I’ve avoided posting political crap here, but all good or bad things must come to an end.
I’m appalled at the actions of the upper-class and high-end corporations; I cannot believe that this is the country that I grew up in.
I’ve received many an invite to join email campaign against the Draconian lords, as well as campaigns through social media to go to battle.
I abhor the Draconian lords. But, really. Email?
Bullshit.
Yes, we’ve all heard about this-that-or the other. But, these are extreme times. We cannot afford to hide behind MoveOn.org and its like. Get balls. Write or call your representative. DO IT YOURSELF. Seriously. Email campaigns do not resound at this level of crisis, nor do they truly inconvenience your DC fatcat. As in Hollywood, emails are what interns are for.
Non stop phone calls and mountains of mail do inconvenience people.
It worked for Mr. Smith. As John Lennon suggested, imagine:
Now, go write your representative.

I always get a generic email back from my representatives that basically boil downto, “Call the office if you want your voice to be heard.” And then when I do that, they ignore me anyway….

Then write them. For reals. With an envelope and stuff.

You are so right. A person really does need to just pick up the phone. It is a shame that the government of our nation is in what appears to be a state of disrepair. Great post.
