Well put, very well put.

If you get down, call your senators and Representative a few more times. Tell them this is a country of immigrants. That you believe in American values. In the Statue of Liberty as a signal of welcome. In Emma Lazarus' characterization of America.

Volunteer for Majority 54. Donate to the Progressive Turnout Project. Or the ACLU. Join ACLU's People Power group. Action helps to make you feel better.
