I just called Lamar Alexander's office. I got hot

Maybe I should not have shouted as the lady on the other end said I should stop doing. And she said I shouldn't use that kind of language. What kind of language you may ask? I use the word crap. So I said okay I will change the word two garbage trash. That we have a monster a traitor in the White House and Lamar Alexander needs to do something otherwise he is supporting a traitor. I hope I don't get a knock at my door asking me questions. I made no threats I simply said I want my country to be America not a Russian State Control by a murderer.

I called both my senators, Cornyn and Cruz, and demanded they vote to raise sanctions on the Russians. I also told Cornyn's office that silence means consent, because he's such a weasel.

Being soft and begging and pleading also get you nothing. Apparently diplomacy gets you nothing. It's time to shout it to the rooftops. I remember people who shout at me. Of course I am friends with people who do not but I don't want to be friends with a monster and a traitor who supports a murderer. Nothing will be done anyway by these weasels in the white house so what does it matter if I shout.

I think repukes are starting to figure out that Americans are PISSED! and will now try to cover their own asses.
I called both Ernst and grassley offices and Ernst' s spokeswoman said that Ernst didn't agree with cheeylinis statements. Of course, when I asked what she was planning on doing about it, I got nothing.

They tell us (the activist groups who plan calling as resistance) to make it personal and I usually go that route but I write my own script ahead of time since I am very passionate and emotional. I often can't even stick with my own though when I get really upset.

I know what's happening. I asked lady on the other end I said are you an American?. That if you are do you support this monster and traitor in the White House? Basically speechless maybe she will ignore me and not pass it on to the worm Lamar Alexander. But rattling their cages does something as opposed to the pleading and begging we've been having to put up with so far.

My call will be remembered because I am more passionate about my country than the weasel Lamar Alexander.

Make them cry. Make them ashamed. Keep them up at night. Whatever it takes. Our country is THAT important at least.
