7. Honestly people? Your attitudes piss me right the fuck off.

So you won't try because it won't do any good, which is exactly the same thing you accuse your congresspeople of doing - not even bothering to try.

Send a letter to Pelosi, then. Send one to Schumer. DO SOMETHING. Wake up, the house is on fire, man.

My senators and my rep are all - thankfully - Democrats. It NEVER stops me from telling them what I expect from them even though I know we're on the same page. They work for me, dammit, and they need to be reminded that they work for me. Additionally, when they do good things, I call their offices to say thank you.

Do you know that every call, every email gets logged?

Why is it so hard to do this? It's a phone call. It's an email. But you'd rather sit and complain. And then when it all falls apart, you complain some more. Meanwhile, you never said a peep to the people who can do something.

THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT, PEOPLE. Participating in YOUR government. They work for YOU. Remind them.
