People are constantly asking me — what can I do?

Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

1. Call your representatives in Congress.

4. Absolutely.

In my opinion we missed a huge opportunity immediately after the failed coup attempt. There were a few corporations which said that they would not support any politicians involved in the coup.

There was no big public support for these corporations nor was there a big public outcry to prosecute vigorously all of those involved. Most citizens, I mean consumers, just went back to normal. The corporations just drifted back to giving money to politicians "on both sides".
We have only a few levers of power, and our financial power over some corporations should be used far more.

3. I understand the concept of a gadfly.

But really, what good does it do to email Rick Scott, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, etc?
