Day 282:
It’s all falling apart
I love how all these asshole republicans are trying to make their own horrible records look better by pointing at Trump.
“Sir you’re covered in rotten dog shit”
“But that guy is covered in the same rotten dog shit, but he is eating it!”
They are all connected, and all taking money from shady people.
Are you going to look back on this time and wonder if you did enough? The least you can do is educate yourself and VOTE!
This is not normal, this is not ok.
There is probably someone horrible you could be voting out of office right now!

Tools of change:
Feel like this is all a bunch of bullshit? Want to do something about it?
Calling your government representative:
Call your Senator
Call your House Rep (Or use this spreadsheet)
Call your Governor
Call your Attorney General
Or try this website
Fax Congress here (free!)
You can also use 5Calls.org if you are having a hard time figuring out what to say.
Tell them in no uncertain terms that you want them to fight to stop Trump from doing these things. Tell them you will be watching them closely on how they vote, and will hold them accountable during the next election if they cave to Trump. You can also call other states congress people and threaten to donate to their opponent if they don’t do what you want.

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)
