Crack in the R's wall

Hello all, So it looks to me like the resistance has had a huge role in slowing down the R's agenda. But the wall still holds. It does not seem like anything can happen with the R's standing together. I wonder if a call in campaign to your senators and congress people could have an effect. Combined with the mid term election, Mueller investigation, Stormy Daniel's, Senate Cmte findings, and escalating protest's all over the country. The call in would be to just oppose any and all legislation and governing by the current administration. I wonder also if there could be a coordinated day and repeat days to do this. Many people are already set up for calling in so a coordinated effort could be noticed and it could make individuals like us feel better like we are actually doing something. I call in every couple of days on a variety of subjects that are important to me like opposing national Right to work legislation and opposing the privatization of our power plants/dams. Opposing privatization of the schools. I oppose these specific items because i see when the dems get control we can fix things like the EPA and righting the wrongs of the current immigration policies. But it would be difficult to buy back our schools and or infrastructure. Let get organized and call in!

Their wall, among elected officials, is holding. It is not holding among the voting public.

Calls to Republicans or Democrats at this time will not change the "wall".

It's still always a good idea.

The wall we need to fall right now is falling. That can be seen in election after election.
