Contact your Senators--especially if they are Republicans--and tell them to do their job

and to also pressure McConnell to do his job.

I live in NC and am stuck with two Repub Senators. Normally, I don't bother to contact them. But I just sent both of them e-mails via their websites telling them it was time to tell McConnell to do his job and for them to do their job. I reminded them that they took an oath of office to support the Constitution, not an oath to one man. I told them it was unconscionable--and un-American-- to hold federal workers hostage, making them work for no pay. I told them they knew this was not how the system was to work. I told them most Americans do not support a wall and they know that, too.

I am really fed up with the Republican BS. I wish the air traffic controllers and TSA personnel would all just fu*king walk out.

This is all bull$hit. The Republicans are angry they lost the midterms, and this is their power grab. Fu*k em. If they don't re-open the government, they deserve whatever they get. Actions have consequences.

We should all write to our Senators and Representative. If they’re Republicans, to demand that they pass a clean budget, and if they’re Democrats, to tell them to continue to stand firm.

Probably won't help your argument, but I'm pissed off. I'm in Kentucky and people blame me for that smarmy bastard riding in Trumputin's ass.

you can contact Rubio and Scott.

It could be time to suggest that 45 isn't capable of winning a second term. And do they really want to see a repeat of the mid-terms. Frame it as a possibility for a Republican to actually show some leadership, instead of a$$kissing the orange one.
