Mine are both Dems. Called them over the weekend, and this morning. Said stand strong for witnesses in this trial!

I just called Cornyn and told him to stop being a moral coward and to vote to call Bolton as a witness. Yeah, I know...Texas.

That's a record and 1 million more than when Beto ran in 2018. Hopefully Texas has a good Dem candidate for Cornyn's seat. If so, he might be at risking of losing.

I donated to her Saturday when Cornyn was whining about Schiff. She's a veteran and a fighter. Good candidate for Texas.

That is my preferred method of communication. I tried to text Cornyn's office last week to the number I had, and it didn't go through. (at first) I tried it again, and apparently it did, because I received three separate responses from his office, one letter different from the others. This tells me he is feeling the heat! I am going to try sending to his local numbers this week.

Good news: Lot of busy signals at each office before I could get through.

Bad news: He still has his moistened finger in the wind. Will decide after opening arguments conclude.

My Dad was from Gallipolis, btw. (Not really relevant but I miss him so much, I take any opportunity to mention him.)

Mon Jan 27, 2020, 02:04 PM
Jan 2020

My message included:
My name and residency in Colorado

I expect him to vote "yes" on witnesses and documents

I want to hear Bolton testify under oath

Gardner must bring enough senators on board the yes vote so it passes. No safe yes vote because it's only him and maybe Collins trying to save their seats and he knows the motion will fail anyway. That's just a McConnell set up.

Lastly, I provided my phone # and told them to have a nice day.

We definitely need everyone from Colorado to call. At this point, I would be happy if we just get them to vote to call Bolton. We only need four for that and I think that's doable. (Maybe. God, these fucking cowards depress me.)
