ariadne0614's JournalToday it's the Senate's turn to vote on 06Jan accountability.
Last night I attended another Public Citizen virtual town hall on the fierce urgency of exerting public pressure THIS MORNING. Just as I did before the recent House vote, I committed to making the call, and asking two friends to do the same. Once again, I’m enlisting the aid of the DU community.
Here’s the email I got from Public Citizen this morning. It includes a phone number that’s fast, easy, and records the number of calls. The House vote inspired over 1,000 calls through this system. Maybe they contributed to the fact that 35 Republicans voted in favor of the commission.
“Thank you so much for attending the Town Hall last night!!
PLEASE call your Senators ahead of the vote today: 877-406-6303
If you can get friends and family to do so as well - that is SO helpful!!
Thank you

In case you want accountability for the treasonous 06Jan attack on our Capitol--
Last night, along with 600+ fellow citizens on Zoom, and 100s more on FB, I attended a "Not Above the Law" virtual town hall meeting hosted by Public Citizen. It felt good to be in the company of others who share my anger and fierce desire to see accountability.
At the end, they issued a call to action, asking us to contact our representatives FIRST THING THIS MORNING, and urge them to vote yes on the bill to set up a bipartisan commission to investigate the attack. They asked each of us to invite two friends to do the same. I'm hoping there are at least two DU members who will join me.
Although I would personally prefer an investigation by an independent, empowered third party, this is at least a start. If enough of us are demanding answers and accountability, it will be harder for the reThugs to continue trying to sweep it under the rug. At the very least, it feels good to join forces with a large group of like-minded people with a need to DO SOMETHING!
The phone # is 1-877-406-6303. They will provide a short script and connect you with your Congressional representative. THE VOTE IS TODAY! Sincere thanks for your consideration.
To satisfy my own curiosity, I'm including my very first poll.
