51 Repuke senators voted against paid sick leave expansion!

[mvd]

This has me fuming! I guess no crisis is too big for Repukes to actually put workers over business. Collins and Murkowski disappointed once again.

1. Yeah! Two for Two. So much winning?

2. So perhaps we should take to the streets, all spread out 6-8 feet apart

but out in the streets. We need to shut down their lives so that all they can do is sit there and either vote to help us or look at all of us glaring at them. Even their aids should walk out on them at this point. They should be offered no services of any kind, not even a cashier or doctor.

Fuck them!

3. The article's recommendation to call won't do much unfortunately

I like your idea.

6. The civil action has to fit the cause...

they have forced us to shut down, they must do so as well, and they aren't. Instead they are sucking us dry and taking the national treasury for their own piggy bank. We must do something to make it stop. We're all going to get sick, it appears, we may as well stand for something and endure what we must.

I don't see much in the way of happy endings but I do see a path or two through it, none of them are desirable but they will be necessary to survive. We should start with the easy stuff. I think glaring at them whenever they show their faces is one thing to start with. Remember when people yelled at Boener in the cafe? And Collins when she was out? Ms Hucksterbee ? We should not let them get away with feeling any comfort at all. They deserve no respect.

4. Corono virus will be what takes the US down as grotesque runaway

capitalism is stressed to the breaking point as republicans vote for servitude and death.

5. Everyone home sick or unemployed needs to call now

Or

855-980-2355

7. All circuits are busy!

Hell yes! Keep calling.

If you are in a blue state I recommend using zip code 33607 and select Rick Scott and ask why he can’t be bothered to show up for a vote during a national/ global emergency.

8. Thanks for all the info!

10. They probably paid someone to jam their own lines so no one could call. nt

9. Keep calling

Bumping.
