Homework assignment:
Yep, lots to do to support democracy. Time to do some old fashioned letter writing. Why? Because it takes time and when dozens or hundreds of letters flood the electeds' offices, they pay attention. People who write really care. Phone messages, emails, texts and even postcards do not really register.
Best way to write a letter is to focus on a single topic of importance to you. Keep it fairly short, 3 paragraphs or 1 page at most. Include your name and mailing address and emphasize that you are a constituent. Put it in an envelope and mail it.
Topics:
Lots to choose from. No Kings is a good one, but you can pick things that are well defined. Oppose cuts to Social Security, VA health care, the FAA or to the weather folks at NOAA. Tell them how much you hate the oligarchs taking over. Whatever works for you. I have a weekly topic and just do that.
