I don't expect those on UEB to call, or their families, as they have been so stigmatized for daring to ask for help, Help in keeping their homes, their kids in school, their credit up, their health, etc.
So those indirectly affected, meaning all of us, must call, although I don't think calling Rand or Ryan will help. Another outpouring of letters to Senator Sanders can be used to show the truth of what is happening.
