ezs note: You want to do something - so here's how! To speak on national issues - whether for or against a particular bill - for your Representative, click www.house.gov, and click in your ZIP code in the right side of the screen and your Rep will appear. (hopefully) Click in an e-letter, or do it personally. I find that talking is better - you are more likely a real response rather than a canned one. Next, go to talk to your Senators. (Remember, at the federal level, there are always two.) Click www.senate.gov. At the state or local level call your city or town hall ask for your state rep AND state senator, or your city or town hall, and the next date they will be meeting. The local meetings are the BEST chance of meeting face-to-face, so if possible, take it!
Good luck!

Hey Steve, you stole my thunder! (Aaah, but that's OK!)
The night before Inauguration Day, I ran across "Trump regrets", a post-it board absolutely chock full of former Trump supporters who either had serious misgivings about the man, or who were absolutely enraged given the bald-faced lies served up by Trump. Some were rather silly, but many others were truly tragic. I went to bed thinking some of these thoughts need to be put on a blog. But, ack, Steve stole my thunder! As Kyle would have said, you bastard!
But seriously, Steve, his partner in the film Kristi, myself, and many others have given serious thought to this subject. Here is his 30-minute thought on the subject. Enjoy.
