Day 311:
CALL YOUR SENATORS!
If you senator voted yes on the horrific tax cut for rich oligarchs, then call them up and promise to do everything in your power to make sure this is the last term they serve in office. Tell them you will be volunteering for their opponents, giving money to their opponents and voting for their opponents.
If you are unsure about who voted for the bill here is a clue if they have an R next to their name they voted for it, if they don’t they didn’t.
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!!
