It's time.

There's no use for me to try to contact my MAGAt Rep, one Darrin Lahood (MAGAt-16/Il).
He's on milk cartons around here.
Maybe somebody will be able to contact their REP and get this ball rolling!

and I think the Democratic House members might help her out this time....

and Speaker Johnson ought to apply the "work requirements to HIMSELF"
that he helped force onto poor people in 'the big beautiful abortion bill'.....


THAT motherfucker is STILL GETTING PAID
while he keeps the HOUSE closed,
while he beats off to pedophile porn on Vance's couch....

(I LOVE that line which I came up with,
that's why I keep repeating it!)

I sent the following message (via e-mail and phone call) 3 days ago to my Republican congressman. Of course, I don't expect it to make much difference. I've also suggested that all House members NOT be paid (and money clawed back, if necessary) for all the days they were MIA.

Good morning Congressman Pedo Protector,
Day #33 of the Trump/Epstein shutdown. I’m urging you to pressure Squeaker Johnson to swear in duly elected Adelita Grijalva of Arizona to the House of Representatives. Johnson has sworn in other new members during pro forma sessions. His excuses are just blatant lies to protect Trump from the release of the Epstein files. Residents in Grijalva’s district currently have no representation despite doing their duty to elect her. I would also suggest that you offer up to your fellow House members a motion to vacate, initiating a vote to remove an incompetent and sycophantic leader from his position. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

La Hood is who we are stuck with also after many attempts to communicate with this pompas ass. Our first email got through with no reply but, evedently his staff didn't like our opinion since then I believe either we've been blocked or they just shut down all ties with constituents.

Supposedly he has an office in my town. The door is always locked and none of us have ever seen anybody in there. Wonder what he's doing with the $ he gets to hire people to work in that office.
