Day 307:

Things To Call Your Senator About Today

Tell them to vote NO on the disastrous tax cut bill, make sure to mention that if they do vote for it you will not be voting for them.

Tell them to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to stop the FCC from destroying net neutrality. Again mention that if they don’t you wont be voting for them.

Think like a Utopian, Fight like a Whirlwind.

Go to a town hall and talk to your congress person in person:

Check when the next town hall is here

Monitor your congressperson:

Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.

See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.

Elections!

Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)
