Time to go on the offensive. If you live in House districts that Joe Biden won that have republican reps (waves at NY), let them know what you think about them voting for an impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. There are 18 who need to know their jobs are on the line for stupid, unnecessary votes.

Frustrated that republicans who previously voted for aid to UKR are stalling now, and putting UKR’s safety in jeopardy. If you live in states with recalcitrant reps (House and Senate) contact their offices and let them know you expect them to support aid for UKR! Adam Kinzinger said this helps!!

This is a chapter worth reading and sharing. Paints a more realistic picture of Congressional Republicans than our media have done. Cynical, power-hungry fools, willing to sacrifice our democracy to feed their constituent beasts.
