I feel like maybe we should call our 4 senators (AK, MW and both KY) and say thanks for voting the way the did. I am from AK, I generally don't agree with a lot of what Lisa does, but she does have a history of occasional rank breaking, and, performative or not, she is still one of the only senators who doesn't religiously fall in line.
Please do - phone calls mean a lot, and I really cannot overstate this, a ridiculous amount of weight is given to them if they’re in-state; not email. Any time you can call on an issue, do.
I called both of them. One got my thanks, and one my dissatisfaction. I don't think he cares... But I did anyway.
Awesome! Trust me, it might not feel like they care, but they are very data driven. Getting calls from locals is what puts the most pressure on.
Feeling like i should call mine and ask why they couldn't stand up with these 4.
I called one and said thanks. Called the other, and told his voicemail the same thing. Not that he will listen... Useless human.
