I write and call them all the time but,

they are bought and paid for. They are Republicans. Bill Cassidy, John Kennedy and Garrett Graves. I write all the time but they pay NO attention and vote party line. It's sickening. I try hard. It's useless. When our state, Louisiana, the most polluted state, the most uneducated state, the most crooked state doesn't listen what else is there to do?

I pray hard. I am a white, Christian, Religious LEFT Democrat and I pray our country doesn't go down the drain. I pray hard. I am retired. I have children and grandchildren who are oblivious. But I still try. And I will continue to try. For their sakes and for our sake.

May the good Lord help us all!

But my name was called to ask a question at a townhall meeting with my repub congressman. When he heard my name, (before I asked my question) he asked, “Aren’t there any republicans in this room?” That told me that my letters were getting through. 😈

Get very few responses. No one is allowed to speak for him and yet he will not speak for him.
It is like beating a 10lb sledge against a titanium wall.
I will not quit until I die or they see the light.

I do not know if prayer works. However I believe the spirit and the mind have untapped power. Power that can influence things.

I contacted them on many issues and heard back once from Cassidy, nothing from Kennedy or Graves.
