Just called my entire Congressional delegation in DC

to express my deep concern after hearing tRumps comments and Barr’s testimony this morning that we are watching live in real time an ongoing coup of the US Government that Rs intend to make permanent.

I expressed my support to each of them and assurance that I would have their back. But also expressed my concern that I am not hearing the alarm being sounded by Democrats in Congress at a time when our nation is at dire risk.

I hope others will take the time to do the same. They need to hear both our deep concern and assurances that we have their back.

Congressma’s office thanked me for calling and especially expressing my support and faith in the congressman. She encouraged me to call my Senators and do the same and to keep on calling back. She said they need to hear our concerns about this and OUR SUPPORT.

Of what his Constuents say. And I honestly think Portman is a good American. He voted no in that last vote. Did not back Trump.

I'm fortunate to live in Connecticut with Senator Murphy, Senator Blumenthal and my congressman Jim Himes.
Their numbers are all on speed dial. Will contact their offices today.

need to demand a sense of urgency from our Democratic officials. They are still playing within the traditional process and timeframes, meanwhile tRump and his thugs are openly defying the law and conducting illegal actions. The system we all have had so much faith in is breaking/has broken in real time before our eyes.

Our Democratic officials need to hear this from us and know that we all have their backs. Our nation, our Constitution, our democracy are at greater risk than at any time in our lifetimes.

If we don’t act effectively and with urgency soon, I’m afraid we will be “frogs in a slow boil” as an OP a free days back suggested.

leadership we've had forever? Good people, honorable people, loyal people, but not up to the challenges of today's media
world. I say that with all due respect...but it's high time to get the new big guns out...(p.s. know I am in a tiny minority, I don't care)
