Day after Women's March changed the game. "Now what?" you ask? THIS!

This is from Michael Moore's speech: Call your senators and tell them not to approve Betsy DeVos or Scott Pruitt. Call them at 202-225-3121.

Call them NOW and then call them EVERY DAY! You are their new best friend. For now it is about DeVos and Pruitt. After that it will be about something else, but we can be sure that EVERY DAY there will be a significant issue.

It worked when they tried to dissolve the ethics committee. They are afraid of us. Use it.

And yes, I agree with all who will say that Michael Moore's comments about the Democratic Party failing us were misplaced in that speech. We will give him hell about that when we have a minute that we can spare from the work of keeping Republicans from killing us all, won't we?

But for now, CALL! 202-225-3121.

the important thing is to follow through.

https://www.womensmarch.com/100 is important. So is http://www.indivisibleguide.com/

Anything we can do, especially in red districts to boost Dem/progressive power, is a plus.
