In his address to Congress, President Trump ignored the concerns of working people and boasted about his billionaire-run government. In a response, Bernie Sanders says while the fight for a progressive future may feel hopeless, “despair is not an option.”
Call your representative and both of your senators and let them know you expect their support of this legislation. Better yet, write. On paper. Longhand. It’s harder to ignore when you communicate like a boomer.
If you live in a red state and you think your legislators won’t listen to you because of your political affiliation, or if you live in a blue state but your legislators won’t listen because they are the sort of corpo nitwits who just voted with republicans to censure Al Green, remember: you can lie to them and pretend to be a member of a cohort they give a shit about.
Pretend to be a republican who is considering voting for democrats because of your support for this one piece of legislation.
They have no qualms about lying to you. Lie your ass off. They deserve at least that level of disrespect.
