Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to call for Sen. Menendez’s resignation, tell the Wisconsin state legislature to abandon its election-nullification scheme in impeaching Justice Protasiewicz, and tell your Congressfolk to let our Postal Service offer more services. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Peace Action helps you tell your Senators to demand the resignation of Sen. Bob Menendez already. Just like Brett Kavanaugh and so, so many others, Mr. Menendez pretends not to know the difference between the right to presumption of innocence and the “right” to a position of power; he also, not incidentally, pretends that the people of New Jersey are really, really rooting for him, when the only reason they even put him in office is that they can’t stand the idea of putting a Republican in our Senate. In other words, read the room, dude! Anyway, only two kinds of people keep half a million dollars in cash in their homes: old people who don’t trust banks, and corrupt people. I’m pretty sure I know which category I’d put Bob Menendez in.
Rise helps you tell the Wisconsin state legislature to abandon its efforts to impeach Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge Janet Protasiewicz before she’s even heard a case. Their BS reason for impeaching her? Oh, she criticized gerrymandering on the campaign trail, which they think “prejudices” her. But everyone except elected politicians who couldn't win without gerrymandering opposes gerrymandering! It’s not a tough thing to say, and doesn’t even predict how she’d rule on a particular gerrymandering case (see Kennedy, Anthony). So, you think they’ll listen to us? They won’t want to. But they also won’t want to be humiliated by public outcry against their obvious folly, and they’ll only feel that humiliation if we all speak out against them. And make no mistake: they’re trying to nullify the people’s will as expressed in an election, so they deserve all the humiliation we can give them.
Finally, Americans for Financial Reform helps you tell your Congressfolk to improve our Postal Service by allowing it to offer new services, like postal banking, selling public transportation tickets, and checking in on seniors. That’d be better than the coward’s way out of slashing jobs, raising prices, and cutting services, and maybe letting our Post Offices offer more services is a far better way to ensure we have a Postal Service in the future – a Postal Service that our Constitution has actually mandated into existence and requires that we maintain, I feel compelled to point out. The privatizers will tell you that a privatized Postal Service could fulfill that Constitutional mandate with enough oversight. If you believe that, I’ve got some extra scholarships to Trump University to sell you.
