1. People need to use this time to call their senators

We've been leaning on Cory Gardner here in Colorado but he's convinced everyone calling and showing up at his office are paid protestors. So he is making that excuse to vote for De Vos because his true constituents are not protesting and just fine with De Vos as education secretary. He is such an idiot. Another by product of an off year election :sigh:

3. 2020 ... won't be an off year election then. I keep reminding his local office of that fact

as I've called in ... in addition to reminding them he has voted "with Trump" 100%. In the meantime I look forward to continuing to call his offices and making my displeasure known.

I use my morning commute time to call - I get voicemail for Gardner almost every single time, but fairly consistently reach a staffer in Buck's office. Both are of course 100% voting with Trump - I keep mentioning that Trump will be the anchor they each get to run with in their next election...

And I thank them for that. They did ALL they could and that's all we can ask of them.
