Just sent my daily messages to our 'senators'

Email from their contact forms and calls to both of their full voicemails.

Does anyone actually believe that either of them even give a single fuck what their constituents think?

I'm so frustrated with the whole thing. I am finally losing hope that our nation can be saved.

and Earnst (yeah, Senator CutYerNutsOff) are mine.

I'm surprised at how this has taken me back to being a helpless little girl being forced to apologize to my rapist (who was also my father).

I just hope I am making some staffer uncomfortable anymore.

ETA - We'd like to think that the senator receives some synopsis of our calls as we make good logical arguments, but they don't. There may be some kind of a scorecard of "For" and "Against" and all of your thought and screwing the guts to call is reduced to a check on a page.

I have no delusions that either Grass or Ernst give one little crap what I think.
