If not, then DO IT! We have the wind in our sails so lets utilize it in our FAVOR! McConnell still wants to pass it by the end of the year but he is doing it before then. The GOP is pushing it through full of errors, in secret and no debates (McConnell thinks he controls the country). THIS IS MY COUNTRY AND I AM ENTITLED TOO! Free speech, protests, sit ins, etc. are still legal, at least they were the last time I checked. CALL CALL CALL! Tell your friends and family and use social media to GET OUT AND CALL! NOW!! It takes two whole minutes. NO EXCUSES! We are STRONG, LOUD, and PROUD!

During a nationwide phone call 2 weeks ago Cory Booker, Bernie, Indivisible, MoveOn, etc. all told us to stay strong, get rest, be healthy and than we will be able to continue and pressure them (hammer the GOP). The grass roots is making so much progress and has been for over a year. If we stay healthy and rest then we can stay focused, determined and continue the fight and we will win.

I go so far as to scope out judgeships because their leaning is not usually up front and kinda obscured.
My family served in WWII and dad saw action in the Philippines. I'll be dammmed if I sit on my laurels and watch my country go to hellll.
My maternal grandfather knelt down, kissed the ground and proclaimed, "God bless America!" when he disembarked at Castle Garden after leaving Czechoslovakia. I do it for my ancestors, my dad and mom, all my sisters and brothers in humanity.

Our grassroots movement is evidence of resulting success. That's the ticket to ride.
Fight the fight. Rock on!

(12,321 posts)He is one of the architects of the Tax Scam. IMHO, it's not fair for you to ask the question "Are you a good DEM?" if someone lives in a state where there is no chance of changing their Senator's mind.
I did it anyhow, but no one here gets to decide if I'm a "good Democrat" or not.
Thanks for listening.

(51,605 posts)Your call may seem worthless but you are wrong. The calls DO count and they work too. Indivisible said that the reps' offices are keeping track. Even if you live in a blue state, call your reps to encourage and thank them...everyone needs a pat on the back and it helps. Thank you for taking the time and energy to do this. I still do think you are a good Dem by the way.

(33,580 posts)the vast majority of voters are against this.
Of course they do, it's their rich donors who want it and that is all that matters.

(12,631 posts)it's the voters. They need a reminder of that truism every so often.
And yes, I called both McCain and Flake today and spoke to an actual person at one, and left a detailed message asking for a call-back at the other (I don't really expect the call-back). I left personalized e-mail messages yesterday and Sunday. And will do so again tomorrow.

(51,605 posts)They don't like being on the evening news showing the police carrying the old and sick away from their offices. Also, right now they need a simple majority and not the 60 votes which they know they will not get in Jan. 2018. This is a race and we WILL WIN! KEEP up the fantastic efforts and stay strong. RESIST!

(16,168 posts)but marco seems to be having a hard time with office staff. Ya gotta leave a voice mail (which I did) instead of talking to a livie.
BigmanPigman
(51,605 posts)that they ARE getting the messages. You just have to say whether or not you favor it (they keep tallies) and keep their mailboxes full...this is perfect and what we want to hear! PERFECT! THANK YOU! Spread the word and use social media too. That is how we win. I want to celebrate this scam getting buried forever!
