barbeauxbot:sashayed:sashayed:If your representative voted Yes on Trumpcare, there’s an upside: You still have a crucial, furious job to do.The most effective protest, and the one with the best optics, is the one you make physically: showing up at your shitbag Representative’s district office, camera in hand. Be there when he gets to work in the morning. Be there when she leaves. Ask her if she is embarrassed. Ask him if he is ashamed. Tell her interns and assistants about yourself, about your loved ones. Explain to your local newspaper, to neighborhood blogs, to your facebook friends and Twitter followers why you are furious and disappointed and why you will not forget. If you would rather call, here’s a potential script. It is maybe not the best? I’m pretty angry.Hi. I’m calling to register my anger and disappointment at Rep. ____’s Yes vote on the AHCA. [I/my loved ones] am now at risk of losing my insurance, and I am appalled that social programs that personally affect me and my loved ones will be stripped in order to provide tax breaks to the wealthy. Rep. ____ should be ashamed of himself. I and my community will not forget this vote. Will you please take down my information and send me confirmation that the Congressman is listening to constituents? Thanks.If your rep voted YES and you don’t want to call them, there are PLENTY of people on tumblr who will call on your behalf. If your Rep voted against it, it’s still a good idea to call anyway. Just to confirm that you approve of their vote. The more feedback they get, the better, and the more they can use that support from their constituents to keep fighting for your interests. -- source link
