Manchin & Sinema - Comment Sent

[Desert_Leslie]

7. True, but --

I agree that Manchin won't pay attention to my comment -- I'm not a constituent of his.

But I forwarded my comment to Senator Sinema with this preamble:

"Senator Sinema, I am a registered democrat and your constituent. I knocked on 500 doors in your 2018 campaign. I know that you work alongside Senator Manchin and know him well. I am asking you to use any kernel of influence you have with Senator Manchin to get him to change his 'no' vote on Build Back Better to 'yes.'"

Now, will this do anything at all to change this situation? No. But it beats doing absolutely nothing. Anything beats nothing.

I introduced Senator Sinema twice at local Democratic field offices during the GOTV push. I opened my introductions with the following words from Margaret Mead. It was true when Margaret Mead said it, and it's true today ... as I have to keep telling myself:

A famous woman once said: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
