He's asking stupid questions.
I hear you ranting about frisbees

Iām about to sleep but I think Warner may be to caught up in his concern for National security than acknowledging the need to protect the citizens rights. We must encourage him and others like him to evaluate things in regards to citizens not potential foreign parties. I plan to write him about this and may format a template for others to use even outside Virginia and even to other Congressmen. We can freak out about Dems all we want but unless we as their constituents act they will get their way.
Same goes for Republicans
Agreed. Though the fact that Media Matters and most left-leaning outlets are the ones really pushing the censorship and election interference angle, I'm pessimistic about getting the Dems on board. I do think the Republicans may be awakening to the reality, but I'm not sure if they feel safe actually doing something.
Writing your congressperson (regardless of party) never hurt.
Send me the template, Lago!
These things that 'never hurt' can waste your time.
People are never given any credit for their intuition of these things.
Putting your name on a template doesn't take much time at all. That's why people make letter writing templates. 1-2 concerned people lowers the required time for everyone else.
....
That's probably why it's pointless to begin with.
"Hey look at all these letters"
"Oh the first 4 were exactly the same."
"Y'know what, fuck the remaining 200."

Ok. but it's better than doing nothing.
*sigh*
I hate that platitude.
Suppose you made a unique effort
Only to get it clumped into the other templates.
No one reads it.
I mean, it's stuff like this that keeps social security around.

Threaten it and all the seniors start writing.
And then they vote.
You're really failing the argument so far.
I mean, you're making a voice.
And you're making it known that you've noticed and are active enough to be paying attention.
Enough people do it and it does get notived.
i never could have imagine we would reach this point
hahaha
Her?
You've seen the curbstomping she got, right?
Timestamped for your pleasure.
Yo so update: it seems like a blanket watershed and not an outright ban
