Schumer: Democrats will block spending bill if it includes Homeland Security funding

[CrispyQ]

52. +1!! We should bomb him with calls! Overload his vmail!

Let him come back tomorrow to full vmail boxes in DC & NY. And then we should all call all our own reps & do the same. They should be in our contacts list. Our congressional reps actually do pay attention to the number of calls they get. Postcards too, but those are slower.

I wasn't very consistent with calls until I started weekly PT, & now I call every week in my car, after my appointment. It takes ten minutes or less to make three calls. I recycle messages, & some messages are just one liners. It doesn't matter what you say, as much as that you make the calls. Also, you almost always get vmail, rarely a live person. But in case you do...

Not sure what to say? Check out this site/app. They make it easy! They track issues & bills & have sample text for your messages/postcards.

Our vote is our voice, but our part in this democracy doesn't stop at the ballot box. We need to use our voice between elections to keep our reps on track & remind them who they work for. The last time we overloaded congressional vmail boxes was the financial crisis of 2008. Isn't saving our country just as important?

Phone in your resistance!! ☎️

Thanks for Schumer's number. I'll be calling for sure! My reps, too. I like the idea of loading their boxes over the weekend.
