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!!

to vote against all of the cabinet picks as they were either ethically or intellectually challenged.

Writing letters and email is not as nearly as effective.
