Wed. NATIONAL CALL DAY Jan 23 Call your senators!

The Senate (202) 224-3121 for the Senate directory.

First, call your two Senators and tell them to reject Trump’s extreme anti-immigrant bill and instead open up the government now! There will be two votes in the Senate this week, one on Trump’s anti-immigrant bill and one on a clean continuing resolution that would fund the government through Feb. 8. We need to make sure that the Senate doesn’t pay Trump’s ransom. Tell them to:

Vote NO on Trump's racist, anti-immigrant bill.
Vote YES on a clean CR.
Then, check in with your House Representative to make sure they know you oppose Trump’s wall ransom. The House has done its job by passing funding bills and sending them over to the Senate, where McConnell has refused (until now) take any of them up. But we’re hearing House offices are getting calls from conservative groups who want Trump’s wall.

Call your House Representative and tell him/her you don’t want your taxpayer dollars going to fund Trump’s wall.

And as respectfully as I could (it so was hard to hold back telling the treasonous piece of shit how I feel about what he's done to this country the past 10 years), told him to re-open the government and pay the Federal workers. Thank god I have Dem Senators. I'll call them and show my support tomorrow.

some of the best acting I ever do. I should get an oscar. I pretend I am one of "them" so they take me seriously. My two are Dems but I usually call the red states' reps and senators. Then I brush my teeth and gargle twice.

I don’t think I was able to hide my contempt, but I will try your method next time.

I have a lot of experience. I even get a fake address in their particular district in case they ask. It works.

You should see the hundreds of gmails I get from various activist groups each week. I post the ones that are the "biggies" on DU.
