How did your Senators and Reps vote on CROmnibus? [View all]

Both of my Senators and my Representative voted NO. I wrote to all three before the vote and asked them to Vote NO. But that's not why they voted that way. They voted that way because we elected three people who would vote that way. The people in Minnesota and in CD-4 in Minnesota elected those people.

They did a great job with their vote. How did your Senators and Congressional reps do? If they voted Yes, how will you replace them in the next election they stand in?

I can vote for my own representation, but I cannot vote for yours, unless you live where I do. It's not up to me to choose your Senators and representatives. I simply can't do anything about who gets elected where you live.

Local focus is the only answer. Local focus, local participation in the entire process and local GOTV. Nothing else will give us representation that truly represents us.

Something to keep in mind for 2016 and beyond, I think. Where I am, we'll continue to elect progressives. How about where you are? Let's hear your stories.
