Yes, the wanna be monarch is, in truth, only play acting. Still, even this show of executive bravado has real world consequences. That's why we need to force our representatives to shut him down.

Yes! I was not familiar with blanket opposition and blocking unanimous consent. Good things to mention in calls. I’m calling Republican senators as well as my own, imploring them to show an iota of moral courage, reminding them that history will judge them.

Hi Donna,

I’ve been mulling over this lately and have gone back to my Viet Nam era Peace days. I believe we need a National movement ( decentralized) based upon a common slogan.

It wasn’t until moms with children, their grandparents and great aunts joined. en masse that Washington listened. Times are different now but I suggest the same kind of activism but at a hyper local level.

I’m going to Schumer’s office in Peekskill Monday afternoon to see how this works.

I’m also suggesting a non threatening type of slogan like “Peace”.

I’M HERE!

Knock, knock

Thanks for what you do!

Jim, I’ve been to Schumer’s office twice in the last couple of weeks (and several times in the past.) He’s never there. At best you’ll get a couple of aids telling you Chuck is “doing everything he can.” Tomorrow I’m going to Albany. Bigger numbers, better optics.

(I’m not trying to discourage you from going - just letting you know my experience.)
