It took less than 10 minutes to write my message & make the calls. So I stole another DUers idea & made a suggestion.

Hello!

I read that leader Jeffries wants a strong, determined and dignified Democratic presence tonight, so here's an idea. Tonight, every democratic member of congress should dress like Zelensky. That would certainly qualify as strong, determined and dignified! It would make a unified statement to the country that the dems recognize & aren't going to stand by this shit show of a presidency.

Do Congressman Lewis proud! Stir up some good trouble!

Name, address, zip.
