I've been working on a letter to state Senators for a minute.

SUBJ: Covid BS

Need an example to plagiarize that will convey my proper frustrations about current BS re vaccinations and the "rise in covid" cases blamed on un-vaccinated.

anyone have something I can use?

I started writing letters to my reps 40 yrs ago when I was young and optimistic..... they just stole the election... you think they give a rats azz about your letter? wtf

Covid is important but I want to see an honest counting of ballots in Arizona and Georgia. Until then I think Congress should stand down and close the doors because at least 2 and maybe 4 people do not belong in Congress.

I can agree with that. We must get this last election sorted out.

Buy a Dillon progressive set up for .223.

And another for 38 sooper, and save up for a dump truck.

100% agree with you!

Until we get the last election sorted out you can bet the red side is never going to win another one.

kwg

They don't. The last email reply I got back from Rick Scott about supporting the 2nd Amendment was enlightening.

"I'll do what I think is right".

What??

Screw the 2nd, screw the Constitution.

In other words, his spaghetti backbone rules the day. POS.

I could probably fill up a 2 horse trailer with the
stamps I've used over the years sending carefully
crafted letters to Washington DC dick taters
Never got any response other than the preprinted
form letters the rest of yall got.

Kind of a waste of time anyway with all the apathetic
zombies that live in front of the big screen and
guzzling beer is the most strenuous activity of the day.
All the easy living and bountiful meals will have to
come to a screeching halt before people give 2 sh*ts
about anything other than the 6 inches in front of
their nose

Thanks all

In the current political climate the only thing writing a letter or email to a Congress critter will do is put you on a list and on their radar.
Don’t waste your time or money.

I've become of the mindset that the only thing that's going to wake people up is if there is suddenly a burp in the supply chain of food.

Nothing else will get their attention. No wake up call. No #this or that. Just plain, Hey I can't get my Church's chicken sammich?

Paging Mr. Gandi...Mahatma Gandi to the mail room, please...

I'm sure most here realize firearms aren't the answer to our problem this time around...Biden has already telegraphed his intentions...talk of F-16's and nukes are just a calling card to Marshal law. And, emails are easily disposed of.

I think we need to take a page out of Gandi's play book...drown our state and federal capitals with hard-copy letters through the mail. One letter a week to each representative, house and senate...one a week, every week. We have a nation of over three hundred million people. If we could get just one percent of the population to send 6-8 letter each...24-25 million letters a week, through the postal service...USPS being required to deliver them!!! Flood those piss-ants with paper, every one of them. And one additional to the presidents' office They'd have to sort through each letter to find official communications.

These letters wouldn't have to be lengthy or complex, just say, "your my representative and I want you to focus on these issues immediately, then list 3-5 items...balance budget, southern boarder, covid, etc. Save each copy to each of your reps. on your computer. Then print and mail every week. FLOOD OUR CAPITALS WITH PAPER!!!

There has got to be 1% (three million) that are concerned enough to pend $3-4/wk for a couple months...tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on.

Maybe if we stage a peaceful protest the communists will pack up and leave? Why won't that work? They seem like reasonable people. Who's with me?

I understand the "importance" of petitioning our elected officials.
And they do take them seriously.

Sort of.

We have one of each flavor.

Writing to Bob Casey Jr. (D) ain't gonna do squat.
The Dems do an outstanding job of staying on point and keeping everyone
in line. Plus, other than abortion, he is the party line.



Pat Toomey (R) was the darling of the Religious Right.
Until recently. Now his true RINO heart has been exposed.
And he is retiring to return to the public sector. (PAYOFF TIME!)
Ain't wasting stamps and time on that POS.


And that.
Is a great illustration of a lot of issues we face.

Honestly, in this time and place, how many of them can be influenced?
Unfortunately, some republicans can be. The Dems are rock solid.

And F' the prick from WV.
Schumer will let him bluster.
He will let him stray on some things. Unimportant, or huge majority votes where his vote doesn't matter. He won't be upsetting any big decisions.
Only enough to get re-elected.
He even voted against Trump when it didn't matter.
Schumer made him take that hit just to keep the vote unanimous.

This is my biggest platform.
Wish I had a big one.
Anti-union guys, sit down.


We need a strike.
Every working conservative person to just take a Monday off.
Farmer really can't, I know. Police, medical, can't.
But we need to adopt the tactics that work.
What's this country worth to you?
You willing to give up a days profits, wages, piss off a boss/customer?

Or, are you still sucking up, to whoever?
So deep in debt you "cant"?

If people won't take a day off to enjoy, without pay, without going somewhere,
then we are totally screwed. If one days earnings are too important to risk
in this fight. We ain't fighting.

But consider.

Gas stations closed, grocery stores closed, trucks parked, factories closed.
I don't like it. Cuts against the work ethic and moral ethic.

But, if we got 30% of actual non-life sustaining people to participate.
The whole world would notice. Not hyperbole. The whole world!

Shirley you jest. Next time there is a hurricane, go out and pee directly into the wind, preferably at it's maximum velocity. There you go, just as effective as letters to Senators, Congressmen or any other "elected" official. They didn't need you to get where they are and they don't need you to stay there.

It will get you on the "donor" mailing list

I have the first line: "You ignorant slut."

This,

Sadly, this is the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth.

Those people do not give a schiit about what you think, what you want or what you want them to do. They know whats best for us & they are going to see that we get it, even if it kills us.

You know the old joke about the mule & getting his attention with a 2x4? That's about the only thing left that might work...................just sayin'.

MM

I'm still holding out hope for the peaceful protests.
