A tweet on Twitter:
Fax things to Paul Ryan
Fax: (202) 225-3393
The result: A few thousand have read the tweet. Many are faxing, and Ryan's machine seems to be overwhelmed with faxes. Getting through, but takes awhile.
Don't you love democracy? Resist.

(34,661 posts)he became a Congress Person. The Guy is a hard case,if you don't agree with his Politics,you are the face of his position. He is a John Bircher/Ayn Ryan beliefs follower,and as such,has been groomed by the Koch's as a up and rising star. Ryan's goal in still the White House.

(31,235 posts)to quash demonstrations. It takes a special kind of gall, especially after the Tea Party. Does anyone remember the armed gun humpers, marching up and down in front of the WH, while Pres Obama & his family were inside? If anyone had a reason to legislate against protests, it was John Lewis, after being spat on by wild-eyed, crazy white folk who didn't want poor folk to get access to healthcare.
Their new poutrage doesn't impress me in the least. I hope Ryan's phone never stops ringing.

Better off calling if that works.

(34,136 posts)It's easy - most word processing program has a template for printing cards. If you can't find one in Word, download and install the free Avery Wizard. Or download the template for Word: http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Templates-%26-Software/Templates/Cards/Postcards/Postcard-_--Wide-4-per-sheet_Microsoft-Word.htm
You can buy the blank postcards from any office supply store. They come four to the page and you can print a stack with the mailing address on one side and print your message on the other side.
Any meme that fits the message would be fine - or get free clipart and add your own message. To save on ink, line drawings would be better than photos.
If each page of cards is different that will catch their eye better than thousands of identical cards. Plus, the blanks are cheaper than pre-printed cards.
You could also print on plain card stock, but then you'd have to cut them apart. The pre-perforated cards are easy to break apart and are already sized.

(20,818 posts)moron Drumpf is and how dangerous he is, but he and his cohorts are using Drumpf to finally push through the shit he's been trying to enact for years, like destruction/privatization of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, draconian immigration policies, etc., etc. Once they've accomplished that, then they'll get rid of Drumpf. But he fits their purposes just fine right now, the country be damned. All they care about is their soulless Randian ideology, and maintaining and abusing power, period.

(17,204 posts)... Mr Pence would serve equally well as a rubber-stamp. Thus, there must be something that makes Mr Trump appealing. Possibly, he is meant to serve as a fall guy in the near future.

not fooled
(5,801 posts)do his voters in WI keep re-electing him??? Don't they understand his goals? Don't they value their SS & Medicare?
My guess is they fall for his smarmy demeanor and don't really understand his agenda. Because they are naive dupes who keep voting for this guy, the rest of the country is endangered.
I hope that now his real self is being exposed, he loses next time. Of course, WI voters did return lil Snotty, twice, so who knows?

(27,813 posts)Every time someone says Bush wasn't so bad, I remind them about the SCOTUS that just tore up the Voting Rights Act. Bush created this monster with his horrible Supreme Court picks.
I am so troubled to see Wisconsin go in the direction it has under the current admin. I used to live there once upon a time, and I marched in the street in protests there and we were able to make ourselves heard, and for a while we did vote good people into office and it was a pretty cool place for a time. I moved away and I don't know how it all go so messed up. But that was decades ago, too.
And W screwed me out of the second half of my life which I had just completed a ten year investment in making a complete career shift. I don't want to get started, it makes me go places that are best left in the past, except to remember where I saw this picture before and know what's wrong with it this time around.

(894 posts)If the guy can shut down his phone lines because he doesn't like the feedback.
Flood all his systems with messages, fax, phone, email, FB.
But, unless you are in his voting area, it's not going to matter.
If you are in his voting area, start collecting recall signatures. Flush these turds out of the system, once and for all.
