ring-ring, ring-ring, ring-RING!!!
I think it's important for our sanity that we don't expect our Senators to change their positions immediately just because we make one, or one hundred, phone calls. This is about being part of a tidal wave that is built drop by drop with each phone call we make.
Our phone calls and letters and personal visits and protests in the streets are of critical importance, because without them there will be no tidal wave.
Don't let anyone convince you that this work isn't making a difference just because you can't push a button on the remote and get your Senator to immediately change "channels" - or develop a backbone.
That's what the DC elite WANT you to believe, that you can't make a difference, that you might as well give up right now.
DON'T YOU DRINK THEIR KOOL-AID. We've done difficult things in this country before (ended slavery, women got the vote, the civil rights movement...) and we WILL do it again - if we all persist in doing our bit.
Pick up the phone!
