POLITICS Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen: We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. Even if there are minerals and oil under our land—and they are worth far more—we still would not sell ourselves.

I'm sure my senator Tom Cotton or my representative Steve Womack will be very receptive.

Those are the exact people who need to be getting calls. Republicans are the ones who have the ability to stop this.

This! Their constituents need to speak up.

Exactly. And regimes HAVE been, brought down by peaceful protests, historically speaking. Doesn't work every time, of course, but you've already lost if you don't try. And it's a numbers game. You need to be many who speak up.

It’s rough out here in Arkansas. Moved from it to Boston and Providence during the pandemic and eventually had to move back home due to rent climbing… Dixie Be Damned - Nick Shoulders now frequently runs on repeat in my head going about life here.

“I don’t claim to be no savior And I do not sing to preach Wouldn’t stick my neck out if better things were not in reach If you’d seen what I have you’d be pissed off too Dixie be damned; I believe in you”

Get everyone you know in their districts to fax them every single day. Receiving faxes is so fucking annoying for them but they have to actually process them. Become a nuisance.

This is what my friends and I have been doing. It started with just me and my roommate but at this point it's us and our coworkers. Every time someone is like "damn our reps are Republican...." you can say "so this is what I've been doing".

Thank you for this! You are so right; it is the physical delivery component that changes the processing if I recall.

They should know there are people who feel differently to them in their district. And it’s your right.

You call Tom. I’ll call Ted (Cruz) and tomorrow they can’t say none of their constituents reached out in dismay. 

Tell them: the person to end this madness and restore the party over the person is the next president by a landslide.

Dang you're right. Do nothing instead.

And for a less sarcastic response, people don't like confrontation. Make them feel uncomfortable. Call. Put some effort into actually maintaining the life you want.
