I have one objection to the blurb you gave us to give the committee members. I think it was too confrontational, that some of them must be on our side, and I changed some of the wording for myself, to be unconfrontational, figuring that they'd be more receptive to what I had to say.
I think I was right to do that, but I realize that good people can disagree.
Jack’s office did that to me too, but it was still important to call. It is true that his constituents have more influence than the rest of us, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call for Perry’s office, I Press the option for constituents and then explain to myself. I can understand why you are frustrated, but it’s still so important that we speak out while we can.
Honey sent this to our group of blue-grey haired anti-fascists. We started out as 10 strangers and now as of today at 256 people in cherry “red” area of Ohio. So they all got it and are making calls, emails, etc.. we range in age from 92 to some in their 20’s..
Have always believed both professionally and personally in Margaret Meade’s words to be true… "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" - Everyday learn something new and take a chop at life it does the soul good…

My writing is direct, but I carry my message with the tone. All that said, it's a template, and I'm glad you used it.
I'm glad you gave us the template. I was not up on any of the details.
Make note, Brian Jack’s office interrupted me and said they had constituents on the other line.
Scott Perry’s recording kept me in a loop and would not allow me to leave a message.
I need to calm down now.
I could hear others in the background just laughing at my outrage.
Fuck them.

I was not interrupted by Jack's office. I gave them the full spiel.
Thanks for calling!
Thanks for alerting me to this!
All done all 11 of them - this needs to end
TJ, hearing you called them all boosted my spirits. Thank you.
