Angry Enough

Cave in for What?!

I’m angry that Democrats are caving to Republicans just as momentum against them is finally turning in our favor. It’s a betrayal of the sacrifice the unpaid and furloughed workers have endured. It’s a stab in the back to SNAP recipients whose access to food has been leveraged as a political weapon. And it’s a slap in the face to the millions who marched, and to the voters who turned out and delivered overwhelming victories in off-year elections on November 4th.

Yet I still refuse to believe that evil can win over good, and I’m angry enough to reach out to these representatives

.

This is what I did.
I called and wrote to my Senator.
I wrote to my House Representative

I told them that compromise shouldn’t mean surrender, not when healthcare, stability, and the dignity of working people are on the line. I told them that Californians are paying attention, and we expect them to hold the line.

Call. Write. We still have our voices — at least for now.

Websites, in case you need them:

• Find your Senators → senate.gov/senators

• Find your Representative → house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Tell them what you expect. Tell them what you won’t accept.
We still have to believe in John Lewis’s call for good trouble.
