Live person (polite, friendly) at Sinema's. Promised she would write down my comment.

We can’t go to them for help, because while they look like us, and we’re supposed to be in the same party…they really aren’t one us!

Got a VM for Manchin, got a person for Sinema. I was polite and asked that they vote to end the filibuster. I reminded them that their vote affects more than just the constituents of their respective states. Their own constituents are hurting from their actions, and in addition, so are the voters across the whole country.

So fed up with this crap.

That it be their constituents. Calling every single day until they break the two people that work for them.

Disrupt their town halls, stand outside of their regional offices and protest, etc. etc.

This is what we did to former congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-th - Republican) to get him to vote no on getting rid of the ACA. We harassed and harangued him as constituents until we broke him. Then we got rid of him.

I don't have a checkbook to write the big checks for their PACs, so they don't care.

The only millions they care about are dollars, not people.

And I see no end of television commercials on various stations by the Democratic party praising Sinema. I don't think she will be listening to anyone.
