“My Country is in deep Distress, and has very little Ground of Hope, that She will soon, if ever get out of it…The Body of the People seem to be worn out.” Letter from John Adams, Dec 31, 1772 Hi, all, and happy Thursday. Sometimes it helps to remember that we, as a people, are no foreigners to moments of despair. Look at the above excerpt from a letter John Adams wrote 4 years before the Revolution.
OK, I just did the scary thing and called my representative for the first time! And... Huge letdown after ringing about 20 times, I got a message that the call cannot be completed as dialed. I couldn't even leave a voicemail. I did persist and leave voicemails for my senators though! It was so easy and won't be scared next time. Now I have to figure out how to contact Abigail Spanberger!!
Hi Jessica! Thank you so much for these posts. I live in a blue state and my senators and representatives are already cosponsoring the above legislation. Any tips on what to say to them? Just call and say I support that?
30 million 18-30 year olds are NOT registered to vote in America. Can't we get Amanda Gorman and other young leaders to speak out and get them registered. It is so distressing that our youth are failing our democracy. 18 year olds got the vote after the Vietnam War debacle when youngsters were sent to fight and die for their country without the vote. Many of you seem young: what DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO TO GET THEM TO VOTE~~~~!~
