11. I will call my worthless Congressman

In fact, I’ll call him every fucking day with a different support story and statistic. Get ready, DUers, flood the Congress with old-fashioned phone calls.

Unlike emails, they MUST deal with EVERY caller.

Morons, Republicans never saw this coming. They want a 1950s America? Reach out and touch them with a personal phone call. That’s who WE are—personal and genuine.
