While we're yelling at our right-wing reps: why not both holler about preserving the Department of Education and U.S. support for Ukraine!?

26.2.2025 17:01Comment on Red State Scripts Vol. 3.5: Don’t Cut Medicaid, You Absolute Turdwads by Andrea Grimes<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This one was extra good, thanks. As for other issues: against my better judgement and self preservation instinct l'm going to be at the #txlege tomorrow with 800 of my closest friends, yelling about the fact that we let 18 year olds by AR-15s in this state, which is truly insane. They're also moving a book-banning bill into committee tomorrow, SB13. That's a pretty low number, they must be planning to pass that shit. If I get time I'll go over and yell about that, too.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
26.2.2025 14:47Comment on Red State Scripts Vol. 3.5: Don’t Cut Medicaid, You Absolute Turdwads by Jenny Staff JohnsonHouse Republicans pulled some bullshit and eeked out a vote on a federal budget resolution that, if it continues as-is, will be absolutely the fuck devastating to the 1 in 5 Americans who rely on Medicaid. But this battle can absolutely be fought and won.
26.2.2025 03:50Red State Scripts Vol. 3.5: Don’t Cut Medicaid, You Absolute TurdwadsAndrea, I have been calling my Congressthing - Pete Sessions and some have been upsetting calls. Two were just take a message variety but one the staffer argued with me and threatened to terminate the call. I have been using 5calls.org and today I received an email from Sessions with this paragraph "It has come to my attention that you have used a third party to send your message. Recently, my office has seen many messages from third party vendors where these vendors did not ask permission for their letter to be sent on behalf of my constituent. Every constituent message is important to me, and I take pride in responding to all of them. So that I know your message is coming from you, I would ask that you contact my office directly so that I may respond to your message." Is this legit that they can not count the call because the "vendor" did not get permission. I gave permission. I just wanted to let you know.

25.2.2025 17:29Comment on Red State Scripts Vol. 3: Who Are We? (“We”?) by perfectlypersonabbadc638f6This week I'm asking my red-state reps: are we—and I use the word loosely, out of duress—the kind of country what abandons its allies and civil servants?
25.2.2025 03:20Red State Scripts Vol. 3: Who Are We? (“We”?)<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm calling to let Attorney General [] know that I'm disgusted that he has joined the case of Texas v. Becerra. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He says that he will not do away with section 504 entirely, but the current case has no such assurances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I demand that he withdraw immediately and focus instead on actual breaches of private citizens' safety and freedom from the unelected and illegal work of DOGE.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And if he continues to neglect his constituents in favor of bullying a few transgender children, I will ensure everyone I can knows that and votes for a more responsible official in the next election.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

18.2.2025 01:19Red State Scripts Vol. 2: Don’t Turn the FAA Over to Elon Musk<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For Attorney Generals but I could use a script for the 504 lawsuit that 17 states are involved in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
16.2.2025 03:45Comment on Introducing Red State Scripts, Vol. 1 by Antonette Tatro<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have to vent. I just had an appalling experience calling Rep. Riley Moore’s office. I voiced my concerns over Musk’s takeover of government and data. I also asked for a call back to hear my Rep.’s position on the matter. I was told that “He supports President Trump’s agenda”. So I told him he might want to revisit the oath he made when he assumed office because it’s his job to uphold the Constitution, not the demands of the President. I’m so angry.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Omg, I feel like someone understands me!! I feel like the world is going crazy around me. They say it was a close presidential race, which i find insane of course, necause who on earth would vote for such a man!, but with that said my whole family are all trumpers! I feel defeated! My twin and I don't even talk anymore because she says I should submit to trump because he is ordained by God. WTH???? I'm thinking these people are possessed! However, thank you for providing the template and the links!
