I've written to my Repuke senator (twice) and congressman. I wrote to my governor twice.

This morning I wrote an angry letter to the New York Times criticizing the lack of seriousness of their coverage and making many points about why I think they should drop any pretense of "neutrality" and treat this like a life or death situation for our country.

There are some online petitions to sign, including one started by Daily Kos and sponsored by some important organizations.

I've written to Speaker Pelosi three times. She's easy to contact.

People laughed (probably rightly so) but I wrote an appeal to Jeff Bezos to get involved in the war against the USPS.

Anything I can think of to do I'm doing, and constantly looking for new or better ideas.
