What will it take for Congress to do at least the minimums?

Is it going to take another "When in the course of human events..." type of moment or movement?

Or will it take surrounding congress with a human-arms-interlocked crowd several people deep not allowing congresspersons to go any where until they do DO SOMETHING?

Deep in my heart I want there to be some sort of progress on solving this issue that does NOT include violence or dissolution of the US
but something somewhere has GOT to frakking give so we get some movement forward towards a better future for all.

And don't you dare tell me to just vote. Waiting for a vote that they are setting up to count and otherwise legally challenge the results of and tying up everything that they don't win ain't going to cut the mustard.

Ink on a piece of damn paper, no matter how old, don't, won't and can't stop the bullets from flying.

So — you go vote.

The Republicans that oppose it do so because of the voters in their state and districts that oppose it .
