I hear you ranting about frisbees

Iā€™m 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.

2018-09-07 04:33:39 UTC  

Same goes for Republicans

2018-09-07 04:37:55 UTC  

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.

2018-09-07 04:38:19 UTC  

Send me the template, Lago!

2018-09-07 04:40:52 UTC  

These things that 'never hurt' can waste your time.

2018-09-07 04:41:28 UTC  

People are never given any credit for their intuition of these things.

2018-09-07 04:44:08 UTC  

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.

2018-09-07 04:44:20 UTC  

....

2018-09-07 04:44:30 UTC  

That's probably why it's pointless to begin with.

2018-09-07 04:44:37 UTC  

"Hey look at all these letters"

2018-09-07 04:44:43 UTC  

"Oh the first 4 were exactly the same."

2018-09-07 04:44:50 UTC  

"Y'know what, fuck the remaining 200."

2018-09-07 04:48:37 UTC

2018-09-07 05:06:01 UTC  

Ok. but it's better than doing nothing.

2018-09-07 05:06:07 UTC  

*sigh*

2018-09-07 05:06:09 UTC  

They will count 200 letters and guess.

2018-09-07 05:06:10 UTC  

I hate that platitude.

2018-09-07 05:06:20 UTC  

Suppose you made a unique effort

2018-09-07 05:06:33 UTC  

Only to get it clumped into the other templates.

2018-09-07 05:06:40 UTC  

No one reads it.

2018-09-07 05:06:50 UTC  

I mean, it's stuff like this that keeps social security around.

2018-09-07 05:07:03 UTC

2018-09-07 05:07:05 UTC  

Threaten it and all the seniors start writing.

2018-09-07 05:07:08 UTC  

And then they vote.

2018-09-07 05:07:09 UTC  

You're really failing the argument so far.

2018-09-07 05:07:40 UTC  

I mean, you're making a voice.

2018-09-07 05:08:03 UTC  

And you're making it known that you've noticed and are active enough to be paying attention.

2018-09-07 05:08:15 UTC  

Enough people do it and it does get notived.

2018-09-07 05:09:05 UTC  

i never could have imagine we would reach this point

2018-09-07 05:09:31 UTC  

hahaha

2018-09-07 05:09:37 UTC  

Her?

2018-09-07 05:09:44 UTC  

You've seen the curbstomping she got, right?

2018-09-07 05:10:26 UTC  

Timestamped for your pleasure.

2018-09-07 05:11:05 UTC  

Yo so update: it seems like a blanket watershed and not an outright ban

2018-09-07 05:11:31 UTC  

that man is incredibly british
