CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES RIGHT NOW! Tell them, D or R, that you expect to see their asses in chairs

on the news programs unequivocally and loudly speaking out against the Nazis in Charlottesville and Trump(R)'s racism. Tell them that you want to see tweets from them, you want to see ads from them, you want to SEE THEM denounce ALL of this without any weasel words.

Tell them that their visibility on this issue will be a deciding factor in your vote for them and you will not forget.

CALL NOW!

I'm even surprised at the quiet of the Democrats on this. They should be deafening and they're not. Squinch Aug 2017 #8

people see them and know who they are.

Thank you for calling, even though, I understand, it feels useless. It is not useless.

and you can have a fax automatically sent to both your senators and your rep in Congress (also your governor as well)

you can type in what you want to say in the fax - I'd keep it no longer than two tweets - 280 characters. I've tried a few longer messages in the past and it seems to come out discombobulated

That's Resist without the quotes around it
