I just called my senator, Clare Mccaskill from Missouri

to thank her for voting against Scott Pruitt and to encourage her to vote no for approval of Devos and Tillerson. I told her we need her now more than ever.

I was nervous but it felt really good to do this. I was thinking of that quote about having a shaky voice but speaking out anyway.

I may start writing regular letters and sending them in the mail.

It seems like a tiny act, but I feel just a bit better and that is worth it!!

Writing letters and email is not as nearly as effective.
