Called Cornyn and Cruz's office, and I gotta say, I had a smile on my face!

I am cursed with Cornyn and Cruz as my Senators, and I called their offices this morning to express how very proud I was of the three Republican Senators who put country ahead of party last night. I also expressed my disappointment in Cornyn and Cruz for their failure to do that.

I know it makes very little impact on the two idiots, but I actually got to enjoy these phone calls a wee little bit!!!

I have a family member currently battling Stage IV colon cancer.

I am also in the age bracket (myself) that was to be most impacted by Trumpcare.

So, I was very happy about the vote last night. Living in a red state with a bunch of crazies offers little chances to get a little "payback", so I have to take those opportunities as they become available. As I said, I know Cruz and Cornyn don't pay any attention to constituents, but the resistance is working elsewhere, so we must keep it up.

Today's a good day!!!

If you have occasion to call them again, don't forget to mention that you and everyone you know will remember how each of these worthy gentlemen voted when they're next up for re-election.
