I'll add that my action is being a good neighbor but also: I'm going to start hounding our (Republican!) Congressman as often as possible. If you live in Sleepy, that's Lawler and his DC office is 202-225-6506. If you can't march today, call.
In terms of what to say? - I suggest focus on one topic quickly each time. Writing or calling or showing up, whatever works. But we can flood them with our voices. I'm trying to choose a different topic that irks me most each week and start there. People don't read, so a long rant won't do but try to be short and to the point. If they are your representative they represent you, all of you, no matter your party. Good luck!

Yikes. I’ll keep calling.
A little aside note: I knew there was a reason I never read A Handmaid's Tale. Why read about a dystopian world when I live in it;)
Yes it is incredibly painful
