And so then we do nothing?

Because of some act that MIGHT happen SOMETIME in the future.

And so we just let this go?

And mine!

Bob does that robe trick with my husband every morning!

Makes me think of that proverbial pot in which the heat is very slowly turned up...

It’s so gradual that the living creature in the water in that pot doesn’t notice and doesn’t realize what’s happening. Until the water has slowly reached boiling stage, and the live creature ultimately dies.

Is March 25th 2021, in Georgia, the day American democracy died? Boiled in that pot while it didn’t even notice?

"America's Finest..."

Man, they’re two of a kind.

Real paragons...

I have Wyden and Merkley. I know they're on this. But I don't mind reminding them anyway!

They need to know LOTS of us have their backs.

Do you want your Dems feeling like they're walking a tightrope with a nice big, wide, roomy, well-reinforced, deeply-cushioned walkway directly underneath? Or do you want that tightrope stretched out over thin air, across the Grand Canyon?

Destabilize the enemy. If they start hearing from an avalanche of angry callers pushing back,

it may not change their vote, but they won't get much sleep. And it may drive them to reach for the Maalox bottle every morning when they wake up. Might even make 'em think twice about staying in their jobs. Life's a lot more fun when you aren't under all that damn pressure all the time.

But your Dems can use the positive feedback to add calcium to their backbones.

We can't have them wilting on this!

Your Senators STILL need to hear from you! Make some noise ANYWAY!!!

Whether they're D's or R's.

D's need to know the momentum is building FOR them. R's need to know the momentum is building AGAINST them, and AGAINST this.

Yes. Daily, if you can. UNRELENTING.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
