It's time to up the ante
I've been watching your events and looking through your web site recently, and, although the demonstrations are certainly great for blowing off steam, and contacting our congresscritters is fine for venting, I think it's time to get a little more direct.
For instance, yesterday Huffpost had a piece (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/latest-news-live-updates_n_69ef1f0de4b0f3a433cbd69e/liveblog_69f507cce4b0db8899bd748b?origin=home-latest-news-unit) on three Senate Democrats who voted with repukes ("3 Senate Dems Vote To Advance Election Denier To Lifetime Court Seat" ), which I think is disgraceful. I think you should go all out on a campaign to target these three so-called Democrats in their home districts with "How much was the bribe?" and "Are you going to declare it on your taxes?"

Now I'm curious as to whether they will bother to respond.

And by the way, a one day event is not a "strike" let alone a "general strike."

Trying to oust old guard "accomodaters" in favor of fighters.
I just can't find them all, and I generally avoid posting primary endorsements.
Don't expect a reply. I sent in a new protest song or two and no response. So I am teaching myself guitar.
Timd to kick ass!

Or other.

You'll be happy to know that Durbin is not running for reelection.
As for the latter two ... NO!!!
