threaten not to vote for them the next time they run and if enough people say the same to them - they will take heed. They want to keep their job.

You don't have to tell them you are a Dem. You can say that you've always supported them - but if they don't do something about Trump you'll be forced not to vote for them in the future.

Please call them and express your concerns. You have to believe that we as voters are in control here.
