Recalcitrant senators need a starve-in at their offices
One of the disadvantages of living in a sane state is that I don't have many opportunities to organize protests directed at my representatives. But if I lived in a state with Bule Dog or Republican senators, I'd gather up every unemployed, foreclosed, cut, and otherwise harmed person I could find and plunk ourselves down in front of their offices, complete with signs designed to pressure the damned fools (or in the case of hopeless ones, give them a bit more bad publicity).

I don't plan on trading Bernie Sanders for Mullahs Grahan or Shelby anytime soon, but this is exactly the kind of time for organizing. If any of you are better-placed organizers, please grab this opportunity for action. The Senator you sway may... well, save the economy from Great Depression mk. II.
