2. It's not hard.

We could identify a topic that we agree upon -- for example, that we support the Mueller investigation -- and use that as a foundation. Then, we could focus on one person in the House or Senate on a given day. Everyone could either e-mail or call that person's office (or do both). People could send a simple statement provided here, or make one of their own.

Perhaps it would encourage that elected official to work to impeach Trump. Or perhaps the message would be about the use of Amendment 25: Section 4.

In our e-mails or calls, we request a response, and inform the politician's office that we plan to report on their response (or lack thereof) on an internet political discussion & action site.

It might sound small in scope, but as Rubin used to say, small doors often open into large rooms.
