Current Situation: President-Elect rotted pumpkin Trump has been pretty busy the last week. He’s been trying to appoint multiple racists, sexists, and xenophobes to Cabinet positions. He settled out of court in his Trump University case. He’s using his businesses to gain monetarily from his position. He’s refusing to put his businesses in a blind trust which will cause a conflict of interest.
And that’s not even everything.
And that’s just in the last week. It’s about to get a whole lot worse.
Current Plan of Action: There’s this great link to a Google Doc going around (and, if you haven’t seen it yet, here it is) that has scripts to follow and phone numbers to call about all the current issues. It’s absolutely fantastic and I encourage everyone to set it as their homepage because it’s extremely useful and very effective.
Current Problem: It’s literally too effective (if there is such a thing which honestly I don’t believe). All of the voicemail boxes of these assholes are full and I guarantee you they have no desire to empty them to allow the floodgates to open again. Because so many of us are calling to air their grievances, we’ve literally flooded them to a stopping point.
The Solution: They can’t stop letters.
Paul Ryan:
Washington DC Office
1233 Longworth HOB
Washington, D.C. 20515
Mitch McConnell:
Washington DC Office
317 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Write to them. I want their offices to look like the end of Miracle on 34th Street. It doesn’t even have to be a particularly well worded letter. Here’s all you need to say:
I’m writing to you today because I am in strong opposition to the appointments of Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, And General Flynn.
I also believe that President-elect Trump is working within a conflict of interest by not releasing his financial records and continuing his business through his family instead of entrusting it in a blink trust. The fact that foreign leaders are already being pressured to stay at Trump branded hotels when they visit on official business also worries me greatly.
I would also like to implore you to keep the Affordable Care Act, as I and many others that I know rely on the laws that were put into effect for our continuing health coverage.
That’s it. That’s all you need to say. I don’t care if you have to scrawl it on a napkin in crayon or send it in on a potato, all I care about is that you write the letter and send it in.
If they don’t want to hear our voices anymore, fine. But then they’re going to have to deal with our letters. And while Ryan and McConnell are definitely the big guys to go after, you should still continue to contact your local Senator’s and Representatives through phone lines, and then if they get full go ahead and find the address to their Washington DC office (or local office, whichever you prefer I just think sending a bunch of letters to Washington DC will really send a message) and send them a letter. Send five letters. Send five letters and a potato. I don’t care. Just send them.
Don’t become complacent after only a week. Keep fighting!
